In an unprecedented robust move, Mercedes-Benz Canada did not change the MSRP of the 2013 B250 which replaces the B200. The All New Redesigned vehicle, despite all the expensive upgrades and features, is aggressively priced at $29,900 making it one of the most affordable luxury vehicle in its segment. This is very good news to all the B200 customers who have been waiting patiently for this vehicle for about a year. There was no new B200 produced for model year 2012.
Here is what Mercedes-Benz had to say about this new offering.
"We are extremely pleased to announce the pricing of the 2013 B250 at $29,900. While the price is unchanged versus the previous generation B200, there is a world of difference to be discovered with the all-new B-Class.
The 2nd generation B-Class remains exclusive to Canada in North America and keeps its position as the most affordable model in the Mercedes-Benz family. The B250 has been completely redesigned to blend sporty proportions and striking contours to give an air of refined luxury. Under the hood is an all-new highly efficient 4-cylinder turbo engine with ECO start/stop function (providing 208 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque). Our brand new 7G-DCT dual-clutch transmission provides benchmark performance and comes as standard equipment.
The all-new B-Class offers tremendous value with over $7,000 in added equipment versus the outgoing model. New standard technological and safety innovations such as Collision Prevention Assist, ATTENTION ASSIST, ADAPTIVE BRAKE with HOLD function and a full complement of eleven airbags ensure that the new B-Class is the safest car in its segment. Also, the following standard equipment highlights show many of the value enhancements that come with the new B-Class:
Additionally, there are a number of optional packages to suit customer tastes. Our Premium Package comes with a panoramic sunroof, heated front seats, Media Interface, and Thermotronic dual-zone climate control. For an even more dynamic experience, our affordable Sport Package comes complete with 18” 5-twin spoke bi-colour wheels, sports suspension, bi-xenon headlights, steering wheel shift paddles and several other enhancements.
With other packages like the Driver Assistance Package, Memory Package and the brand new Exclusive Package (with leather upholstery, stitched Artico dash and wood trim), customers can truly make the new B-Class their own."
