The A-Class and B-Class ‘Night Edition’ are designed for the ‘go getters’ who believe in arriving in style wherever they go. The A-Class and B-Class ‘Night Edition’ was launched by Roland Folger, MD & CEO, Mercedes-Benz India.
Roland Folger, MD & CEO, Mercedes-Benz India commented, “We are glad to remain the most preferred luxury car brand in India and we begin this year in style, by launching two products in the segment we have pioneered, ‘compact luxury’. The trendy and fashionable A-Class and B-Class ‘Night Edition’ are a synthesis of youthful design that emulates modern luxury without compromising on performance. We believe our New Generation Cars play a key role in attracting dynamic, affluent and young Indians to the brand and this success story will be further amplified by the launch of the ‘Night Edition’ variants.
Mr. Folger further added, “As the most progressive models in the compact luxury segment, the A-Class and B-Class have been instrumental in making brand Mercedes-Benz more youthful. Both these cars truly embody the changing preference of the youth in today’s social milieu, which increasingly prefer compact luxury.

7-speed dual clutch automatic transmission (7G-DCT): The dual clutch transmission combines the comfort of a 7-speed automatic transmission with the driving dynamics of a manual transmission. The 7G-DCT consists of two sub-transmissions, one of which transfers the tractive power to the wheels while the other is pre-selecting the next gear. This leads to fast, smooth gear changing without any interruptions in tractive power and results in improved acceleration.
