Most Affordable Mercedes-Benz Car in India

When it comes to luxury car brands, Mercedes-Benz was the first to arrive in India. Over the years, the German automaker has built a prestigious kingdom on Indian soil and today, it stands strong as the best-selling luxury car brand in India. Understandably, its cars appeal to the masses more strongly than those of other luxury car brands. While Mercedes-Benz attracts most luxury car buyers, many consider Mercedes-Benz cars out of their reach due to their high cost. Addressing this concern, this article highlights the most affordable Mercedes-Benz car in India and its Mercedes-Benz alternatives as pre owned luxury cars.

Mercedes-Benz A-Class Limousine

The most affordable Mercedes-Benz car in India is the Mercedes-Benz A-Class Limousine, priced at Rs 46.05 – 48.55 lakh (ex-showroom). Since Mercedes-Benz is acclaimed for its higher levels of luxury and comfort compared to any other luxury car brand, the A-Class embodies that advantage over its rival, the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe. It is more spacious and feels richer on the inside with high-quality plastics, soft-touch materials, and premium seats. Moreover, while the A-Class delivers a suave ride comfort, it does not feel as sporty to drive as the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe. However, the A-Class delivers a class-leading mileage of up to 17.5 km/l from petrol and up to 21.35 km/l from diesel, and such mileage figures are indeed a cherry on top as far as luxury cars are concerned.

Mercedes-Benz A-Class Limousine Specifications

• Transmission: 7-speed DCT automatic & 8-speed DCT automatic
• Mileage:  17.5 km/l (petrol), 21.25 km/l (diesel)
