We expect Mercedes to offer the A180 as well as A200 variants of A-Class with engine options ranging from 1.5L to 1.8L in both petrol and diesel guise. Mercedes A-Class will form a new segment of luxurious hatchbacks in India which will be later joined by a few others from the competition. And hence, Mercedes will take all measures to take advantage of being the first mover here.
