Pricing for redesigned 2009 B-Class and 2009 C-Class remains identical to 2008
Mercedes-Benz Canada today announced that pricing will remain virtually identical to 2008 for the facelifted 2009 B-Class and the 2009 C-Class despite a new design for the B-Class and additional standard features for both models. The B-Class and C-Class already dominate their respective segments, and the refreshed design and additional content will provide even greater value for customers.
Pricing for the 2009 Mercedes-Benz B-Class starts from $29,900 for the B200, and $34,400 for the B200 TURBO. For 2009, the redesigned B-Class features many enhancements including an updated front end design, new rear bumper and revised tail lights, new wheel design and more standard equipment including a new generation audio and communications system with Bluetooth and in-dash CD Changer.
The award-winning C-Class also features new standard equipment and an optional new dynamic handling package for 2009. The Mercedes-Benz C230 starts from $35,800 for the rear wheel drive version and $39,500 for the C230 4MATIC. The C300 with standard sport package starts from $41,200, and the C300 4MATIC starts from $44,900. In addition, the powerful C350 will be priced from $48,200 for the sporty rear wheel drive version and the 4MATIC C350 starts from $50,400.
President and CEO of Mercedes-Benz Canada, Marcus Breitschwerdt, remarked: "The B-Class is a Canadian exclusive model, and strong sales demonstrate that Canadians have embraced this versatile vehicle. Since its release, the All-New C-Class has been an outstanding seller, and a standard sport package on the C300 and additional standard equipment for 2009 should ensure the momentum continues for this award-winning vehicle. So far, it has been another recordbreaking year for Mercedes-Benz. With aggressive pricing on our thrilling 2009 product portfolio, we will continue to offer the best value and satisfaction possible in every facet of the purchase process and ownership experience."
This follows the recent announcement that prices will remain the same for the facelifted 2009 CLS-Class despite a new design and additional standard equipment. For 2009 the CLS550 will start from $93,500, and the powerful CLS63 AMG will start from $128,300. Pricing was also recently released for the next generation 2009 SL-Class and SLK-Class. For 2009 the SL-Class starting price was reduced by more than $10,000 to start from $125,000 for the SL550, and the SLK-Class price was improved by more than $3,000 to start from $57,500 for the SLK300.
