Mercedes-Benz B-Class
The B-Class is back in 2013 after taking a year off. Still a Canadian exclusive, the “B” is lower, wider and longer than the previous generation was. The styling is more conventional because of this, but the interior keeps the versatility that made the B200 so popular. Again, only a 5-door hatchback body style is available. The sole version of the B250, powered by a 208 hp turbocharged four-cylinder engine, uses a double-clutch 7-speed automatic gearbox.
