As the first front-wheel drive ever sold by Mercedes-Benz in Canada, the B-Class’ mission was to convince the brand’s fans to accept this type of architecture. The results seem to have been positive, since the manufacturer is now offering another FWD, the CLA sedan. Not to be forgotten, the B-Class is still around and offers a twin-clutch automatic gearbox and a 208-hp engine. The car is also very practical and able to accommodate five adults or transport up to 1,500 litres of cargo.
