Mercedes-Benz B-Class
More imposing than the A-Class series sold in Europe, the B-Class represents the German automaker’s entry-level series in Canada. Looking like a small minivan, this Mercedes offers all the technology and luxury associated with the brand. Inside, space is generous, while the chassis’ solidity imposes a good sense of safety. All that’s missing is a diesel engine, and it would be the perfect economical family vehicle. Many accessories are available to make it more practical.
