Mercedes-Benz B-Class
Mercedes-Benz’s entry-level model, the B-Class, recently got a makeover. Its sportier lines turn a few more heads than before and its modern drivetrain is comprised of a 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder engine that develops 208 horsepower and 258 lbs.-ft. of torque. The most interesting mechanical feature is undoubtedly the addition of a 7G-DCT seven-speed twin-clutch transmission.
