Mercedes-Benz B-Class
Recently updated, the B-Class doesn’t bring anything new to the table for 2018, with the exception of a slight shake-up in the options catalogue. This wagon, which sells for under $40,000, has just one engine, but offers a choice of front- or all-wheel drive. The turbocharged, 2.0L four-cylinder engine is paired with a seven-speed automatic gearbox. To make the B-Class’ ride more dynamic, you can switch from Comfort mode to Sport mode.
