The all-new 2013 Mercedes-Benz B 200 bowed to the crowd for the very first time in North America this week. Mechanical innovations and a lower centre of gravity are just some of the upgrades the 2013 version benefits from. Only available in Canada, the B 200 sets a new standard in the compact segment with its spacious cabin, 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, ECO start/stop technology and enhanced safety features.

Mercedes’ brand new the C 63 AMG Coupé Black Series super sports car also made its Canadian debut,. Its 6.3L AMG V8 deploys 510 hp and 457 lb-ft of torque and catapults the car from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.2 seconds. An adjustable suspension and high-performance brakes keep the blistering new coupe in check.

Finally, Mercedes presented the new SLK 55 AMG, powered by a 5.5L AMG V8 that putts down 415 ponies and 398 lb-ft or torque. They allow it to dash from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.6 seconds. A cylinder management system helps cut back on fuel consumption by 30%.
