Mercedes-Benz has more models on the road than American manufacturers and is adding to the offer in 2020 with the GLB, a pretty little SUV that slips, you guessed it, between the GLA and the GLC. It's actually 10 cm longer than the old B-Class model, which it replaces in a more modern and technologically up-to-date presentation.

You have the MBUX system previously presented in the A-Class with the optional voice assistant. You even have three rows of seats in a fairly compact format, so you can help ferry around your children's friends from time to time. The engine is a, 2.0-litre, 4-cylinder turbo unit (221-hp, 258 lb-ft of torque) working with an 8-speed transmission and 4Matic all-wheel drive that includes Eco, Comfort, Sport and Individual modes.

This model undoubtedly has a brighter future than the B-Class, which suffered from a near-total lack of charisma.
