The newly proposed model is now bigger, with the new dimensions being 98mm longer and 27mm wider than its previous iterations. The cabin is also slightly bigger with a 60mm larger wheelbase.
Mercedes-Benz New GLB SUV: What’s New?
A great new feature for all GLB variants is that they all will have 4Matic all-wheel drive, and each of them will have either five or seven seats. The boot space of the car is 540 litres for the smaller 5-seater models, and the larger 7-seater models have 480 litres of cargo space. The electric models have a 127-litre storage tub under the bonnet.
In terms of styling, star motifs are used with new signature LED lights in the front and rear of the car. The front also gets a bonnet-wide LED ‘monobrow’. The panoramic roof is standard across options, with an optional variable-opacity function available as an add-on. It allows you to control the amount of light that enters the cabin. Lastly, there are 158 Mercedes-Benz stars incorporated into the roof’s design.
Mercedes-Benz New GLB SUV Powertrain Highlights
The Mercedes-Benz New GLB SUV is powered by a 1.5-litre four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine (M252). To make it a hybrid, the engine is paired with a 48-volt hybrid system with a 1.3 kWh battery pack. The engine overall is paired with an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission that incorporates the 22kW electric motor.
