Find your perfect Mercedes-Benz today.
This compact SUV makes a striking statement on the road, from its unique headlight design to its distinctive silhouette that conveys superior sportiness and modernity. The Mercedes-Benz GLB boasts sports-utility detailing, including cladding, roof rails and simulated underride guard and features a dynamic rear-end design – all of which are evidence of its off-road genes.
The interior of the GLB is elegant with distinctive SUV design elements; eye-catching features include a digital touchscreen (size depending on spec), ambient lighting and premium upholstery and trim. Interior space within the GLB is versatile, as seating and luggage space configurations are designed to adapt to the driver’s needs. The second seat row with optional sliding adjustment lets the driver use the interior space in a way that suits and, with optional third-row seating (which can accommodate people up to 5ft 6in tall), the GLB provides room for up to seven people.
At 2,829 millimetres, the GLB has the longest wheelbase of the current compact-class generation from Mercedes-Benz. There’s a generous amount of space inside, with the headroom in the first seat row at 1,069 millimetres. At 967 millimetres, the effective legroom in the second seat row is at a comfortable level and the boot capacity of 570 litres can be extended to an enormous 1,805 when the rear seats are folded forward.
Easy to use, the Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) multimedia system can be adapted in a way that suits. The driver can input via touchscreen, control buttons on the steering wheel, the centre-console mounted touchscreen or the ‘Hey, Mercedes’ voice control. The driver can also adjust elements such as the display style, air conditioning, drive programs and preferred radio station to pre-configured personal settings.
The GLB safety systems ensure confident driving on any terrain, including comfort suspension and Dynamic Select, which offers different drive programs with setting options for the engine, transmission, chassis and steering – from Sport to Eco. Active Lane Keeping Assist is also available as standard, warning the driver with a vibration on the steering wheel if they veer out of lane, or intervening further with unilateral braking if the next lane is occupied
The GLB will appeal to all those SUV customers who need more seating and load capacity than the GLA can provide, but who don’t need or want to venture up to GLC territory. The GLB looks the part, can accommodate up to seven and five in comfort for long journeys without being too big to park or too thirsty at the fuel pumps. We predict a warm welcome for this latest arrival in the Mercedes-Benz SUV range, so get in touch with our sales teams to be one of the first to try it out.
