The Car Guide rating 3.0/5 60% Detailed ratings

Price $54,900 – $68,605 Payments

Fuel consumption 7.4 – 11.5 L/100km

The GLB rides on the same platform as the smaller GLA, but a 10 cm longer wheelbase means it can accommodate up to seven people—as long as those sitting in the third row are children. Similar to the GLA, it gets fresh styling and updated content for 2024, including a 10.25-inch centre touchscreen. Both the GLB 250 4Matic and AMG GLB 35 4Matic benefit from mild hybrid technology. There is no AMG 45 model.
