Mercedes-Benz GLB
While it used to share many components with the recently discontinued, fully electric EQB, the GLB now stands in a class of its own within the Mercedes-Benz lineup. This also means there are no longer any electrified options in the small SUV segment for 2026. And with the elimination of the sporty GLB AMG model, only one trim level remains available: the one equipped with a 221-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder engine.
