Powerful proportions with short overhangs and off-road-oriented design as well as optional 4MATIC all-wheel drive and a special off-road light which helps detect obstacles immediately in front of the vehicle at low speeds – the new Mercedes-Benz GLB is a versatile SUV.
The newest SUV from Mercedes-AMG offers the best of every world. With a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that offers 302 horsepower, plus an AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT 8-speed transmission and AMG Performance 4MATIC all-wheel drive, the GLB 35 provides a driving experience unlike any SUV in its segment.
The engine is paired with an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and either front- or all-wheel drive. At our test track, an all-wheel drive example managed a fairly brisk 6.0-second zero-to-60-mph time. We didn't find the GLB250 to be particularly sporty, but for an SUV its ride and handling is agreeable and competent.
The GLB benefits from Mercedes-Benz's latest MBUX infotainment system, offers a digital instrument cluster that's integrated with the infotainment screen, and can be optioned with all manner of comfort and convenience items. Still, it doesn't project the same level of luxury as Mercedes's larger models, such as the GLC-class and GLE-class SUVs.
