The 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLB is a luxury subcompact SUV that competently balances comfort, technology, and performance. It's offered in three variants - GLB 250, GLB 250 4MATIC, and the performance-oriented AMG GLB 35. The first two employ a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine generating 221 horsepower, while the AMG derivative gets a boosted version of this engine pushing out 302 horsepower. All versions feature an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The GLB 250 has front-wheel drive as standard, with all-wheel-drive as an option, and the AMG GLB 35 is AWD only. Featuring a seven-inch or optional 10.25-inch touchscreen for infotainment with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, the GLB also scores well in safety with a five-star rating from the NHTSA and a Top Safety Pick award from the IIHS. Notable updates for the 2023 model year include the introduction of the AMG GLB 35 model to the range.
