The 2026 Mercedes-Benz GLB is a sophisticated compact luxury SUV that is heavily applauded for its combination of performance, comfort, and safety. It is part of the second generation which debuted in 2020. Underneath the hood, the GLB offers two engine options: a 221-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-4 for the GLB 250 models, and a 302-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-4 for the AMG GLB 35. Both models are paired to an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard but Mercedes' 4MATIC all-wheel drive is available as an option. Inside, the GLB impresses with a stunningly advanced cabin highlighting a standard 7-inch or optional 10.25-inch infotainment system that includes Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and optional navigation. Safety features are aplenty, featuring the latest driver-assistance technologies like automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, and adaptive cruise control.
