About the Mercedes-Benz GLB X247
The Mercedes-Benz GLB (X247) was introduced in 2019 to bridge the gap between the GLA and GLC, uniquely offering a seven-seat configuration in a compact footprint. The GLB 200 trim features a 1.3-litre M282 engine developed in collaboration with Renault-Nissan, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. Its upright, boxy design is a deliberate nod to the G-Class, providing significantly more headroom and cargo versatility than its platform-mate, the GLA. While the front-wheel-drive GLB 200 prioritises efficiency and urban utility, the AMG Line adds sportier styling cues including 19-inch wheels and a more aggressive body kit.
