Why buy an Approved Used Mercedes-Benz GLB?
Unveiled in 2019, the Mercedes-Benz GLB sits between the smaller GLA SUV and larger GLC SUV, but the GLB does something its two siblings cannot, by offering seven seats.
The GLB is available with petrol and diesel engines, with the petrol options all coming with electrified mild-hybrid powertrains, all of which provide excellent real-world economy and performance.
Petrol units range from 134bhp to 221bhp and return around 40mpg, whilst the diesel units produce between 114bhp and 187bhp and return around 48mpg. For those who want enhanced performance with their GLB, there is the AMG GLB 35 4MATIC with an impressive 302bhp and a 0 to 62mph time of 5.2 seconds. It will also return around 31mpg.
Running costs are reasonable for this premium, practical SUV with insurance groups falling between 24 and 32 (50 is the highest), whilst even the AMG version only takes it up to group 38. Servicing will mirror premium vehicles of this nature, and they can be taken care of by any Stratstone Mercedes-Benz retailer.
Practicality is excellent, with seven seats as standard. A 570-litre boot is accessible in five-seat mode, with space for a couple of overnight bags when seven seats are in use.
If you are in the market for a practical yet somewhat compact SUV that offers seven seats, then the GLB is a fine, practical, and refined SUV with a premium Mercedes-Benz textbook presentation.
The Audi Q5 is the equivalent model to the Mercedes-Benz GLB, but it does not offer seven seats; you have to go up to the larger Audi Q7 for that.
'GL' comes from the German word Geländewagen, which means 'off-road vehicle', whilst the B determines where it sits in the SUV range, being smaller than the GLC but bigger than the GLA.
Some models of the GLB are all-wheel drive, while others offer two-wheel drive. Look out for models with 4MATIC, as this determines their all-wheel drive capability.
