2021 Mercedes-Benz GLB SUV
Overview
The Mercedes-Benz GLB is definitely the Goldilocks of SUVs. With seating for up to seven, there’s plenty of space for you and your passengers. However, that space doesn’t translate to a mammoth vehicle. The GLB’s compact size makes it handle like a sports sedan and simplifies navigating busy city streets. Thanks to the powerful but efficient powertrain, drivers will enjoy the journey and the modest fuel consumption. Mercedes-Benz has really hit a sweet spot with this SUV.
The Perfect Ride For...
If you’re looking for a spacious, luxurious experience in a compact SUV, the GLB is for you. With plenty of legroom in all three rows, you and your passengers will be able to relax. While standard seating is for five, there’s an option to add two more for a total of seven passengers. No one is getting left behind in 2021. You’ll also have 62 cubic feet of cargo space in the Mercedes-Benz GLB. Fold the 2nd seats down and enjoy seemingly endless room for all your luggage and then some. Just because you can fit a lot inside of the GLB doesn’t mean it’s an enormous full-size SUV. It still falls into the compact SUV category, making it manageable in a variety of situations.
Drive & Handling
Most SUVs are gas-chugging machines with gargantuan carbon footprints, but not the 2021 GLB. This SUV features the latest performance technology from Mercedes-Benz, so you get the best of both worlds. Powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, the GLB is no slouch. With 221 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, this SUV has snappy acceleration and rewarding power. But you won’t be paying for that fun at the pump, thanks to an EPA-estimated 23 miles per gallon in the city and 30 miles per gallon on the highway.*
