The Mercedes-Benz GLB was first unveiled in 2019 as a compact SUV sitting between the GLA and GLC. It was designed with more interior space than the smaller GLA, including the option of seven seats, which set it apart in the premium small SUV market. In some regions, the model has also been marketed simply as the GLB-Class.
The GLB quickly gained attention for combining compact dimensions with family friendly practicality. Mercedes-Benz updated the range in 2023 with revised styling, a new infotainment system and improved driver-assistance features. Plug-in hybrid options became available in overseas markets, although Australia continued with petrol variants only.
Today, the 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLB remains a key part of the brand’s SUV line-up. It offers a versatile entry point for buyers who want premium features without moving to the larger GLC. The GLB’s mix of compact proportions and optional third-row seating gives it a distinct role.
The line-up currently starts at $67,600 for the GLB-Class Glb200 (base) and ranges through to $85,800 for the range-topping GLB-Class Glb250 4Matic.
The Mercedes-AMG GLB35 is available with several genuine accessories, including body protection, alloy wheels, roof-mounted carriers, entertainment systems and floor mats, among others.
The Mercedes-Benz GLB-Class follows the A-Class's lead, with a pair of neat display screens that are integral to its dashboard and interior design.
The space is very good for a compact car, but it's the trim, the leather finishes and the overall ambience that will impress you more - just check out the images to see what we're talking about.
The Mercedes-AMG GLB35 has seven seats across three rows, with the second row accomodating three passengers, while the third row can seat two occupants.
Five top-tether and four ISOFIX anchorage points are available across the middle and rear pews for fitting child seats.
The second row splits 40/20/40, while the third row does so 50/50. Both are manually operated.
Of note, the front seats are of the comfort sports variety, although they're not super supportive.
The Mercedes-AMG GLB35 can sprint from 0-100km/h in just 5.2 seconds with launch control enabled, while its electronically limited top speed is 250km/h.
