Mercedes-Benz Malaysia expands its compact SUV lineup in Malaysia with the introduction of the new GLB variants. The GLB 200 and GLB 250 4MATIC seamlessly blend impressive functionality with luxurious comfort for those seeking versatility and ample space for passengers and cargo.

Its spacious interior can host up to seven individuals, and with a boot capacity of 1,805 liters. Whether you’re navigating city streets or embarking on a road trip, the Mercedes-Benz GLB is designed to exceed your expectations, offering connectivity, adjustable seating, and unmatched versatility for every journey.”

The new GLB boasts a refreshed exterior that immediately grabs attention. A redesigned front bumper with a hint of ruggedness hints at the GLB’s off-road prowess. The radiator grille differentiates the two variants – the GLB 200 features four horizontal louvres, while the GLB 250 4MATIC sports a single louvre with chrome accents, adding a touch of elegance. Both models share a revised front apron that enhances their overall visual appeal. Striking full-LED headlights and taillights elevate the exterior design and provide excellent nighttime visibility.

Drivers seeking a sportier look can opt for the Night Package. This package adds a touch of drama with high-gloss black elements adorning various exterior components, including the radiator grille, roof rails, and window line trim. Exclusively for the GLB 250 4MATIC with the Night Package, an AMG front apron with a front splitter and AMG rear apron with visible tailpipe trim in high-gloss black further accentuates its sporty character.

Step inside the GLB, and you’ll be greeted by a spacious and versatile interior that comfortably seats up to seven passengers. A true highlight is the new freestanding dual-screen setup featuring impressive 10.25-inch displays for both the instrument cluster and the multimedia system. The latest MBUX infotainment system seamlessly integrates with your digital life, offering wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity for on-the-go convenience. Hard-disc navigation is also available as an option for those who prefer a dedicated navigation system.

The GLB’s interior design masterfully blends modern aesthetics with everyday practicality. Turbine-look air vents create a touch of sporty elegance, contrasting beautifully with the straight-lined, off-road inspired aluminum elements. Both variants come equipped with new multifunction sports steering wheels, wrapped in leather for the GLB 200 and Nappa leather for the GLB 250 4MATIC, providing a luxurious feel and enhanced driving control.

Comfort takes center stage with seats upholstered in ARTICO man-made leather. The GLB 200 features a stylish Star-pattern trim, while the GLB 250 4MATIC boasts a Star Pattern backlit trim that interacts with the ambient lighting system, creating a personalized and visually captivating ambiance.

Mercedes-Benz prioritizes safety in every vehicle they produce, and the new GLB is no exception. It comes equipped with a comprehensive suite of driver-assistance features, including Blind Spot Assist, Exit Warning Assist, Active Brake Assist, and a Parking Package with reverse camera, for a confident and stress-free driving experience.

The GLB 250 4MATIC takes performance to the next level with a sophisticated 4MATIC all-wheel-drive system that ensures optimal traction and control in various driving conditions. This powerful variant also boasts a 48-volt electrical system with a belt-driven starter generator. This innovative system provides an additional 10 kW of power, delivering agile starting and quicker acceleration. The starter-generator also enhances comfort by enabling smooth engine starts and stops, as well as coasting with the engine off for improved fuel efficiency. Additionally, it recuperates energy during braking and acceleration, recharging the 12-volt on-board network and the 48-volt battery for a more sustainable driving experience.

The new Mercedes-Benz GLB variants are now available at Mercedes-Benz Malaysia dealerships. The Mercedes-Benz GLB 200 is priced at RM290,888 (on-the-road without insurance, with 10% Sales Tax for Peninsular Malaysia).
