With styling inspired by the G-Class, and the FWD/AWD platform of the A-Class, the new Mercedes-Benz GLB will be a new crossover to fit in under the GLC.
Last generation saw the launch of the GLA, but that was nothing more than a lifted hatchback. The new 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLB will be styled and have functionality more like a real offroader.
While it shares the MFA2 platform with the latest A-Class, B-Class and CLA, it has a wheelbase that’s 40mm (1.6″) longer than the long wheelbase A-Class sedan sold in China.
In fact, the GLB Concept is only 22mm (0.9″) shorter overall, and has a 44mm (1.7″) shorter wheelbase than the RWD/AWD GLC.
The GLB Concept has 17″ wheels with offroad tires, black roof rails, a roof box, adjustable middle row seats, and three rows of seats (up to 7 people).
The GLB Concept is powered by the M260 I4 turbo engine with 165kW (224hp) and 350Nm (258 lb-ft), an 8-speed DCT, and AWD.
