Interior

The spacious interior of the GLB combines high everyday practicality and variability with a modern high-tech ambience. It can accommodate up to 7 vehicle occupants in the compact SUV. One of the highlights of the significantly upgraded interior is the freestanding double screen. The GLB comes with 10.25-inch wide-screen displays for the respective instrument cluster and multimedia screens. With the latest generation of MBUX infotainment system, drivers can conveniently access Apple CarPlay and Android Auto wirelessly. Hard-disc navigation is available via the Mercedes me store.

The round air vents in turbine look convey sporty elegance and contrast with the straight-lined, off-road-typical interior elements in aluminium. The new multifunction sports steering wheel is upholstered in leather on the GLB 200 and Nappa leather on the GLB 250 4MATIC. For further connectivity, the GLB now has an additional USB-C port and increased USB charging power while all USB ports are illuminated.

The new GLB is equipped with comfort seats, which are upholstered in ARTICO man-made leather on the GLB 200 and ARTICO man-made leather / MICROCUT microfibre on the GLB 250 4MATIC. The GLB 200 comes with a Star-pattern trim and the GLB 250 4MATIC has a Star Pattern backlit trim which interacts with the ambient lighting. The Mercedes-Benz pattern shines in the instrument panel in the passenger’s colour of choice. The translucent, filigree-patterned surface creates a unique effect, particularly at night. The GLB also comes with Ambient lighting with 64 colours and THERMOTRONIC automatic climate control.

In terms of safety, the GLB is well equipped with Blind Spot Assist, Exit Warning Assist, Active Brake Assist, and Parking Package with reverse camera. KEYLESS-GO Comfort package, EASY-PACK tailgate, and GUARD 360° Vehicle protection are also included.

Exclusive to the GLB 250 is the 4MATIC all-wheel drive and an additional 48-volt electrical system for the belt-driven starter generator. Its briefly available additional power of 10 kW supports agile starting and is used for faster acceleration via boost. The starter-generator also increases comfort: in addition to low-vibration and low-noise engine starting, it enables coasting with the combustion engine switched off. In addition, it recuperates during braking and acceleration – and in this way supplies the 12-volt on-board network and the 48-volt battery with electrical energy.
