Exterior
The redesigned front bumper with visual underbody protection points to its off-road genes. The SUV radiator grille with four horizontal louvres on the GLB 200 underlines this impression. The GLB 250 4MATIC sports a radiator grille with single louvres and chrome inserts. The GLB also features a revised front apron with geometry design. The athletic shoulder shape, with coherently modelled side graphics, creates an interesting interplay of light and shadow and a visually width-accentuated rear end. The GLB 200 has a Progressive Line exterior whereas the GLB 250 4MATIC has an AMG Line exterior.
With Night Package equipped, various trim parts are finished in high-gloss black, such as the louvres of the radiator shell, the trim elements on the front and rear apron, the roof railing, exterior mirror housing, beltline and window line trim strip, and simulated underguard at the front and rear. Exclusive to the GLB 250 4MATIC are the AMG front apron with front splitter and AMG rear apron visible tailpipe trim in high-gloss black.
New striking full-LED headlights and rear lights enhance the appearance, with the range of options now expanded with a new Spectral Blue Metallic paint colour. The LED High Performance headlamps feature Adaptive Highbeam Assist which automatically switches on the high beams if it does not detect any illuminated vehicles ahead or in oncoming traffic. The new GLB 200 is fitted with 18-inch 5-twin-spoke light-alloy wheels and the GLB 250 4MATIC has 19-inch AMG 5-twin-spoke light-alloy wheels.

Mercedes-AMG GLB 35 4MATIC
The Mercedes-AMG GLB 35 4MATIC is fitted with the belt-driven starter generator (RSG) and an additional 48-volt on-board power supply. The second-generation RSG functions as a mild hybrid. In addition to the temporary power boost of 10 kW (14 PS), it permits such functions as coasting and recuperation for greater efficiency. The 48-volt technology also improves comfort, with the transitions of the start/stop and coasting function barely noticeable. The 225 kW (306hp) output of the agile, high-torque 2.0 liter 4-cylinder turbo engine is distributed to all four wheels via the AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT 8G transmission and the AMG Performance 4MATIC all-wheel drive. The sporty driving performance is combined with a wide range of driving experience modes, from highly dynamic to smooth touring. This performance vehicle is able to achieve an acceleration of 0 to 100 km/h in 5.5 seconds and a top speed of 250 km/h.
The newly styled front apron with Mercedes-AMG logo and the light signatures at the front and rear make a strong visual statement. The MULTIBEAM LED headlights with Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus and LED rear lights increase visibility especially at night. 20-inch AMG 5-twin-spoke light-alloy wheels painted in matt black with high-sheen finish paired with red-painted brake callipers enhance the exterior look.
The AMG GLB 35 4MATIC is equipped with sports seats upholstered in ARTICO man-made leather / MICROCUT microfibre and the Star Pattern backlit trim interacts with the ambient lighting.
