The all-new Mercedes-Benz GLB is definitely the Goldilocks of SUVs. With seating for up to seven, there’s plenty of space for you and your passengers. However, that space doesn’t translate to a mammoth vehicle. The GLB’s compact size makes it handle like a sports sedan and simplifies navigating busy city streets. Thanks to the powerful but efficient powertrain, drivers will enjoy the journey and the modest fuel consumption. Mercedes-Benz has really hit a sweet spot with this all-new SUV and Sears Imported Autos wants to highlight the top four features that make this model a star in the 2020 Mercedes-Benz lineup.
Space
If you’re looking for a spacious, luxurious experience in a compact SUV, the new GLB is for you. With plenty of legroom in all three rows, you and your passengers will be able to relax. While standard seating is for five, there’s an option to add two more for a total of seven passengers. No one is getting left behind in 2020. You’ll also have 62 cubic feet of cargo space in the Mercedes-Benz GLB. Fold the 2nd seats down and enjoy seemingly endless room for all your luggage and then some. Just because you can fit a lot inside of the GLB doesn’t mean it’s an enormous full-size SUV. It still falls into the compact SUV category, making it manageable in a variety of situations.
Powerful Efficiency
Most SUVs are gas-chugging machines with gargantuan carbon footprints, but not the 2020 GLB. This SUV features the latest performance technology from Mercedes-Benz, so you get the best of both worlds. Powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, the GLB is no slouch. With 221 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, this SUV has snappy acceleration and rewarding power. But you won’t be paying for that fun at the pump, thanks to an EPA-estimated 23 miles per gallon in the city and 30 miles per gallon on the highway.*
Safety
Mercedes-Benz has been spearheading the push to autonomous features and safer driving, so it only makes sense that they’d equip the new 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLB with tons of standard safety features to protect your family on the road. You’ll find Active Brake Assist, ATTENTION ASSIST, Crosswind Assist, Adaptive braking technology, Electronic Stability Program (ESP), Rain-sensing windshield wipers, and an Electric Traction System. If you’re craving even more safety features, available options like Speed Limit Assist, Blind Spot Assist, Active Parking Assist, Active Emergency Stop Assist, Active Lane Keeping Assist, PRE-SAFE PLUS<, and a Surround View System to give you total confidence while you travel.
Technology
A modern SUV from one of the most advanced luxury brands wouldn’t be complete without some of the most remarkable technology features in the automotive industry. You’ll find a seamless infotainment experience thanks to the Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX). Whether you want to use natural language voice control, the 7-inch touchscreen display, touchpad controller, or steering wheel Touch Control buttons, finding directions to a new restaurant or sending a text message is easy. Connect to your smartphone with standard Apple CarPlay™, Android Auto™, Bluetooth®, and four USB-C ports. The Mercedes me Mobile App gives you control over your vehicle even when you’re away from it. Remote start, vehicle status, vehicle tracker, live traffic information, predictive navigation, and parking points of interest are just a few features you’ll enjoy with the 3 years of Mercedes me connect services that are included when you purchase a new GLB.
