Mercedes unveils its new all-electric GLB in a walkaround video | India Launch Soon

Mercedes has revealed its all-electric GLB series and has started a unique segment in the market of relatively compact 7-seater luxury SUVs and currently no direct rivals, except for the Land Rover Discovery Sport, which is a segment above the GLB is positioned. 

However, Mercedes will be launching only the ICE models in India and is underpinned on the brand’s latest ‘MMA’ architecture which is also used by new-gen Mercedes Benz CLA. 

Mercedes Benz Electric GLB Design

Mercedes has released a walkaround describing the design and features of the GLB. Visually, the electric GLB has a visual appeal and the standout highlight is the front grille including a black panel and is integrated with 94 animated LED stars. 

The vehicle has also grown up in dimensions as it gets a longer wheelbase and more upright nose. There is also an addition of rugged wheel cladding and comes with visual underride protection, giving it an overall sporty yet rugged stance. 

Loads of Practicality!

Mercedes has prioritised space while designing the all-new GLB and is clearly evident as it can be easily customisable as a five-seater or seven-seater depending on which seating arrangement you choose. There is also a 540 litres of substantial boot space and an additional 127-litres of frunk (front trunk) space in the front, as the company has smartly utilised engine space to provide a usable storage space for the users. 

Mercedes Benz Electric GLB Features & Powertrains

On the inside, the new GLB gives a lounge type seating experience. The most important highlight of the interior is the Sky Control Panoramic Roof which features 158 illuminated stars that gives a feeling of planetarium. The shading is also customisable and users have the option to change the ambient lighting in 11 different styles. 

Other features include an imposing MBUX Super Screen, heated seats, and navigation integrated with Google Maps. The new GLB will be providing a class leading 631 Km of range on a single charge and also supports DC fast charging by adding 260 Km of range in just 10 minutes. 

Thus the new GLB is a perfect combination of bold looks and big space coupled with electric performance.
