Key Features of the 2026 Mercedes-Benz GLB

MBUX with Dual 10.25-inch Displays

Two vivid 10.25-inch screens anchor a cockpit that is both approachable and advanced. The reconfigurable driver display lets you prioritize key information—navigation, performance, or classic gauges—while the central touchscreen provides quick access to climate, media, and vehicle settings. With the Mercedes-Benz User Experience, simply say “Hey, Mercedes” and speak naturally: “I need a coffee” or “It’s cold in here.” MBUX responds with helpful prompts, including the available MB Navigation. Multiple touch interfaces, steering wheel controls, and a touchpad ensure your inputs are always within reach. Standard wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto keep your smartphone essentials visible and voice-accessible, while available wireless charging reduces cable clutter and helps keep your devices ready to go. The result is a clean, modern interface that supports your drive instead of distracting from it.

2.0L Inline-4 Turbo with Mild Hybrid Drive

The 2.0L inline-4 turbo is tuned for real-world responsiveness, delivering 221 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque across a wide band for confident acceleration and passing. New mild hybrid technology can provide an electric boost of up to 13 hp to help smooth takeoffs and fill in the torque curve, so the GLB feels eager without effort. Paired with a smart, quick-shifting 8-speed dual-clutch transmission, power flows naturally whether you leave it in automatic or use the steering-mounted paddles for more control. The payoff is a composed, refined drive that stays calm in daily traffic but comes alive when you ask for it, all while helping optimize efficiency and comfort mile after mile.

Available 4MATIC® All-Wheel Drive and DYNAMIC SELECT

Available 4MATIC® all-wheel drive actively varies torque between the front and rear axles to enhance stability and traction on changing surfaces. When the weather turns or a gravel lane beckons, the system’s rugged engineering includes a loose-surface mode, Downhill Speed Regulation, and an off-road graphic display to deepen your confidence. With DYNAMIC SELECT, the GLB’s character can be tailored to the moment—Comfort for everyday ease, Sport for sharper throttle and shift mapping, Eco for long-haul efficiency, and customizable settings to make it truly yours. Together, 4MATIC® and DYNAMIC SELECT deliver poised control and adaptable personality that help the GLB feel ready for whatever the day brings.

Flexible Cabin with Available 3rd-Row Seating

Compact on the outside yet generous within, the GLB’s upright proportions maximize space for people and cargo. The second row slides and reclines for comfort, or folds in a 40/20/40 split to balance passengers and gear. The available EASY-ENTRY feature widens access to an optional 50/50-split 3rd row, so you can bring up to six friends or family along. When you need serious space for supplies, sports equipment, or a weekend’s worth of luggage, fold the rear rows to unlock expansive cargo capacity—up to 62 cu ft with all rear seats down. From school pickups to home improvement runs, the GLB’s flexible interior makes quick work of life’s logistics without losing its premium polish.

Advanced Driver Assistance with DISTRONIC®

Safety innovations help the GLB watch the road with you. Standard Blind Spot Assist adds an extra set of “virtual eyes,” and includes a feature that can help make exiting the vehicle safer for your passengers. Available DISTRONIC® adaptive cruise control supports stop-and-go driving by helping to maintain set following distances and can even slow for certain offramps. These systems work alongside an array of passive and active technologies designed to protect, alert, and assist, providing welcome reassurance for busy commutes, school zones, and weekend traffic alike. When combined with the GLB’s clear sightlines and confident chassis, these driver assists contribute to a calm, secure driving environment that reinforces why Mercedes-Benz is synonymous with thoughtful engineering.
