New 2026 Mercedes-Benz GLB Unveiled: Design and Features
Mercedes has unveiled the completely renewed 2026 GLB. Launching initially as exclusively electric, the model stands out with a range of up to 630 km, a modern design, and an advanced digital cockpit.
Mercedes has showcased the fully redesigned 2026 GLB. Retaining the silhouette of the first generation, the new model comes with both 5-seater and 7-seater options. Like other models, the new GLB will initially be offered only as electric. The hybrid option will go on sale in the coming period.
What does the 2026 Mercedes GLB offer in terms of features? Mercedes announced two different versions for the electric GLB. The entry-level GLB 250+ EQ Technology comes with an 85 kWh battery pack and 800V architecture. The rear-positioned electric motor produces 268 hp and 335 Nm of torque. The model, which accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 7.4 seconds, offers a range of 630 km on a single charge.
The family’s more powerful option, the GLB 350 4Matic EQ Technology, uses the same 85 kWh battery but features an additional electric motor on the front axle. This version has a total system power of 349 hp and 515 Nm of torque. Completing the 0-100 km/h sprint in 5.5 seconds, the four-wheel drive model promises a range of 615 km.
Mercedes also announced that it will offer a more affordable entry-level electric GLB version next year, followed by hybrid versions with 48V technology in different power levels with front or all-wheel drive. The new GLB features a more modern front face, following the footsteps of models like the CLA and GLC. The large grille, star-patterned daytime LEDs, and headlight design combined with light strips give the model a characteristic look. At the rear, vertical taillights inspired by the Vision EQXX concept and the light strips connecting them draw attention.
On the cockpit side, it is possible to see Mercedes’ recent design line. The model can be equipped with the Mercedes Superscreen as an option. This giant screen layout consists of a 10.25-inch digital instrument panel, a 14-inch central infotainment screen, and a 14-inch third screen on the passenger side. The minimalist cockpit with an almost completely flat body reflects the brand’s new interior approach.
The 2026 Mercedes GLB makes a more ambitious entry into the electric compact SUV market, while it will further expand its product range with hybrid options coming in the future.
