About the 2023 Mercedes-Benz AMG GLB
1st generation, final year before the 2024 mid-cycle refresh
The AMG GLB is the performance-focused version of Mercedes-Benz’s boxy compact luxury SUV. Its core appeal is combining strong acceleration and sharper handling with an upright cabin and useful passenger and cargo space. Compared with lower-output GLB models, it adds AMG-tuned power, AWD, suspension, brakes, exhaust, and drive settings while preserving the practical shape that makes the GLB easier to use every day than many sporty compact SUVs.
Mercedes-AMG positioned the GLB 35 as a small performance SUV that balances quick responses with useful rear-seat and cargo space. Its defining features include a 302-hp turbocharged four-cylinder engine, quick-shifting eight-speed automatic transmission, active AWD, adjustable sport suspension, stronger brakes, and two 10.25-inch displays with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
