About the 2025 Mercedes-Benz AMG GLB
1st generation (2020-2026), second model year after the 2024 mid-cycle refresh
The Mercedes-AMG GLB is a compact performance SUV that combines an upright, space-efficient body with stronger acceleration and sharper handling than the regular GLB. Its main distinction is versatility: it supplies useful passenger and cargo room while adding AMG-tuned power, AWD, adaptive suspension, and upgraded brakes. It suits drivers who need everyday SUV practicality but want a more energetic driving experience than most small luxury SUVs provide.
The AMG GLB 35 is the performance-focused GLB, pairing a practical, upright cabin with a 302-hp turbocharged four-cylinder engine, performance-tuned AWD, adaptive suspension, and upgraded brakes. It also has heated sport front seats, dual 10.25-inch displays, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
