2025 Mercedes-Benz GLB: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLB is largely unchanged after the 2024 refresh. The main change is that navigation moves from standard equipment to an optional feature.
About the 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLB
1st generation GLB (X247, 2020-2026 in the U.S.), post-refresh year following the 2024 update.
Mercedes-Benz positions the GLB as the practical, boxy small SUV in its lineup: upright styling, flexible interior packaging, and family-friendly usefulness in a compact footprint. Its biggest differentiator is space efficiency, including the possibility of seating up to seven, plus a more SUV-like shape than sleeker small luxury rivals. The GLB is less about sporty flair than everyday versatility, cargo room, visibility, and easy access wrapped in Mercedes tech and design.
The GLB 250 is the practical entry point, pairing a flexible, upscale cabin with a 221-hp turbo four-cylinder engine, dual 10.25-inch displays, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The GLB 250 4MATIC adds all-wheel drive for better traction in poor weather, while both versions have LED lighting and a power liftgate.

2025 Mercedes-Benz GLB
(12 reviews)
“It's a wonderful compact SUV. There is a little lag on the initial stopped acceleration; the interface with touchscreen is a little unintuitive; the cabin has a bit more engine/road noise than I'd expect... but I fully recommend this vehicle, it's build & engineering, and the Brand's customer service.”
“it's an excellent comfortable riding vehicle with great features for its price point.”
