About the 2026 Mercedes-Benz AMG GLB
1st generation (2020-2026 GLB), post-2024 refresh, final year before the redesigned 2027 GLB
Mercedes-Benz presents the AMG GLB as a compact performance SUV that combines sports-car-inspired responses with the GLB’s upright, space-efficient body. Its main appeal is the mix of strong turbo power, traction-focused AWD, adaptive suspension, upgraded braking, flexible rear seating, and useful cargo room. It targets drivers who want an engaging small SUV without giving up everyday passenger and luggage practicality.
The GLB 35 remains the performance-focused version of Mercedes-Benz’s upright compact SUV, pairing practical cabin and cargo space with sharper acceleration, cornering, and braking. It has a 302-hp turbo engine, performance-tuned AWD, adaptive suspension, upgraded brakes, dual 10.25-inch displays, Burmester surround sound, and a panoramic glass roof.
