2024 Mercedes-Benz GLB-Class SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLB is a five-seat small luxury SUV. An optional third-row seat adds capacity for two more child-size passengers, ideally only for short trips.

Three versions of the 2024 Mercedes GLB are available: GLB 250, GLB 250 4Matic and AMG GLB 35. A turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (221 horsepower, 258 lb-ft of torque) assisted by a mild hybrid system powers the GLB 250 and GLB 250 4Matic. Both trims use an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The GLB 250 routes torque to the front wheels while the GLB 250 4Matic uses an all-wheel-drive system. The AMG GLB 35 has a high-performance version of the GLB 250 4Matic's drivetrain (302 hp, 295 lb-ft of torque).

Standard equipment highlights are as follows:

Which GLB-Class trim does Edmunds recommend?

If you need all-wheel drive, the GLB 250 4Matic is the best choice. If not, the GLB 250 offers identical standard equipment without all-wheel drive. The high-performance AMG GLB 35 offers a level of performance most buyers won't need. And it costs significantly more.
