Review and specifications
2027 Mercedes-Benz GLB
The redesigned GLB launches with an electric version and will be joined by a hybrid during 2027. Offered as a five- and seven-seater, this smooth-bodied SUV is incrementally larger than before, gaining slightly in length and width. The 2027 GLB is available in two electric versions: the GLB 250+ with EQ Technology and the GLB 350 4MATIC with EQ Technology. They share an 85-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery and 800-volt electric architecture that allows rapid recharging from DC fast chargers. Both the electric and hybrid powertrains are shared with the redesigned 2026 CLA. The new GLB will be available with all-wheel drive. Like some other Mercedes models, the GLB interior features a 'Superscreen' that spans the dash with a 10.25-inch instrument panel, 14-inch center display, and 14-inch front passenger display.

Brand context
About Mercedes-Benz
Most Mercedes-Benzes give their owners industry-leading comfort and technology. The cost of that experience is an expensive base price with expensive options and below-average reliability. The brand produces a wide variety of vehicles for the U.S., including coupes, station wagons, sedans, convertibles, and even two-seat sports cars. Its two- and three-row SUVs that we’ve tested have powerful engines and interiors that are roomy and quiet. Generally, Mercedes-Benz fit and finish, inside and out, is exceptional and helps justify prices. Mercedes-Benz’s EVs range from compact to large three-row SUVs. Across the lineup, controls for the complex climate and infotainment systems aren’t as intuitive as we find in other luxury vehicles. Like most European luxury brands, used Mercedes-Benzes can have expensive out-of-warranty repairs, although Consumer Reports has found used models with above-average reliability.
