Mercedes-Benz GLB
As if there existed a space between the GLA and the GLC, the GLB arrives for the 2020 model year with an in-between format and even the option of adding a third-row seat for a capacity of up to seven passengers. Aside from the base powerplant, an AMG GLB 35 will eventually be introduced as well, flaunting a sportier character and 302 horsepower on tap. The GLB boasts an upscale cockpit, an MBUX infotainment system and a generous cargo capacity of 1,755 litres.
