Mercedes-Benz GLB
Introduced back in 2020, the Mercedes-Benz GLB returns for 2023 with no significant changes—unless you count the addition of the all-electric EQB, of course. Model selection includes the 250 4MATIC and AMG 35 4MATIC. A turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine motivates both, supplying either 221 horsepower or 302 horsepower. Despite being a sub-compact SUV, the GLB can be specified with three-row seating, which means it accommodates up to seven people.
