The Mercedes-Benz GLB-Class is a compact luxury SUV with a practical seven-seat layout, giving it a more family-focused brief than many premium SUVs of similar size. The new-generation range is now available in Australian showrooms, with pricing from $65,400 before on-road costs. Buyers can choose from two mild-hybrid petrol powertrains or two fully electric versions, the latter effectively replacing the previous EQB as Mercedes-Benz’s smallest seven-seat electric SUV option. The GLB suits urban families and premium SUV buyers who want Mercedes-Benz cabin presentation, a raised driving position and the flexibility of occasional third-row seating without stepping up to a larger luxury SUV. Its broad powertrain lineup also gives Australians a choice between familiar petrol touring range and quieter electric driving for commuting and school-run duties.
