Spaciousness and Robustness: Mercedes-Benz unveils the Concept GLB

With the new Concept GLB, Mercedes-Benz shows what SUV ideas on the company’s compact car platform might also be realised alongside the GLA as a sporty all-rounder. While the latter promises progressive driving enjoyment with its coupé-like lines, the Concept GLB places the emphasis on spaciousness and robustness. The concept car (length/width/height: 4,634/1,890/1,900* millimetres) has space for up to seven occupants thanks to its long wheelbase (2,829 millimetres). While a number of sturdy features signal that the Concept GLB feels right at home on rough roads.

The Concept GLB has a distinctive presence in the world of compact SUVs with its muscular proportions. The clear, surface-accentuated contours with reduced lines and precise joints convey effortless superiority and modernity. The upright front section with its striking MULTIBEAM LED headlamps is clear evidence of off-road genes, as are the short overhangs at the front and rear. The long wheelbase and the functional greenhouse are the decisive factors providing generous spaciousness for up to seven occupants.

Production for the Concept GLB will begin at Daimler’s Aguascalientes factory in Mexico and sales is projected to begin before the end of the year.
