2022 Mercedes-Benz GLB: the perfect ally for your family?
June 22 2022,
When you're looking for an SUV for your family, you take the time to consider several elements. The space available, the number of seats offered, the engine's consumption and the price of the vehicle.
Normally, to take advantage of a lot of space and a lot of room, you have to sacrifice the price and the fuel consumption. Conversely, if you want an affordable and frugal vehicle, you have to forget about space and extra seating.
There is one exception to this rule and it comes in the form of the GLB SUV from Mercedes-Benz. This model is affordable, frugal, spacious and welcoming.
How is this possible? Check out the following.
Space to spare
Normally, when you're dealing with a subcompact SUV, you have to make some concessions. Not so with the 2022 GLB. The GLB benefits from a space-maximizing layout, and engineers have done a tremendous amount of work to make the most of it.
For example, the second row seats are on slides. This not only increases the amount of cargo space in the back, but also makes it easier to get into the third row.
Yes, it is possible to have a third bench seat with the GLB. This one is divisible in a 50-50 proportion while the second one enjoys a 40-20-40 approach.
As for the cargo volume, it's amazing considering the vehicle's exterior size. Basically, with a five-seat model, you get 765 liters behind the second row and 1755 liters behind the first. With a seven-seat version, we're talking 680 and 1606 liters, in that order.

Purchase and pump prices
Finally, when it comes to the cost of driving a Mercedes-Benz GLB, you're doing extraordinarily well. First of all, the model is priced so that you can stay within your budget. And with the resale value that is unique to the brand's products, you can't help but come out ahead.
Then, at the pump, the 2-liter turbo 4-cylinder engine that equips the model at the time of purchase is a reference in terms of consumption. Despite a very adequate 221 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, it claims only 7.8 liters per 100 kilometers on the highway. In the city, the average is 10.3, which is excellent.
And on top of all that, you get a host of Mercedes-Benz product benefits, from the MBUX multimedia system, to 4MATIC all-wheel drive, to exceptional interior quality and driving experience.
The 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLB is truly a top choice for your family this summer.
