The next Mercedes GLB is ready for the spotlight, with its official reveal scheduled for December 8. Early images show a familiar upright SUV silhouette refined with sharper lines and a slightly bigger frame, stretching its length, height, and width to boost interior room.
Inside, the GLB takes a leap forward. The dashboard now mirrors the screen-heavy layout first seen in the new CLA, featuring the MBUX Superscreen setup. That means a 10.25-inch instrument cluster paired with two 14-inch touchscreens, offering both driver and passenger dedicated displays. Controls have been revamped with rockers and physical switches bringing tactile feedback back, a smart move after years of relying purely on touch.
Comfort gets serious attention. Second-row passengers gain more legroom and better thigh support, and the rear bench can slide forward or back to balance space between the middle and optional third-row seats. Those third-row spots are easier to access thanks to this improved adjustability, making the GLB a more practical seven-seater option.
Mercedes didn’t stop at interiors. The GLB offers a panoramic sunroof with an illuminated star pattern for those wanting a distinct luxury touch. Front-wheel drive powers the base trims, delivering 136 or 190 horsepower, with 4MATIC all-wheel drive on higher trims for better traction.
Overall, the new GLB blends familiar design cues with sharper tech and a more thoughtful interior layout. At 182.4 inches long with a 111.4-inch wheelbase, it remains compact but functional, ready to take on rivals in the competitive mid-size SUV segment.
With deliveries slated for early 2026, the refreshed GLB aims to hit the sweet spot for premium buyers craving style, tech, and usability all in one SUV. Watch for the December reveal to see the full specs and trims as Mercedes pushes the GLB into the next decade.
