Mercedes-Benz reckons A B C is as easy as 1 2 3, which is why it’s adding an all new nameplate to the world’s ever-expanding list of premium small SUVs.
What you’re looking at here is the GLB, and as the name implies – it’s the latest addition to the Deutsche juggernaut’s compact family. Mercedes is a little late to the show though, with its main competitors, Audi and BMW, already offering two small SUVs each.
Not to be outdone though, Mercedes’ GLB is a totally different take on the small premium SUV formula, especially since, well, it’s not all that small.
The powerful proportions of the GLB underscore the off-road focus of the design: the surfaces of the forms are emphasised, and reduced lines and precise seams are major features. The upright front section with its striking headlamps is clear evidence of off-road genes, as are the short overhangs at the front and rear.
