The Mercedes-Benz GLB at a glance
The GLB is the compact Mercedes-Benz SUV with the most room: a boxy, upright body 182.4 inches long, five seats as standard and an optional third row that makes it the only seven-seat Mercedes-Benz under $50,000 MSRP. Mercedes-Benz USA lists three 2026 versions: the front-wheel-drive GLB 250, the GLB 250 4MATIC® with all-wheel drive, both with a 221-hp turbo four and mild hybrid drive, and the 302-hp Mercedes-AMG® GLB 35. For most East Valley shoppers, the GLB 250 4MATIC® is the one to drive first: it costs $2,000 more than the front-wheel-drive GLB 250 and adds grip for monsoon storms and weekends in Flagstaff, with the same 33-mpg highway rating. Drive the Mercedes-AMG® GLB 35 next if you want 5.4-second 0–60 mph acceleration in a family-size SUV.

Top 3 GLB questions from Gilbert shoppers
Is the GLB third row big enough to use?
The GLB third row is best for children: it has 29.1 inches of legroom, against 38.1 inches in the second row, according to Mercedes-Benz USA. That makes the seven-seat GLB a good fit for a family with younger kids, carpools to school and practice, or the occasional extra passenger on a short trip across the Valley. If adults or teenagers will ride in the back row often, step up to the 2027 GLS, which has 34.6 inches of third-row legroom; see the Mercedes-Benz GLS guide.
GLB 250 or GLB 250 4MATIC®: do I need all-wheel drive in Arizona?
Most Gilbert drivers are fine with the front-wheel-drive GLB 250, which starts at $43,800 MSRP, $2,000 less than the GLB 250 4MATIC® at $45,800, and gets 1 mpg more in the city (25 vs. 24). Choose 4MATIC® all-wheel drive if you drive through monsoon downpours, take dirt roads to trailheads, or head to Flagstaff, Payson or the White Mountains in winter. Both have the same 221-hp engine, 0–60 mph time and cargo room. Read more in our guide to 4MATIC® all-wheel drive.
GLB or GLC: which compact Mercedes-Benz SUV should I buy?
Choose the GLB for space and price: the GLB 250 4MATIC® starts at $45,800 MSRP, $8,600 less than the 2027 GLC 300 4MATIC® SUV at $54,400, and it offers a third row and more maximum cargo room (62.0 vs. 56.3 cu ft). Choose the GLC for a more upscale cabin and more power, a plug-in hybrid option and a Coupe body style. Compare them in the Mercedes-Benz GLC guide.
GLB vs. BMW X1
The BMW X1 is the GLB’s closest rival among compact luxury SUVs. The 2027 X1 xDrive28i starts $2,600 lower than the GLB 250 4MATIC®, makes more power (241 vs. 221 hp), is quicker to 60 mph (6.2 vs. 6.9 seconds), is rated to tow 3,000 pounds and gets 1 mpg more in the city and on the highway. The GLB is the more practical SUV: it offers a third row the X1 doesn’t, has more maximum cargo room (62.0 vs. 57.2 cu ft), a 5.4-inch longer wheelbase and a bigger fuel tank for long desert drives (15.9 vs. 14.3 gallons). The best way to choose is to drive them back to back; the GLB is waiting at Mercedes-Benz of Gilbert.

GLB 250 or Mercedes-AMG® GLB 35?
Choose the GLB 250 or GLB 250 4MATIC® for an everyday family SUV: up to seven seats, up to 62.0 cubic feet of cargo room and up to 33 mpg on the highway, from $43,800 MSRP. Choose the Mercedes-AMG® GLB 35, from $60,600, if you want performance without giving up the space: its AMG®-enhanced 302-hp turbo four and AMG® Performance 4MATIC® run 0–60 mph in 5.4 seconds, 1.5 seconds quicker than the GLB 250, with the same seats and cargo room, rated 21 city / 27 highway mpg.
