New 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLB 250 4MATIC® SUV

The 221-hp 2.0L inline-4 engine combines turbocharging with numerous advances to deliver more power from less fuel. Its rapid-multispark ignition and high-pressure Direct Injection can fine-tune themselves in milliseconds. Its twin-scroll turbo and CAMTRONIC variable valve lift help keep all 258 lb-ft of torque on tap from just 1,800 rpm. Clever CONICSHAPE cylinders slash friction to help reduce wear and fuel consumption. An ECO Start/Stop system automatically shuts off the engine at stoplights and other idle situations, to save fuel and reduce emissions. As soon as the driver lifts off the brake, the engine instantly restarts, for immediate acceleration response. The ECO Start/Stop system can also be shut off by the driver at any time. The 8-speed transmission combines the sporty response of a manual, the easygoing refinement of an automatic and exceptional efficiency. Dual clutches offer quicker gear changes than a human can shift a traditional manual gearbox, while three overdrive ratios boost highway efficiency. The ECO, Sport and Comfort modes of DYNAMIC SELECT let you favor fully automatic efficiency and comfort, intensified response, or shift-for-yourself excitement via the steering wheel-mounted shift paddles. In any season, on any road, 4MATIC® all-wheel drive adds to your confidence and control. Lightweight, nimble, this advanced generation of 4MATIC® was developed to offer variable torque distribution to the front and rear axles. Continually monitoring for wheel slip, it can instantly send up to 50 percent of the engine's torque output to the rear wheels in response to changing driving conditions.

Like every member of the Mercedes-Benz SUV family, the GLB takes its shape from its capabilities, from sizable wheels to the functional roof rails. Solidly upright styling and a long wheelbase maximize cabin space, allowing seating for up to seven in a compact footprint, while short overhangs enhance maneuverability in town and off-road. Ruggedly appealing details include black wheel-arch trim, a bold grille and wrap-under doors to help you exit without touching dirty side sills. Versatile seating, cutting-edge technology and modern style team up to create a cabin that works well and looks great. Digital instruments and displays, touchpads on the steering wheel and console and an industry-advancing voice interface enhance ease of use. Two or available three seating rows include a multi-adjustable second row. And standard luxuries abound, from power front seats with memory, to dual-zone climate control. Sleek and purposeful, the roof rails accommodate a variety of available accessory attachments for carrying bikes, surfboards, skis, snowboards and cargo carriers. They're crafted from elegant aluminum that adds modern style even when you're not using them.

Radar-based technology can alert you if you're approaching a vehicle ahead, or even some stationary objects, at a speed and distance that suggest a collision is likely. As soon as you start to brake, it can automatically provide an appropriate level of braking to help prevent a collision or reduce its severity. If you fail to respond, it can also initiate braking automatically at a range of driving speeds. The system can also detect and react to crossing pedestrians at typical city speeds. If an air bag deploys, your car can automatically initiate a call to Mercedes-Benz Emergency Services, transmitting your GPS-determined location and helpful vehicle information on your behalf. Trained experts are on call 24/7 to help summon local emergency responders to your location. You can also press the SOS button in the vehicle anytime you need emergency assistance, or see someone else who does. This vital service is provided for as long as you own the vehicle, no matter who's driving. The first system of its kind, ATTENTION ASSIST®(R) continuously monitors up to 70 parameters of driving behavior and can automatically alert the driver with both visual and audible warnings if it detects signs of drowsiness on long trips. With enhanced sensitivity, the system can also help detect drivers who begin their trip drowsy and offer more useful information to drivers along their journey via a dashboard display.

Intuitive, seat-shaped controls help you find your ideal driving position with 12-way power adjustment, including 4-way power lumbar support. A memory system for each front seat recalls three stored seat positions with the touch of a button. The driver-seat memory also includes the power side mirror positions. Both front seats also feature adjustable cushion length, for optimal thigh support and added comfort. The 2nd-row seatbacks fold down in a 40/20/40 split, offering a variety of cargo and passenger configurations. Folding the center section independently can help you fit longer items like skis between two rear passengers. The seatbacks are adjustable to multiple positions from a comfortably gentle recline to more upright settings to add cargo length while still seating passengers. The second row also slides fore-aft up to 5.5 inches for a range of legroom and cargo space.
