Overview
- Teaser images show a redesigned cabin with a triple-screen layout (optional MBUX Superscreen) and an available third row, ahead of a Dec. 8 world premiere.
- The next-gen GLB will offer electric, hybrid and combustion variants, pairing the new M252 mild-hybrid engine family with 48‑volt tech and targeting first deliveries in spring 2026.
- The electric versions adopt an 800‑volt architecture supporting up to 320 kW DC fast charging and 22 kW AC, with 58 kWh and 85 kWh battery options and a claimed range of up to roughly 700 km.
- Configurations are expected to include rear- and all-wheel-drive EVs, with packaging tweaks for more second-row legroom and improved headroom versus the outgoing model.
- Mercedes’ rollout comes as it manages a recall of 33,705 EQA/EQB 250+ vehicles that lowers charging power by software and as weak demand for the G580 EQ prompts a 10% retail discount to €128,359.
