Overview
- Mercedes released interior images and confirmed the debut date, promising more head- and legroom plus a panoramic roof that can turn transparent, milky or into an illuminated starry sky.
- Built on the MMA architecture, the new GLB will accommodate both mild-hybrid combustion and fully electric drivetrains and introduces MB.OS with the MBUX Superscreen across the dash.
- For electric variants, Mercedes cites an 800‑volt system on MMA enabling DC fast charging up to 320 kW.
- Mercedes highlights a new heat pump that in cold‑weather testing warms the cabin roughly twice as fast while using about half the energy, with windshield defrosting targeted in around 15 minutes at −15 to −20°C.
- A 2026 market launch is expected and journalists estimate pricing from about €47,000, with CLA‑derived EV outputs and a new 1.5‑liter 48‑V mild‑hybrid likely, though full specifications and prices remain unannounced.
