Rent Mercedes-Benz GLB in Europe

When it comes to SUVs, we’re spoilt for choice. There are small ones, big ones, rugged ones, fast ones, hybrids and even fully electric ones. But with such a great variety, it’s surprising that there are so few seven-seat SUVs with a premium badge – at least ones that aren’t the size of an aircraft carrier. That's where the Mercedes GLB steps in. The ‘B’ in its name might lead you to think it’s smaller than the GLC, which it is, but by only a couple of centimetres. And the GLB is available with an extra row of seats, just like its chief rival in the large SUV class, the Land Rover Discovery Sport. Underneath, is closely related to the B-Class MPV. It comes with the option of four engines – two diesels and two petrols – including the AMG-fettled GLB 35 (that's the fast one, for those of you after a bit more oomph). All come with an automatic gearbox as standard, and there's a choice of two or four-wheel drive depending on which engine you go for.

GLB Performance

The entry-level 1.3-litre petrol (badged GLB 200) has a seemingly healthy 161bhp and is fine for just pootling around town or when you’re by yourself. However, because most of its power arrives high up in the rev range, you’ll find it struggles on faster roads, and particularly when seven people are on board. It doesn’t help that its standard seven-speed automatic gearbox is slow to react when you ask for a burst of acceleration. The gutsier diesels have a more responsive eight-speed auto 'box and are altogether better suited to the GLB. We prefer the 187bhp 220d over the 148bhp 200d (both are 2.0-litres), because its muscularity is a perfect fit for the GLB’s bus-like accommodation. It can get from 0-62mph in 7.6sec, which is quite a bit quicker than a Land Rover Discovery Sport D200 can and is on a par with the BMW X3 20d. It pulls strongly between 1500rpm and 4000rpm and can tow a caravan along without much difficulty, too. The most powerful engine is the 302bhp 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol in the AMG 35. That can hit 0-62mph in just 5.2sec, aided by its standard-fit launch control system and four-wheel drive.

GLB Interior

You’ll have no complaints about the amount of reach and height adjustment that you get with the steering wheel. All GLBs come with digital instruments instead of conventional dials, and you can arrange them in a number of modes and styles. As standard, it's a 7.0in screen but, if you step up to AMG Line Premium, it grows to 10.25in. The rest of the dashboard layout works well, with a row of simple buttons to manage the climate control.
