5 reasons to buy the 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLB250
1. Spacious interior
The boxiness of the 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLB 250 gives it extra cargo space thanks to the height of the roof. It also means the space is easier to slide things into – even bulky items. In the base model, there’s 27 cu-ft behind the rear seats and 62 cu-ft with the rear seats folded, which is amazing for a compact SUV. On top of this, there are plenty of tucked-away spaces within the cabin for personal items, meaning you don’t have to rely entirely on the trunk.
2. Comfortable for long journeys
The 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLB 250 is a comfy vehicle even at its most basic level, with synthetic leather seats that are well-cushioned and supportive. There’s also lots of room around them on both rows, meaning most people will be able to spread out without feeling cramped. There is an optional third row, which is unusual for a small SUV, that's suitable for children. Keep an eye out for the optional multi-contour seats with massage function, which helps alleviate the strain of long drives.
3. Great tech
As a luxury car, the 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLB 250, unsurprisingly, contains plenty of tech treats. The MBUX infotainment system is the crown jewel, being incredibly easy to use and responsive. There’s a seven-inch touchscreen as standard with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration, as well as Bluetooth® connectivity. It’s worth checking for additional packages, as many of them add tech upgrades like a bigger screen, navigation, or parking assistance.
4. Strong performance
The 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLB 250 comes with one engine option: a 221-hp turbocharged four-cylinder. This is more than enough power for your daily needs in this small SUV and it can reach zero-to-60 in 6.5 seconds. This makes it easy to merge into highway traffic or pass a slow-moving truck on the way to work.
5. Good driver aids
The 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLB 250 comes with some strong driver aids, as you'd would expect from the luxury class. Features include rearview camera, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and forward collision warning. Some of the swankier features include vehicle exit warning (alerting exiting passengers of vehicles that are coming up from behind) and driver attention monitoring.
