Discover an approved used AMG GLB through Stratstone
The Mercedes-Benz GLB makes a great base for an AMG performance model, with credits to its refined, athletic looks and high levels of practicality that are to be expected from a premium SUV. Not to mention its race car standards of power and performance.
The AMG 35 4MATIC has given this 7-seat SUV a serious boost in performance and handling, with all-wheel drive capabilities alongside extra touches of luxury and unique AMG styling throughout.
It is highly sought-after as a used car buy for a number of reasons, including:
- High-class interior
- Striking design cues
- Powerful performance
- Brimming with technology
- Versatile for driving thrills and everyday use
Engines and Driving Experience
The GLB AMG's turbocharged 2.0-litre 4-cylinder petrol engine produces 302bhp and 295lb ft of torque, reaching 62mph in just 5.2 seconds from a standing start.
Power is distributed to all four wheels via AMG Performance 4MATIC fully variable all-wheel drive, which can vary from front-wheel drive to a 50:50 front/rear split.
Top speed is electronically limited to 155mph. The suspension is re-engineered to match, with steering knuckles and transverse control arms on the front axle, as well as a model-specific subframe and wheel carriers at the rear.
Of course being an AMG performance model, the GLB is great fun to drive, with immense levels of power, and a surprisingly comfortable overall experience.
Practicality and Running Costs
The GLB’s elegant lines and practical upright rear end straddle the divide between boxy and chic, with echoes of the flagship G-Class in its styling.
While not the biggest, there is enough boot space for everyday needs and expands significantly with folded seats. However, if luggage capacity is your priority, consider a larger SUV like the Mercedes-AMG GLC SUV.
Being an AMG model, the GLB AMG's running costs are higher than the traditional model, but still remain reasonable for a performance-focused SUV. All servicing and maintenance can be expertly handled by expert technicians at your nearest Stratstone Mercedes-Benz retailer.
Interior, Technology, and Safety
All GLB models feature the acclaimed MBUX system with its choice of touch commands or the intelligent ‘Hey Mercedes’ voice control. The GLB 35’s twin 10.25-inch touchscreens include three AMG specific display modes; ‘Classic’, ‘Sporty’ and ‘Supersport’, with the latter mode featuring a central, round rev counter and bar graph-style driver information.
The AMG Dynamic Select drive programs comprise Slippery, Comfort, Sport, Sport+ and Individual driving modes. Satellite navigation, smartphone integration with wireless charging, USB ‘C’ ports and an advanced sound system come as standard.
It also comes with Active Brake Assist, Active Lane Keeping Assist, Attention Assist (to monitor driver tiredness) and ESP Curve Dynamic Assist. Further safety equipment includes seat belts with belt tensioners and belt force limiters, a window airbag that extends to protect third-row passengers and ISOFIX anchor points for compatible child seats.
Is the Mercedes-AMG GLC right for me?
The Mercedes-AMG GLB exceeds expectations as a used car buy as a result of its iconic AMG performance paired with state-of-the-art technology and driver assistance technology.
If you would like a model with comparable levels of power and more practicality, the Audi SQ5 might be a better fit. It offers more space behind the rear seats and even more with them folded down.
Looking for something more premium? The Porsche Macan delivers exceptional performance and handling in a luxurious package.
