Overview

The Mercedes-Benz GLB is a C-segment, seven-seat SUV for buyers who need occasional third-row capacity in a premium-badge package. The X247 facelift generation launched in 2024 and comes with petrol power, a wet dual-clutch automatic gearbox and either front- or all-wheel drive. Prices start from RM290,888.

GLB in 2026 — what's new

The X247 facelift carries into 2026 without an announced 2026-specific update to its Malaysian petrol range: the GLB200 Progressive Line remains the front-wheel-drive entry point, while the GLB250 AMG Line brings all-wheel drive. Mercedes-Benz also reveals a 2026 GLB as a seven-seat EV SUV, with up to 631 km of range, 320 kW DC charging, optional 400V architecture, MBUX Superscreen and MB.OS. A hybrid follows later.

Which variant to buy

Most buyers should choose the RM290,888 GLB200 Progressive Line. It retains the seven-seat layout, uses a 161 hp 1.33-litre petrol engine and costs RM51,000 less than the GLB250. Pay RM341,888 for the GLB250 AMG Line if its 221 hp 1.99-litre engine and all-wheel drive matter to you. On paper, the extra outlay buys more power and driven wheels; check the equipment list before treating the trim name alone as sufficient reason.

Verdict

The GLB’s clear calling card is seven seats in a premium C-segment SUV. The GLB200 is already far dearer than the RM103,800 Proton eMas 7, RM106,800 Proton X70 and RM106,800 Jetour Dashing, while the GLB250 also costs more than the RM283,800 BMW iX2 and RM268,888 Volvo XC40. Buyers are paying for the Mercedes-Benz badge, seven-seat format and, in 250 form, 221 hp with all-wheel drive.
