A Closer Look at the 2021 Mercedes GLB 250 4MATIC® SUV

Mercedes’ legendary build quality and technology can be yours at an unbelievable price now that their GLB 250 has entered the world of compact crossover SUVs. Featuring the cutting-edge 4MATIC® technology, this SUV makes for a capable steed as it gets through rugged trails with ease. Here’s your introduction to the incredible 2021 Mercedes GLB 250 4MATIC®!

Turbocharged Powertrain

Mercedes’ lineup is known for its compelling powertrains, and the GLB 250 4MATIC® is no different. Motivating this model is a turbocharged 2.0L inline-four engine that offers up 221 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. The engine was specifically designed to provide excellent performance while maximizing fuel efficiency with an EPA-rated 30 MPG highway. For example, its CONICSHAPE cylinders minimize friction, which reduces fuel consumption.

An 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission partners with the engine and makes manual shifting feel responsive and instantaneous. Its Dynamic Select system lets you choose from multiple driving modes—ECO for maximum fuel savings, Comfort for smooth cruising, and Sport, which sharpens the throttle and enables quick manual gear changes with the steering wheel-mounted paddles.

Advanced All-Wheel Drive System

Featuring lightweight components and the latest technology from Mercedes, the GLB 250’s 4MATIC® all-wheel drive lets you feel in total control when the weather and terrain gets harsh. The system’s computer monitors an array of sensors and detects any wheel slip. If slipping occurs, it can divert up to 50% of the available torque to the rear wheels to instantly regain traction.

Sophisticated and Versatile Passenger Cabin

As always, Mercedes delivers an exceptionally luxurious and attractive space for the driver and passengers riding inside the GLB 250. Its upright design also means that the cabin is quite spacious with available seating for up to seven people and 62 cubic feet of cargo space when the rear seats are folded down. The dashboard features an ultra-modern look with clean lines, beautiful silver accents, and easily accessible controls.

The long list of standard comforts includes dual-zone automatic climate control, power adjustable front seats with 3-position memory, and durable, yet soft MB-Tex upholstery. Optional sport front seats offer extra bolstering, which provides more lateral support during hard cornering. 64-color LED ambient lighting is available and illuminates the interior with a dramatic glow.

Infotainment and Technology

Buyers who select the Premium package will have their GLB 250 equipped with 10.25-inch screens for the instrument display and infotainment center. You’ll be able to connect your devices to the multimedia system with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth®, and four USB-C ports. The available onboard Wi-Fi hotspot also lets you connect to the internet with up to eight devices.

The innovative Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) system lets you use intuitive voice commands to control vehicle and infotainment settings. Its available MBUX Interior Assistant feature uses a 3D camera system that reads movements from your hands and arms. With this technology, you can make hand gestures to control the lights or activate your preferred presets.

The GLB 250 4MATIC® is truly one of the most high-tech compact crossovers available today. Its turbo power, all-wheel drive, and large interior give it amazing versatility. To learn more about this model and schedule a test drive, contact Mercedes-Benz of South Charlotte today!
