The Mercedes-AMG GLB 35 takes the small-yet-practical GLB and adds much more power and four-wheel drive. Just don’t go thinking passengers in the back will enjoy any full-bore starts.
Pros Stylish looks High-class cabin Impressively quick
Cons Less fun than a hot-hatch Cramped third row of seats Alternatives have bigger boots
For 2021 A more powerful AMG GLB 35 debuts.
Pros Spacious for both passengers and cargo Strong overall performance Exceptional ride and seat comfort Lots of the latest tech and convenience features
Cons GLB 250 isn't particularly exciting to drive Options can quickly run the cost up

Pros Great on-board tech Premium feel Decent range
Cons Smaller boot than GLA Not particularly quick Rivals have better charging capability
