The updated Mercedes-Benz GLB seven-seat SUV range is set to go on sale in Australia this week.
The starting price for the GLB range has risen by $5900. It now starts at $72,900 before on-roads for the front-wheel drive GLB 200, and extends to $102,900 before on-roads for the AMG GLB 35 4Matic.
As part of the update the entire Mercedes-Benz GLB range now comes with a 48V mild-hybrid system that includes a belt-driven starter generator, which is capable of providing an additional 10kW for shorter period of time. It’s also claimed to enable smoother engine stop-start and coasting with the engine switched off.
