2025 Mercedes GLB Exterior and Colors
The 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLB is a luxury compact SUV providing solid acceleration and plenty of cargo space to suit your needs. While the smallest SUV in the lineup, the GLA, has a coupe-style body, the GLB-Class features a more typical crossover design. But what are your options when it comes to putting the personal touch on your vehicle inside and out? Our Mercedes-Benz experts in Temecula, California, can help you take a closer look at the color options and other features to choose from if you opt to purchase a GLB-Class SUV.
Mercedes GLB Exterior Features
The GLB-Class got an upgrade for its 2024 model year that still looks fresh in 2025. All-new bumpers, headlights, and taillights improved the image of this vehicle as a utility-oriented but modern upscale crossover. Under the hood, a 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder engine powers the GLB-Class, showcasing a good 221 horsepower and a stout 258 lb-ft of torque. If you want the engine to break through 300 horsepower, you can get a modified version of the same four-cylinder unit in the Mercedes-Benz AMG GLB35 that does just that.
The turbocharged four-cylinder engine saw some changes for 2024. The additional 48-volt electric motor turns the powertrain into a light hybrid setup. However, the horsepower output remains the same, at 221 horsepower in the standard GLB-Class and 302 horsepower for the AMG GLB35. The presence of the electric motor does lead to a slight improvement in fuel economy.
The GLB-Class has a slightly longer body than its smaller sibling, the GLA-Class. A more noticeable distinguishing feature between these two models is the roof design. The GLA-Class has a sloping rear roof to emphasize its sleek appearance akin to a coupe, whereas the GLB-Class presents a bulkier frame. While some people may find the GLA-Class more visually appealing, you'll discover that it comes at the cost of less interior cargo and passenger room. With the extra space it possesses, the GLB-Class allows you to add a third row of seats.
Front-wheel drive is standard in the GLB-Class, but you can upgrade to all-wheel drive (AWD) if desired. The AWD can come in handy if you're planning to tackle gravel trails in your GLB-Class or looking for a bit more control for challenging driving conditions. Opting for the high-powered AMG GLB35 gets you AWD as a standard feature. You can choose between 19- and 20-inch wheels and enjoy the status that comes with having an AMG crest displayed on your bonnet.
Exterior Color Options
The exterior color you choose for your GLB-Class can say a lot about your personality or the impression you want to make on others. There's no shortage of color options for you to put your personal stamp on this luxury crossover. If you want to keep things simple but refined, you could opt for Polar White or Night Black. Options such as Cosmos Black metallic and Mountain Grey metallic continue the refined appearance but add a touch more style.
Starling Blue metallic, Cirrus Silver metallic, and MANUFAKTUR Patagonia Red metallic are three more stand-out color options for you to consider. These choices are ideal if you want people to notice your GLB-Class on the roads around Temecula.
Interior Color Options
The selection of color options inside the opulent cabin of the GLB-Class offers a range of possible looks. Whether you want to create a relaxed vibe or a more businesslike appearance, there's something to keep every buyer happy. You can choose a single color scheme, such as Black, Macchiato Beige, or Bahia Brown. Alternatively, you could opt for one of the two-tone color options to make the interior stand out. These choices include Bahia Brown/Black and Classic Red/Black, so you have significant flexibility to give your cabin the look and feel you prefer.
Other Interior Features
The standard interior setup of this crossover provides room for five people to sit across two rows. You can also add an optional third row at an additional cost, providing an extra two seats for passengers in the rear. Alternatively, you can take advantage of the 22 cubic feet of storage space behind the second row, which is substantial for the class. It should be enough to hold your suitcases for a road trip or a large load of groceries. Power-adjustable front seats are standard, and you can add heated and ventilated seats if you want them.
On the infotainment front, you'll have a 12.3-inch touch screen to access all your favorite features. You can choose between wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, four USB ports, or Bluetooth to link your phone with the display. Another 12.3-inch screen serves as the digital gauge cluster, presenting you with all the performance information about your GLB-Class that you'll need. If you want to enjoy your music and podcast episodes in the highest quality surround sound, we'd recommend upgrading to the Burmester audio system.
Safety features to assist the driver include automatic emergency braking and pedestrian detection. When you hit the highway, the lane departure warning and lane-keep assist features help you stay on the right track. Adaptive cruise control adjusts your speed so you maintain a safe distance from other motorists. You can also add an active blind-spot assistant, which will help you avoid collisions with vehicles approaching you from awkward angles to see. Another useful upgrade to consider is the surround-view parking camera for added protection as you move into position.
