7 Seat Beast

The Mercedes GLB is designed with practicality in mind, offering ample space and versatile features to accommodate your lifestyle. The GLB’s boxy shape and clever interior layout maximizes space for both passengers and cargo, offering impressive headline numbers of 7 seats and 500 litres of boot space. Mercedes legendary build quality means reliability isn’t an issue, but your Mercedes GLB subscription from mycardirect includes all maintenance and roadside assistance, for peace of mind.

The spacious cabin provides comfortable seating for the first five occupants, however the final row of seating should probably be reserved for children, as the legroom is limited. The 500 litres of boot space becomes a whopping 1055 litres with the rear seats folded down. More than enough to fit the whole family’s equipment and luggage. As such the GLB is an ideal choice for larger families, and those who frequently travel with friends. Especially if you want to drive a proper premium SUV, rather than a glorified minibus.

Boxy but beautiful

The GLB is actually one of Mercedes’ smallest SUVs, but you wouldn’t be able to tell from looking at it. The design itself really is a big box, but the lines of the bodywork are artfully sculpted to give the GLB a sporty dimension. With a bold grille and flared air intakes up front, the GLB really does look the business. The GLB AMG Line executive available on flexible car subscription from mycardirect further emphasises the GLB’s sporty styling, with chrome accents and even a racing car style diffuser at the back.

Planted atop 19 inch alloys and fitted with practical roof bars, the GLB is actually taller than its “big brother” the GLC.

Think inside the box

Step inside the Mercedes GLB, and you’ll discover a world of practicality and comfort. The meticulously crafted interior showcases premium materials and exquisite attention to detail, from carbon finishes on the doors to those gorgeous chrome Mercedes air vents. The spacious cabin offers great headroom for all passengers, and a commanding driving position for the driver, with a great view of the road ahead. The interior is thoughtfully designed with intuitive controls. Our AMG Line models include the larger touchscreen infotainment system, which better suits the interior styling and is easier to use – it’s a must have in our opinion.

The GLB was designed with family in mind, and the thoughtful interior design features really show this. The door bins are massive, while cubby holes, cup holders and USB charging points abound. The middle seats are as comfortable as you would expect from a Mercedes, and offer great legroom. One really nice touch, is that the doors extend all the way to the lower bumper, so when you hop out of the elevated seating space, there is no risk of your legs getting muddy.

The power to surprise

Two things about the GLB’s engine will surprise you. Firstly it’s quite small for a car of it’s size, secondly it puts out a shocking amount of power from such a small engine. Despite being powered by just a 1.3 litre engine, the petrol engine available from mycardirect puts out a thrilling 163 horsepower. The 7 speed automatic gearbox is silky smooth, while reverse is intuitively engaged by an indicator style stalk behind the steering wheel.

On the roads this translates to pleasant driving around town, aided by a surprisingly tight turning circle, and on the motorway swift acceleration up from 40 to 70 when you come off the slip road. A boxy 7 seater will never be able to thrill in the corners, but the GLB does a great job of synthesizing 7 seater practicality with a premium driving experience. Car subscription is fully flexible, so if you want to exit your Mercedes GLB subscription, you can swap into something sportier from month to month.

Safe as houses

Mercedes-Benz prioritizes safety, and the GLB is equipped with a comprehensive suite of safety features to protect you and your passengers. From its robust construction to its advanced safety systems, the GLB offers peace of mind on the road. Features such as collision prevention assist, blind spot assist, and rearview camera help prevent accidents and improve awareness.

The front seats of the GLB come equipped with an airbag for almost every body-part, including knee, pelvis and the side of the head. This full suite gives the GLB a front passenger safety rating of 92%, and 88% in the rear, as well as the coverted Euro NCAP 5 star safety rating. With its commitment to safety, the GLB provides reassurance and confidence for a secure driving experience.
