2027 Mercedes-Benz GLB

The 2027 Mercedes-Benz GLB arrives as an all-new electric SUV built around a straightforward idea: generous space for up to seven occupants in a vehicle that charges quickly and travels far on a single battery. Two launch variants anchor the lineup -- the rear-drive GLB 250+ with EQ Technology and the all-wheel-drive GLB 350 4MATIC with EQ Technology -- each drawing from an 85-kWh lithium-ion battery and an 800-volt electrical architecture capable of adding up to 260 kilometres of range (WLTP) in just ten minutes. Compared to its predecessor, the GLB gains 60 mm of wheelbase, translating directly into improved legroom and headroom across all three rows. A high-tech hybrid variant with 48-volt technology will also join the range. Mercedes-Benz Heritage Valley in Edmonton will welcome this model as it reaches the Canadian market, and our team is ready to answer your questions about trims, equipment, and expected timing.

What's New About the 2027 Mercedes-Benz GLB?

Exterior

Upright proportions, a steep windshield, and short overhangs shape the GLB's profile into a clear SUV silhouette. At the front, an illuminated grille houses 94 individually animated LED chrome-effect stars surrounding a fully lit central Mercedes-Benz emblem. Standard high-performance LED headlights incorporate a star-shaped design element and connect across the fascia through a horizontal light band. Wheel arch surrounds and visual underride guards at both ends reinforce the vehicle's rugged stance, while pillared roof rails add practical cargo-carrying options for Edmonton-area drivers heading into the Rockies or across Alberta's open highways.

The GLB measures 4,732 mm in length, 1,861 mm in width, and 1,687 mm in height, riding on a 2,889-mm wheelbase. Flush-mounted wheels are available in sizes up to 20 inches, and optional flush-fitting exterior door handles sit smoothly against the body panels. At the rear, star-design taillights are linked by a fully illuminated horizontal element. With a drag coefficient of 0.28, aerodynamic refinements -- including a sealed front end, smooth underbody, and optimized wheel spoilers -- help preserve electric range over long distances.

Interior

A minimalist cabin centres on a few purposeful high-tech elements. The optional floating MBUX Superscreen stretches across the full interior width, pairing a 10.25-inch driver display with a 14-inch central screen and a 14-inch front passenger display behind a single glass surface. Round climate vents with Silver Shadow outer rings bookend the display assembly, and a flat centre nozzle replaces traditional vent louvres. The floating centre console integrates cupholders and a smartphone storage compartment with available wireless charging, finished in a selection of open-pore wood, brushed aluminum, anodized-look coating, or natural fibre trim.

The second row benefits from 68 mm of additional legroom over the outgoing model, a 9-degree improvement in hip angle, and upgraded seat foam with better lateral contouring. An optional third row seats two occupants comfortably up to 5'5" tall, with easier access thanks to a 32-mm longer Easy Entry adjustment range and wider rear door openings. Cargo volume reaches 540 litres behind the second row (480 litres with the third row installed) and expands to 1,715 litres with rear seats folded (1,605 litres with third row). A 127-litre frunk provides additional enclosed storage at the front of the vehicle.

Features

2027 Mercedes-Benz GLB

Powertrain

The GLB 250+ with EQ Technology places a permanently excited synchronous motor on the rear axle, producing 268 hp and 247 lb-ft of torque. A two-speed transmission pairs a short 11:1 first gear for strong low-speed acceleration with a 5:1 second gear optimized for highway efficiency, contributing to a battery-to-wheel efficiency rating of 93 percent. Electric range reaches up to 631 kilometres (WLTP), and the estimated 0--60 mph time is 7.3 seconds. The GLB 350 4MATIC with EQ Technology adds a 107-hp front-axle motor with a Disconnect Unit that engages only when extra traction or power is needed, reducing front-axle losses by up to 90 percent during light-load driving. Total system output rises to 349 hp and 380 lb-ft, with an estimated 0--60 mph time of 5.4 seconds and up to 614 kilometres of range (WLTP).

Both variants share the 85-kWh battery and 800-volt architecture, accepting DC fast charging at up to 320 kW. A standard DC converter also enables charging at 400-volt stations. Recuperation operates across four driver-selectable levels, with up to 200 kW of regenerative braking power available -- strong enough to bring the GLB to a full stop without touching the friction brakes. The ECO Assistant uses navigation data and onboard sensors to coach drivers toward energy-saving habits, factoring in roundabouts, inclines, speed limits, and traffic conditions. Edmonton's temperature swings are handled by an innovative heat pump adapted from VISION EQXX technology, drawing from three energy sources simultaneously and heating the cabin twice as fast as the predecessor while using roughly half the energy.

Technology

Fourth-generation MBUX runs on the Mercedes-Benz Operating System (MB.OS), with a supercomputer that supports over-the-air updates for infotainment, driver assistance, and vehicle functions. The MBUX Virtual Assistant uses generative AI from ChatGPT4o, Microsoft Bing Search, and Google Cloud's Automotive AI Agent to handle multi-turn conversations, navigation queries, and vehicle-specific questions through natural speech. Navigation is powered by Google Maps with Digital Extra: MBUX Navigation with Electric Intelligence, which plans routes including charging stops based on topography, temperature, traffic, and battery state. MBUX Surround Navigation presents a real-time 3D view of the vehicle's surroundings on the driver display, showing nearby cars, cyclists, and pedestrians.

Standard safety equipment includes eight cameras, five radar sensors, 12 ultrasonic sensors, and the PRE-SAFE preventive occupant protection system with seat belt pre-tensioning and window closure before an anticipated collision. A centre airbag between driver and front passenger and knee airbags for both front occupants are fitted for the first time in the GLB. Optional Digital Extra packages add Distance Assist DISTRONIC with steering and lane-change assistance, enhanced parking automation with 360-degree camera views, and the transparent hood function on 4MATIC models. The GLB 350 4MATIC also includes a TERRAIN drive program that adjusts drivetrain, steering, and brake behaviour for gravel and dirt roads -- a practical asset for Alberta's varied terrain beyond city limits.

Versions

At launch, the electric GLB lineup includes the GLB 250+ with EQ Technology and the GLB 350 4MATIC with EQ Technology. The GLB 250+ prioritizes long-range efficiency through its single rear-motor layout and two-speed transmission, while the GLB 350 4MATIC delivers additional performance and all-weather traction with its dual-motor, all-wheel-drive configuration. Both models can be personalized with AMG Line, AMG Line Plus, and Night Package styling options, along with a variety of upholstery selections and interior trim finishes including new Liquid Crystal Green and Sky Blue Metallic exterior paints. The optional SKY CONTROL panoramic roof allows glass transparency to shift between clear and opaque in milliseconds, with 158 illuminated stars visible at night. A high-tech hybrid GLB with 48-volt technology and a 1.5-litre four-cylinder gasoline engine paired with an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission will follow, offering 4MATIC all-wheel drive and electric-only driving capability at lower speeds.
