Used 2022 Mercedes Benz GLB 250

The GLB 250 is a compact luxury SUV offering from Mercedes-Benz that blends the brand’s premium pedigree with a surprisingly versatile package. Under the hood it features a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing 221 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. The transmission is an eight-speed automatic (dual-clutch in many markets), delivering power smoothly to the front wheels (or all wheels if you choose the 4MATIC version). With its boxy yet refined silhouette, the GLB gives you the presence of a Mercedes SUV but in a more compact footprint: approx. 182.4 inches long and 65.3 inches tall. One of its standout features is optional seating for seven despite the size—thanks to a compact third row, making it more family-friendly than many rivals. The interior is well-appointed, featuring the latest Mercedes infotainment and design cues: large screens, stylish ambient lighting, attractive materials, and a driving position that feels elevated. Cargo and passenger flexibility are strong suits: while the third row is best for children or short trips, folding it down opens up a good amount of space for everyday use. Fuel economy for the standard (non-4MATIC) version is rated at roughly 24 mpg city / 32 mpg highway, giving you decent efficiency for a luxury SUV. The variant with all-wheel-drive (4MATIC) sacrifices a little economy (about 22 city / 30 highway) in favor of improved traction and handling in inclement weather. On the road the GLB 250 drives more like a sporty hatchback than a bulky SUV; it has nimble dimensions and sharper reflexes than many larger luxury crossovers. That said, some reviewers point out that the acceleration from a standstill isn’t super brisk (the 0-60 mph time is around 6 seconds) and the dual-clutch transmission can take a moment to respond smoothly.
