Performance

A great place to start your comparison of the GLB and GLE models is with a look at their base trims. The GLB 250 is powered by a four-cylinder, 2.0-liter turbo engine. This 221-horsepower system combines a dual-clutch, eight-speed automatic transmission, and front-wheel drive. The GLE 350 features a 255-horsepower, turbo four-cylinder engine. Both rear-wheel and 4MATIC® all-wheel drive are offered at this trim level.

Appearance

The 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLB 250 is a two-row model with a tall roofline to ensure ample space across the cabin. Its style is characterized by a short yet confident nose, almost-rectangular LED headlights, and a wide grille. The GLB 250 also has extensive body molding along the entire lower perimeter, and the sides are smoothly sculpted. The 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLE 350 is a longer vehicle with a raked rear. The smooth sculpting on the sides is modestly angled, and a sharp crease accompanies this. The wide grille sits above a sporty, barbell-like bumper. The headlights show off a pair of LED bars that point inward for a dramatic effect.

Features

Suppose you opt to take the GLB 250 home. In that case, your crossover will be equipped with reclining and sliding rear seats, memory settings for both front seats, synthetic leather material, a push-button starter, a touch controller pad for the infotainment system screen, four USB-C ports, the MBUX system, forward collision mitigation, natural voice recognition, touch sensors on the steering wheel, a blind-spot warning and a digital display for the driver's instruments. The GLE 350 is available with an optional third row. It also has an integrated navigation system, multi-color ambient lighting, a sunroof, a larger infotainment system screen, auto emergency braking, wireless device charging, and many other features in the GLB 250.
