Although Mercedes-Benz has been far ahead in the competition of the BBA, some low-end models and some so-called emotional models still cannot satisfy us, so this kind of Mercedes-Benz is called "buying a standard and sending a car" by netizens! For example, the Mercedes-Benz GLB we are going to talk about today, from the upward point of view of the shape, is indeed a solid SUV, and both the appearance and the interior have left a deep impression on us, which is indeed the taste of Mercedes-Benz. But the 1.3T engine is really not happy, Xiaobian does not understand why Mercedes-Benz is designed in this way, is it really like netizens said, is it a patchwork model? Only Mercedes-Benz itself knows!
Of course, although I want to talk about GRB today, it is not the previous GLB, but the 2022 model. It is reported that the new car has made the final preparations before the listing and will be fully listed this year. Let's see what changes the new car brings us! First of all, in terms of appearance, GLB still shows the previous tough design style, and the front grille adopts two punched hole shapes, and the middle is still equipped with a hollow LOGO. The headlights of the new GLB have also become more three-dimensional, with two sets of headlights for the internal light source, and the running lights with a segmented ring structure! We look at the lower part of the car, the shape of the double fog lights is deeper, and the shape extended from the chassis also shows a sense of power.
In terms of size, the new GLB has a length, width and height of 4638mm, 1834mm, 1700mm, and a wheelbase of 2829mm. The performance of the whole size is still very good. On the side, the new car still does not have a significant waistline, and also adopts a wide-body body design, with the wheel eyebrows slightly protruding upwards, still showing its strong sense of power! Compared with the change of the front face, the tail is slightly simpler, and the double ring tail lamp remains unchanged, and the exhaust air that runs through the back of the whole body and the silver trim panel inlay are the best interpretation of fashion.
Interior, this new generation of GLB does not adopt the new interior layout of Mercedes-Benz, which is not good news for fanciful friends. After all, the new generation of Mercedes-Benz C has adopted a new layout. The multi-functional three-frame steering wheel, rich in function buttons, with a through-screen screen, respectively, the 10.25-inch full LCD instrument panel and the 10.25-inch central control screen also show a stronger scientific and technological model. The air conditioner still adopts a circular design, which is both retro and can enhance the design of the car, the seat material has excellent texture, and the shape emphasizes comfort and fit. Indeed, in the creation of a sense of luxury, the new GLB is still full of highlights.
In addition to the design style changes, the entire powertrain has also ushered in a transformation, from the original 1.3T four-cylinder engine to a 2.0T high-power four-cylinder engine, and the matching transmission will maintain an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission. Therefore, the powertrain of the new Mercedes-Benz GLA and Mercedes-Benz GLB will be 2.0T+8DCT, with a maximum power of 140kW and a maximum torque of 300N·m. The power is qualified, and the price is also a small improvement over the previous generation of products, and it is indeed the style of Mercedes-Benz! The new car will be officially launched this year.
