At this moment, which is close to the "post-fuel vehicle era", Mercedes-Benz has finally stopped cutting the rope in the engine displacement.
This change in wind direction is quite obvious, except for the C-class poor all with 1.5T engines, the rest of the models have begun to move closer to the word "conscience". For example, after the E-class of the 2.0 series has been fully installed, the GLB that has been carrying the name of "small horse-drawn cart" for many years has also begun to "change its face", equipped with the new 2.0T version of the GLB, which is coming.
Of course, 2.0T is not absolute
As the question, considering the cost and price range and other issues, Mercedes-Benz did not do absolute, 2.0T absolute on the GLB.
Of the five 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLB models officially launched on March 2, the biggest change is the elimination of the 1.3T low-power version, the entry-level version of the two models equipped with high-power 1.3T engines, maximum power 163Ps, peak torque of 250N·m, the transmission part is still the familiar 7DCT transmission. The three 2.0T versions raise the maximum power and peak torque to 190Ps/300N·m, and the gearbox has become an 8-speed dual-clutch, with a four-wheel drive option.
Of course, after the increase, the price increase is inevitable. The price range of the newly listed 5 new cars was finally set at 29.59-35.33 million yuan, of which the price of two 1.3T models was 29.59-310,900 yuan, and the price of the code 220 model was 33.09-35.33 million yuan, which was 5,000 yuan higher than the price threshold of the old model, and whether the preferential quota at the beginning could continue to be maintained or two, the price increase should still be paid to a certain extent.
After all, it is a revamp, and the interior and exterior decoration are expected
The positioning of the new 5 models is a small makeover, which is quite clear, so just fine-tuning the interior and exterior decoration is the expected result.
First look at the styling, the new GLB is still the stable and stable classic Mercedes-Benz SUV look, not to mention how fashionable, but the slightly boxy design will not be in the visual effect of the pull. When it comes to changes, it is in the details, such as the adjustment of the details of the internal light cavity of the front and rear light groups, and the support of high-end models with optional geometric multi-beams. If you don't look closely, you may not be able to detect it at all.
The interior part of the change is also not much, but the relative appearance is more. The suspension double screen is still the visual core of the entire center console, which has not changed, but the three-dimensional effect of the new product central control design has been slightly improved in the details of the curved design. Of course, this improvement is also in the details, and can be directly equated with the previous model.
Strength increases slightly with configuration
The interior and exterior decoration have not changed much, and the configuration part must be strengthened, otherwise it is only the introduction of three 2.0T models, and the sincerity of the change is a bit thin.
The upgrade of the lighting part has been mentioned earlier, and will not be repeated here. The focus of the comfort improvement is that the new GLB has optimized the angle and ergonomics of the rear seats of the 200 and 220 models, which has improved comfort, while the high-end model also supports seat heating, which is still no problem to meet daily use.
The intelligent part is the upgrade on the MBUX system as the focus, in addition to the learning ability prompt, the deep integration of domestic local resources such as AutoNavi maps, the use of habits is more in line with the preferences of the Chinese people. In addition, in terms of assisted driving, including ACC cruise with intelligent pilot distance limit function, active brake assist system, HUD head-up display and even intelligent parking with 360-degree camera, etc. are equipped on many models, and the playability and functionality of intelligent driving are still relatively sufficient.
Taste of the car:
The Mercedes-Benz GLB, which is positioned as a compact SUV, was not optimistic at first, with a 1.3T engine, a length of less than 4.7 meters, but three rows of seats under the hard stuffing, etc. are the points where the GLB was complained about. But in fact, the sales volume of 6,000 units per month is also the second-selling SUV model of Beijing Benz. This is also the root cause of the recent upgrade of the GLB. After this upgrade, the first two slots have been completed, the power is no longer a short board, but the ensuing price increase may become the next sales increase in the roadblock, I don't know, Mercedes-Benz will not make a fuss on the discount, so that GLB sales, come more fully.
