Mercedes-Benz GLB has a high degree of popularity after entering the domestic market, but sales can only be regarded as average. Most people like this model because of its appearance, and the reason for not choosing this model is because of its power. Since this model entered the domestic market, the consecutive 2020 models and 2021 models have only provided 1.3T power options.
This makes many groups who pursue a relatively high power of the model unable to choose the power output they want, so as to give up on including this model in their choice range. Taking this into account, or because of the increasing competitive pressure in the domestic auto market, Mercedes-Benz GLB has added a new 2.0T displacement after updating to the 2022 model, but it still retains the 1.3T displacement, which improves the optional space in terms of power.
Although the model provides two displacements, it is divided into three kinds of power, even if it is a small displacement of 1.3T, it also gives a high and low power distinction. Mercedes-Benz GLB, like most German models, uses a digital code to distinguish the power of the model in the version, and the 1.3T displacement is divided into two series codes, namely 180 and 200.
The model version of the 180 series has 136 Ps +200 N m in terms of power, and the model version of the 200 series has 163 Ps +250 N m in terms of power. Although the Mercedes-Benz GLB is a compact SUV, its wheelbase reaches 2829 mm, especially when the vehicle is fully loaded, the power-driven body effect of the 180 series is not very ideal, and even slightly difficult when climbing. Although the power of the 200 series is not very difficult to drive the body, it still cannot give users the speed experience they want.
2.0T displacement series code name is 220, the use of 2.0T turbo engine, power gives 190 Ps + 300 N m, although it belongs to the low power of 2.0T displacement, but compared to the 1.3T displacement is too much better, at least 220 to the model of the torque is high enough, can provide the model with sufficient re-acceleration ability, and the arrival of 2.0T displacement also for Mercedes-Benz GLB to increase part of the product competitiveness.
If you look at the exterior design of this model alone, its image is attractive enough, and the Mercedes-Benz three-pronged star logo all over the body alone is enough to make people flock to it. The family design inherited by Mercedes-Benz GLB is mainly streamlined and capable, but the visual effects presented have a good sense of refinement, which can meet the aesthetics of most people.
The grille of the front face of the Mercedes-Benz GLB and the lower airflow drain have been added as decorative parts, and this type of material and the visual effect created incorporate the sporty element, which is also the type that young people like. The headlights don't have a large size and sharp shape, but with the blackened trim on the lower layer, it balances the layout uniformity of the front face.
The roof is equipped with an external luggage rack as standard, which adds the ability to upgrade the model, and users can choose to install an external luggage according to their actual needs. In addition to the 200 dynamic and 200 fashionable models, the remaining model versions are equipped with electric rear tailgates, if you want the trunk induction opening function, you can spend 600 yuan to choose to add.
At present, mercedes-benz GLB offers a five-seat layout as well as a seven-seat layout to choose from, and the wheelbase of the model reserves plenty of space for it, but the three-row seat layout of the seven-seater model is slightly cramped in terms of rear space and can be used as an emergency. If you don't need a seven-seater model, it is recommended to choose a five-seat layout, which will have plenty of space.
summary:
For a model, the flexible selection ability lays a market share foundation for it, and users can choose the corresponding model version according to their different needs. Therefore, the optional capabilities given by Mercedes-Benz GRB this time also laid the foundation for its future sales. Users can choose the seven-seat version or five-seat version according to their own needs, and even choose from the power, the SUV structure of the model itself makes its chassis have better passability, so this model also has a wider range of scene applications, whether in the city, or in the outdoor travel, are more suitable.
