2020 Mercedes-Benz GLB 250 vs GLB 250 4MATIC®* vs 2021 Mercedes-AMG® GLB 35

The all-new 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLB SUV certainly stirred things up here in Peoria, AZ. But did you know it has an AMG® trim? That’s right! We branch out from the 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLB 250 and GLB 250 4MATIC®* to find the 2021 Mercedes-AMG® GLB 35. Let’s see how all three of these trims differ from each other.

To begin, we expect a power boost in any AMG® vehicle compared to the non-AMG® models. The 2021 AMG® GLB 35 doesn’t disappoint. It has a powerful 2.0-liter 4-cylinder turbo engine that pumps out 302 horsepower and 295 lb.-ft. of torque. Even so, if you are ready to drive a vehicle a little less powerful, the GLB 250 and GLB 250 4MATIC®* both still have a sporty 221 hp and 258 lb.-ft. of torque.

Whether you decide to get the GLB 250, GLB 250 4MATIC®*, or the new AMG® trim, your drive is bound to be luxurious and exhilarating. There are plenty of technologies to make this happen, including things like the Mercedes-Benz User Experience system, which gives you natural-language voice control and a touchscreen display.

However, here are a few upgrades you might want to look at with the AMG® trim of the GLB. This includes the AMG® DYNAMIC SELECT® system, different AMG®-specific display screen styles, and the RACE START® system. However, one of the main perks the GLB offers is its compact body style with 3^rd-row seating. This perk is optional on all of the GLB models, and allows you to enjoy a smaller SUV without giving up the convenient extra row.
