The Mercedes-Benz GLB now has an AMG® trim for its 2021 model. But should you go for this new AMG® 35 trim, or will you stick with the 2021 Mercedes-AMG® GLE 43? Let’s take a look at these two models and see which one you might want to pick.
2021 Mercedes-AMG® GLB 35 |
Vs |
2021 Mercedes-AMG® GLE 53 Coupe |
302 hp & 295 lb.-ft. | Horsepower & Torque | 429 hp & 384 lb.-ft. |
5.1 seconds | 0-60 mph acceleration speed | 5.2 seconds |
155 mph | Top Speed | 130 mph (electronically limited) (155 mph with optional summer tires) |
Yes | Offroad capabilities? | No |
While the Mercedes-Benz GLE does have more horsepower and torque than the GLB, it is important to note the GLB is smaller, and therefore has less bulk to heft around. So, it can actually accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour in only 5.1 seconds, whereas the GLE Coupe actually is .1 seconds slower. So, if you are looking to squeeze every bit of speed out of your vehicle, you might actually want to go with the AMG® GLB over the AMG® GLE. Likewise, you’ll see a higher top speed in the AMG® GLB 35 over the electronically limited 130 mph in the GLE, though if you do opt for the summer tires on the GLE this top speed evens out.
There are plenty of other perks you can find in your Mercedes-Benz SUV, including popular features such as the AMG® DYNAMIC SELECT® drive programs, which include Comfort, Slippery, Individual, Sport, and Sport+.
