Mercedes Debuts Electric‑First GLB on MMA With Orders Open for Spring 2026 Delivery

Orders begin in Europe ahead of first arrivals next spring to signal Mercedes’ shift toward electric models in the compact family SUV class.

Neben dem Design überzeugen auch die moderne Innenausstattung sowie die verbaute Technik.
Mercedes zündet die nächste Stufe seiner Elektrifizierungsstrategie – und schickt den neuen CLA Hybrid ins Rennen.

Overview

  • Two battery‑electric versions launch first: GLB 250+ (RWD, 200 kW) and GLB 350 4Matic (AWD, 260 kW), each using an 85 kWh usable battery.
  • WLTP range is quoted at up to 631 km for the 250+ and up to 614 km for the 350, with peak DC charging up to 320 kW and roughly 260 km added in 10 minutes.
  • AC charging is 11 kW as standard with 22 kW optional, and using 400‑volt DC fast chargers requires an optional DC converter.
  • Germany pricing starts at €59,048 for the 250+ and €62,178 for the 350; five‑ or seven‑seat layouts, a 127‑liter frunk, and up to 2,000 kg towing are offered.
  • MB.OS with the latest MBUX adds an AI Virtual Assistant integrating ChatGPT4o, Microsoft Bing, and Google Gemini/Maps, while Mercedes says hybrid and combustion versions will follow as coverage highlights efficiency tradeoffs versus the CLA and competition from the Smart #5.
