The 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLB SUV took a bold step into the Mercedes-Benz SUV lineup. With a sporty design, solid power, and plenty of space, this model steps things up. But how does it compare against the familiar 2020 BMW X1? That’s what we are here to find out. Let’s take a closer look.

To begin, both models are remarkably similar in terms of horsepower and torque. They have the same 258 lb.-ft. of torque, though the BMW X1 does have 7 hp more than the GLB. Likewise, they are very similar with leg room, though this time the GLB has a bit more leg room than the BMW X1. However, if you are looking for technologies, you can get cooled and ventilated front seats, which you can’t get on the BMW X1. However, both of these models have off-road capabilities, so if that is a requirement then you can’t go wrong with either model.
