At the heart of the 2025 GLB 250 and GLB 250 4MATIC SUVs is a 2.0L inline-4 turbocharged engine. This advanced engine delivers 221 horsepower at 5,500 rpm, giving you quick acceleration, confident merging, and smooth highway cruising. With a 0 to 60 mph time of just 6.9 seconds, it responds with energy when you need it most. For more efficiency and responsiveness, both models now feature mild hybrid technology. This system adds up to 13 horsepower through electric assist, helping the GLB feel quicker off the line while improving fuel economy.
The 8G-DCT 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission combines with the turbocharged engine to provide crisp, timely shifts, regardless of road conditions. You can also enjoy hands-free ease in automatic mode or switch to manual shifting with the steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters for a more engaged drive. This transmission’s design helps balance smoothness with sportiness in a way that feels intuitive on every road.
No matter your driving style or conditions, the GLB is ready to adapt. Thanks to DYNAMIC SELECT drive modes, you can adjust drivetrain response, steering weight, and available adaptive suspension settings to suit your preferences. You can choose from modes like Comfort, Sport, ECO, or Individual. This customizable system helps tailor your experience behind the wheel, whether you’re focused on fuel savings or a more dynamic drive.
The GLB 250 4MATIC SUV comes with the intelligent 4MATIC all-wheel drive for those seeking added traction. This system can adjust torque between the front and rear wheels to improve stability, traction, and control. It’s especially helpful in rain, snow, or on uneven terrain. Additionally, it includes a loose-surface driving mode, downhill speed regulation, and an off-road graphic display, making it a wise choice for weekend getaways or unexpected weather.
Beyond performance, the GLB’s design also influences how it drives. Wheel options range from standard 18-inch alloys to available 20-inch AMG® wheels with the AMG Night Package. This package adds bold accents and styling elements, giving the GLB a sportier presence. From the city to the mountains, the 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLB SUV delivers a confident performance that fits all lifestyles.
