Ahead of Next Month’s Unveiling

Mercedes is about to pull the plug on the current GLB, though it won't be left without a spacious premium compact crossover, as the second-generation model is right around the corner and will debut in no time.
Caught testing yet again in the open, it looks pretty much like an evolution of its predecessor. It sports very similar proportions, has a completely new front fascia that appears to look way softer than the current one, and a back end that is home to a pair of vertical taillights, likely linked by a thin light strip that spans across the entire width of the tailgate. The profile has remained similar, though keep in mind that everything is new.
Yes, that includes the construction, as the new 2026 Mercedes-Benz GLB will utilize the same MMA platform as the latest CLA. Reports indicate that hybrid assistance will be a thing, likely combining a 1.5L mill with a 1.3 kWh battery pack, and an eight-speed automatic transmission with dual clutch and an integrated motor. Some say that the range-topping AMG will also benefit from hybrid assistance, and if you forgot, the next GLB will also be offered with electric power.
