Mercedes-Benz has rolled out the combustion-engine lineup of the new Mercedes-Benz GLB in Europe, now featuring 48V mild-hybrid tech across the range. At the core is a new 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine paired with a 22 kW electric motor integrated into an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission. The setup is offered in three power outputs—100 kW, 120 kW, and 140 kW—with both front-wheel and all-wheel drive options. Fuel efficiency ranges between 5.7 and 6.7 L/100 km (WLTP), making it more efficient without sacrificing usability.
