Whether you're traveling down Route 422 on your way to work or heading to the grocery store, you'll want to enjoy the journey for every mile. That's why many Berks County drivers are captivated by Mercedes-Benz, and when you have your eye on a compact SUV, the GLB is a must-see. As your Mercedes-Benz dealer near Reading, Mercedes-Benz of Lancaster wants to help you take to the streets in a vehicle that's luxurious yet practical with dazzling features to enhance the ride in every way. Let's take a look at the Mercedes-Benz GLB and see how it will revitalize the way you take on your drives through southern Pennsylvania and beyond.

A High-End Atmosphere

Maybe you're on your way to work and need a vehicle that can take you there in absolute comfort. This is exactly what you'll find inside the elegant confines of the GLB, with access to features like natural-grain wood accents, aluminum detailing, heated seats, and premium appointments surrounding you. You can change the interior ambiance to suit your mood with standard 64-color ambient lighting, allowing you to relax with a soothing color palette or energize the ride home from work on a Friday night with vibrant hues. Power-adjustable supportive front seats allow you to sit back and truly relax during rush hour, while dual-zone climate control keeps you and your passengers cozy, whether you're coasting through a winter wonderland or cruising past Reading Pagoda on a balmy summer day.

New for 2024, the GLB includes showstopping exterior features to really draw a crowd. Its athletic build is accentuated by revamped bumpers and lighting elements to help it stand out even more than it already does. You'll also find various wheel designs and sizes to complete the look of this modern and mesmerizing machine. Its upright stance provides it with an assertive demeanor, while sleek body lines soften it just enough so that it doesn't quite intimidate you. Its small stance makes it easy to get through traffic, fit into tight streetside parking spaces, and confidently head down the bustling Reading streets.

Beautifully Practical

Unlike many of its rivals, the GLB can be equipped with a third row of seats, which allows it to handle up to seven occupants comfortably. This makes it a top pick for those traveling with their kiddos or those who are frequently on carpool duty. It's this level of versatility that makes it such a winner for Reading drivers, especially those who need to be able to accommodate more people and gear without resorting to driving a large, cumbersome SUV. Not only is it spacious enough to cater to you and your passengers, but it's also extremely flexible, with its second row able to fold, slide, and recline to accommodate people, gear, or both.

When you need to carry more cargo, fold the rear seats down and enjoy up to 62 cu.ft. for everything from groceries and luggage to backpacks, strollers, and anything else that's traveling with you during any given day. With the ability to configure your cabin to meet your needs, whether you have two rows or three, the GLB packs a big punch in a small package, making it ideal for trips to City Park with the kids and their friends after school. It's difficult to find this amount of space for people and gear in a compact SUV, but the GLB provides it effortlessly, which is why we recommend this SUV for Reading drivers who need to be able to accommodate more.

Hybrid Assistance

As you're sailing past the Schuylkill River, you may be wondering if there's a way for you to harness better fuel efficiency, and when you trust your journey to the GLB, this is a given. New for 2024, the GLB is assisted by hybrid engineering, which makes for unmatched efficiency as you travel around Reading. This compact SUV is equipped with a 2.0L four-cylinder engine, which is now paired with a 48-volt mild-hybrid system to elevate its fuel economy ratings, making it a great pick for local commuters. Not only is the 2024 GLB able to get an EPA-estimated 25 MPG in the city and 33 MPG on the highway, but it's also exciting to drive, with 221 horses urging it forward.[a]

This dynamic engine is matched with a dual-clutch eight-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters to allow you to take control of your journey down the highway. You're even able to take advantage of several drive modes to tailor your drive to suit the situation. From drivetrain to steering to suspension, crafting the ideal ride is possible on board the GLB. For those who want to have exceptional peace of mind during inclement weather, opting for the available 4MATIC® all-wheel drive will help you take on daunting journeys with optimal traction and stability. Controlling front and rear torque, you'll be able to take on any weather or road condition safely when the GLB is in charge of your experience.
