As additional members of the SUV family with the three-pointed star, Mercedes released the GLB in 2019 and the all-electric EQB in 2021. Four years later, the ICE-powered GLB has reached the middle of its life cycle – so it’s about time for a facelift. And the same appears to be the case for the much younger EQB.
The spy shots clearly show where the construction sites are on the GLB Facelift. The front area with bumper, grille and headlights will undergo changes. At the rear you can see the taillights with camouflage, hinting to a new inner graphic there, too. Mercedes plans similar modifications for the EQB.
Neither GLB nor EQB will fall victim to the shrinking process of the model range in the compact class announced by Mercedes boss Ola Källenius. Four models will remain. While the death knell is ringing for the A-Class and B-Class, the CLA Coupé, CLA Shooting Brake, GLA and GLB remain in the Mercedes-Benz ICE model portfolio. Same goes for the EQA and EQB. In general, the SUV models play an important role for the inventor of the automobile. As lifestyle vehicles, they are popular with customers. The GLB and EQB are also additions to the Mercedes-Benz SUV portfolio. Since they offer space for up to seven people, they are positioned between the GLA and GLC or EQA and EQC respectively in the Mercedes-Benz model range.
