The Mercedes-Benz GLB is packed full of safety equipment as standard, so you can rest assured that you and your family are in safe hands. A highlight is the active bonnet that detects a collision with a pedestrian and raises by 65mm, keeping vulnerable body parts away from the hard bits of the engine.
Lane-keeping assist is standard across all models, while electronic stability programmes with acceleration skid control are also included, alongside traffic sign recognition although the latter is fitted to higher spec models only. When tested by Euro NCAP, the Mercedes GLB was awarded the full five-star rating, reflecting its impressive active and passive safety specifications.
Practicality is also a strong point for the GLB. With seven seats, there is plenty of room for all the family and, if you use just five seats there’s a pleasingly large boot. It’ll take 570 litres of cargo so you’ll not struggle to pack in everything you might need. With a 180-degree rearview camera and, in most models, all-around parking sensors, you’ll know where the corners are, making driving easy and stress-free.
