All New 2026 Mercedes GLB First Look

The next-gen Mercedes GLB will offer both ICE and EV variants, debuting in 2026.
It will utilize the brand’s new MMA platform and feature an 800v electric architecture.
The SUV will provide a 466-mile range, with DC fast charging adding 248 miles in 15 minutes.
Mercedes-Benz is working on both ICE and EV versions of the next-generation GLB, and the electric variant has been spotted testing for for the first time. It’s expected to hit the market in 2026 and while it’ll have a similar boxy shape to the outgoing model, it will have all-new underpinnings.
This prototype may be covered in camouflage, but some black tape across the front end hints at the shape of the new grille. Whereas the current GLB has a single horizontal slat across the grille, this new one appears to have three, but importantly, the grille itself doesn’t appear to be any bigger.
The new headlights include LED daytime running lights shaped like a three-pointed star, mimicking a design first previewed by the CLA Concept, which will become a common styling trait among every next-gen Mercedes model. Elsewhere, a panoramic glass roof is visible on this prototype, as are silver roof rails. All New 2026 Mercedes GLB First Look @ariymotoshow220
