Mercedes-Benz Greece has officially launched pre-orders for its new GLB model, a versatile SUV that now offers both fully electric and electrified gasoline engine options.
This new iteration of the GLB stands out in its segment by providing seating for either five or seven passengers, a feature not commonly found across many competitors. The introduction of electric powertrains marks a significant step for the model, catering to the growing demand for sustainable mobility.
The fully electric range initially includes the GLB 250+ Electric and GLB 350 4MATIC Electric. A more accessible entry-level option, the GLB 200 Electric, is slated for a later release. These electric variants are equipped with an 85 kWh usable battery capacity and operate on an 800-volt electrical architecture.
A key highlight of the electric models is their rapid charging capability. Under ideal conditions, the vehicles can achieve a charging speed of up to 320 kW, allowing for an estimated range recovery of 260 kilometers in just 10 minutes.
For those opting for the hybrid versions, pricing starts at 49,960 euros. The availability of both electric and hybrid powertrains offers consumers a choice tailored to their driving needs and environmental preferences.
