Mercedes-Benz GLB Discountinued In India; Hereโ€™s Why

Mercedes-Benz has officially dropped the GLB SUV in India as all allocations for the Indian market have been sold out. It was imported into the country as a Completely Built Unit (CBU) from the brandโ€™s Mexico facility. The German manufacturer is expected to bring the facelifted GLB to India by 2026.

Launched in December 2022, the GLB was Mercedesโ€™ entry-level 7-seater SUV, which was positioned against the likes of the Land Rover Discovery Sport. It was available in three variants: GLB 200 Progressive, 220d 4Matic and 220d AMG Line 4Matic, with both petrol and diesel engine options. The petrol unit was a 1.3-litre, 4-cylinder turbocharged mill (165PS/250Nm) with cylinder deactivation technology. It was mated to a 7-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive system. On the other hand, the diesel motor was a 190PS/400Nm 2-litre unit, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. Depending on the variant, it was offered with both front wheel drive and all-wheel-drive (AWD) system.

Before being axed, the GLB was priced between Rs 63.80 lakh and Rs 71.80 lakh (ex-showroom, pan-India).

Regarding features, it was loaded with two 10.25-inch displays (one instrument cluster and the other for the infotainment), power-adjustable front seats with memory function, a wireless phone charger, dual-zone auto AC, ambient lighting, a panoramic sunroof, a slide & recline function for rear seats, multiple airbags, a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), active brake assist and parking assist.

Mercedes Benz GLB discontinued in India

Readers must note that its electric derivative, the Mercedes-Benz EQB, continues to be on sale. In fact, it also received a mid-life facelift update last year, which comprised minor design changes and the introduction of a new 5-seater version. Currently, it is priced between Rs 72.20 โ€“ 78.90 lakh (ex-showroom).
