The sweet spot in the Mercedes-Benz lineup for many drivers around Plymouth, Hanover, and Braintree, MA, often tends to be the 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLB SUV. Because of the SUV’s versatile size and all the luxury appointments you would expect from such a premium brand, it’s as charming of a family option as it is for solo owners.
There are various versions of the SUV, however, which is why this overview is about the 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLB MPG rating. Once you determine the right version, you can find the model in our Mercedes-Benz of Hanover inventory.
We’ll start with the standard version of the 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLB SUV, which happens to be the 250. This version of the SUV follows the same performance ethos as the other trims: a combination of enjoyable, usable power and everyday efficiency.
The 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLB 250 SUV utilizes a 2.0L inline-4 turbo motor boasting 221 horsepower. The 0 to 60 MPH dash takes 6.9 seconds. The sole transmission offering is an 8G-DCT 8-speed dual-clutch automatic, which, thanks to some savvy tuning from German engineers, delivers a strong EPA-estimated fuel economy of 24 city and 32 highway MPG.1
In the middle of the trim lineup for this luxury SUV sits the 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLB 4MATIC®® iteration, which has a slight alteration in the fuel economy compared to the base version. EPA-estimates for this trim level come in at 22 city and 30 highway MPG.1
One thing this version of the SUV shares with the base trim is the ECO Start/Stop system. What the system does is shut off your engine when you come to a complete stop and are holding the brake pedal down. The engine remains off, conserving fuel, until you release the pedal, when it springs back to life.
At the top of the 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLB lineup sits the Mercedes-AMG® GLB35 SUV. Adding an extra dash of power, this version of the model doesn’t give up much in the way of fuel economy.
The EPA-estimates for this version of the SUV come in at 20 city and 27 highway MPG.1 The 2022 Mercedes-AMG® GLB35 uses an AMG®-enhanced version of the same engine and transmission as the other trims, yet output is ramped up to 302 horsepower for a 0 to 60 MPH dash of just 5.1 seconds!
