Recently, the annual facelift model of the Mercedes-AMG GLB 35 4MATIC was officially launched, with an official guide price set at 469,100 yuan. Compared with the previous model, the new car's price has been slightly increased by 5,400 yuan, a change mainly resulting from adjustments to configuration and powertrain details.
In terms of exterior, the new car continues the overall design of the current model, featuring AMG's signature vertical-slat grille at the front and continuing to offer the AMG Night Package. The wheels are standard 20-inch AMG twin five-spoke units, while customers can also opt for 21-inch AMG multi-spoke light-alloy wheels paired with red brake calipers. Body dimensions remain unchanged from before, with length, width and height of 4,658 mm, 1,845 mm and 1,662 mm respectively, a wheelbase of 2,829 mm, and a trunk capacity of 570 liters in the normal state.
Inside, the new car still features a dual 10.25-inch connected screen and the MBUX intelligent interaction system, while the steering wheel is wrapped in Nappa leather and integrates AMG control units. The notable configuration change for this facelift is that the previously optional Driving Assistance Package Plus system is now listed as standard equipment; this system offers L2-level assisted driving capabilities, covering functions such as full-speed adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist. In addition, the new car adds a fingerprint scanner and offers the Energizing comfort function as an optional item.
The powertrain continues to consist of a 2.0T turbocharged engine and a 48-volt mild hybrid system, with a maximum power of 225 kW and peak torque of 400 N·m. It is worth noting that the engine's output characteristics have been slightly adjusted: the maximum torque band has been moved earlier from the original 3,000-4,000 rpm to 2,500-4,000 rpm, an adjustment aimed at optimizing the vehicle's low-end torque response. The transmission remains an 8-speed dual-clutch gearbox, and the official 0-100 km/h acceleration time is 5.5 seconds.
In terms of seating layout, the new car comes standard with a 5-seat configuration and continues to offer an optional third row of seats to meet users' demand for a 7-seat layout. Overall, this facelift does not make major changes to the model; rather, while maintaining the original product framework, it carries out targeted upgrades to the assisted driving configuration and powertrain output characteristics.
