The Mercedes-Benz GLB and EQB SUVs have been launched in India with prices beginning at Rs. 63.8 lakh for the GLB and Rs. 74.5 lakh for the GLB electric SUV. As we already know, the GLB is a compact luxury seven-seater SUV positioned above the GLA in the luxury carmaker's range while the EQB is the first seven-seater offering in the luxury EV segment. The Mercedes-Benz EQB is also the brand's most affordable EV positioned below the EQC in the company's electric line-up. Both SUVs are being imported to India from Mexico, in-turn going on sale as a completely built unit (CBU).

The Mercedes-Benz GLB is offered offered in India with both diesel and petrol powertrain options and in three variants - GLB 220d 4Matic, GLB 220d and GLB 200. Those who are familiar with the brand's nomenclature will know that 'd' refers to the diesel iteration while latter is the petrol. The new Mercedes-Benz GLB 220d is powered by a 2.0-litre (1950 cc), four-cylinder, oil-burner belting out 188 bhp and 400 Nm of peak torque and is mated to an eight-speed automatic gearbox.
