Dealers here are waiting anxiously for the GLB due to a lot a GLK owners who don’t like the GLC’s rounded look. This GLB is going to be a massive hit, it will be right in the thick of the market.

I agree that the EQC is too round but I find the GLC to be a best balance between "new" and "old" Mercedes. It's not too boxy like the G-Class but neither too comical and overdesigned like the outgoing CLA. The facelift of the GLC will refresh the front and rear but overall I consider it a fresh design fit for its audience.

2020 Mercedes AMG GLB 35: Your Hot 301HP Compact SUV Is Almost Ready

Mercedes continues the development of the high-performance AMG GLB 35 compact SUV, with testing now taking place in much colder climates.

The rugged and more practical sibling of the upcoming Mercedes GLA is getting dialed in with plenty of AMG goodies, including the turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder powertrain that debuted in the A35, kicking out 301hp (306PS) and 295lb-ft (400Nm) of torque.

Power will go to all four wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, with the all-wheel drive system being a revised version of that in the previous A45 AMG. A model-specific adaptive suspension and a range of chassis reinforcements will make sure the 2020 AMG GLB 35 offers more agility and sharper responses.

The exterior of the faster GLB will feature a full AMG costume that includes model-specific bumpers -with bigger air intakes at the front-, an AMG front grille, fatter side sills, bigger wheels and dual exhaust tips coming out the rear.

We’ve seen the interior in previous scoops, and it looks pretty much the same with the A-Class hatchback.

This is by no means a bad thing, as the compact Mercedes has been universally praised for its high-tech ambience inside, with highlights to include a minimalist design and Mercedes’ fresh MBUX infotainment system that employs two big digital displays.

We still don’t know if Mercedes will give the GLB the full AMG 45 treatment, which is expected to debut with the A-Class hatchback this year offering over 400hp and a new ‘drift-mode’.

Mercedes is expected to reveal the all-new GLB this summer, with the AMG 35 version to follow shortly after.

Nice, handsome overall shape. The problem i have is that mercedes seems stuck in neutral on front end design. The headlamps aren't even consistent with the new trimmer look. The trend is to really tighten up the lens and give it strong visual interest. This has none. I mean zip, nada.
The quirky shoulder line at the rear is just a distraction.

GLB35. It's time to reveal this now, the regular and the AMG version. These are going to print money for MB.

This is going to be a good looking little trucklet.

In terms of size, is this GLB smaller or the same as old GLK?

Just by looking at the pictures I suppose that the GLB is at least 15 cm longer

The Concept GLB is expected in Shanghai.

I don't know why they are bothering with a concept when we have seen so much of the production vehicle and we have a good idea what it will look like. This concept will set up false expectations. Just show the production vehicle.

Old habits I guess.

Sketch looks cool, but production interior won't look like that. Will just be a B-Class.

Very ugly looking so far. Ugly boxy econobox proportions, MB unworthy.

It makes a lot more sense than the X2 which is cramped, firm and has a dated interior.

7 seats will make the GLB a sales success. Other 7 seat premium cars like the GLE, X5 and Q7 will be twice as expensive.
