- 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLB facelift: Full Australian details
- Updated 7-seat mid-size SUV receives mild design revisions, more tech
- Price rises of up to $5900
The facelifted 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLB small SUV is now available to order in Australia.
Mirroring the updated A-Class launched in mid-2023, design changes include redesigned headlight internals, modified tail-lights, and new alloy wheel designs.
Inside, it features an AMG twin-spoke steering wheel, a simplified centre console with the touchpad removed and repositioned controls, along with an additional USB-C port.

While the current 10.25-inch MBUX infotainment system remains, it has been revised with new features, including wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and a higher-resolution 360-degree camera.
There are also newly designed display styles, machine learning, and the ability to speak to the voice assistant without saying 'Hey, Mercedes' first in some instances.
A fingerprint sensor on the centre console to identify and authenticate the driver is not available in Australia.

The GLB 35 receives the round AMG emblem to replace the Mercedes star with a laurel wreath that remains fixed to the bonnet on non-AMG variants.
Under the bonnet, all petrol engines – including the AMG 35 – are fitted with a 48-volt mild-hybrid system for the belt-driven starter generator.
This system brings an additional 10kW with faster acceleration, added refinement with low-noise engine starting and reduced vibration, and regenerative braking.
13
While the GLB 35 has unchanged outputs at 225kW and 400Nm, it receives an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, replacing the previous seven-speed unit.
Pricing for the GLB 200 has increased by $5900, while the GLB 250 AWD is up $3531. The AMG GLB 35 has increased by $431 compared to the pre-facelift version.
