Mercedes-Benz GLB Lease Deals

The Mercedes-Benz GLB is a seven-seat premium SUV offered with a 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine or an 85 kWh electric powertrain with up to 380 miles of WLTP range. This page explains who the GLB suits, what each trim adds, and how to choose between petrol and electric before you pick a lease deal.

The Mercedes-Benz GLB is a seven-seat family SUV, and that is the whole point of it. It's about 4.73 m long, so it parks like a normal mid-size car, yet it carries three rows of seats and a 480-litre boot with the rear seats up.

In the Mercedes-Benz line-up it sits between the smaller GLA and the larger GLC, and it's the one that offers seven seats. The current GLB is the second-generation car, on sale in this form since 2026.

The choice is simple enough: one SUV body, two powertrains - a 1.5-litre turbo petrol or an 85 kWh electric - and six trims, from Sport up to AMG Line Premium plus.

About the Mercedes-Benz GLB

The GLB is the practical, square-shouldered member of Mercedes-Benz's smaller SUV family: seven seats as standard, a 480-litre boot behind the second row and 1,605 litres with the rear seats folded, backed by a three-year, unlimited-mileage manufacturer warranty.

Reviewers consistently praise the amount of usable space for the footprint, the calm ride and the quiet cruising manners, and they rate the electric version highly for its range and charging speed. The common criticism is interior design and material quality low down in the cabin, which divides opinion.

Road testers also make the point that the third row suits children and shorter adults rather than six-footers on a long trip - genuinely useful, but occasional seats.

Why lease a Mercedes-Benz GLB?

Because you get a lot of standard kit and a fixed monthly cost for a car that would otherwise be an expensive thing to own. Every GLB has seven seats, a fixed panoramic glass roof, heated front seats, keyless entry and start, built-in navigation and a digital instrument cluster.

Driver assistance is thorough across the range too: autonomous emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, lane-keep assist, automatic high beam, front and rear parking sensors and adaptive suspension are fitted to every version.

On the practical side, braked towing runs from 1,600 kg on petrol versions up to 2,000 kg on the strongest, and servicing falls due every 24 months or 18,650 miles. Worth checking your annual mileage against that before you set contract terms - our guide to choosing mileage, term and spec is a sensible starting point.

Which GLB powertrain is right for me?

Two choices: a 1.5-litre turbo petrol if you'd rather not think about charging, or the 85 kWh electric if you can charge at home or at work. Both are automatic, and both offer all-wheel drive.

Petrol

The 1.5-litre turbo produces between 134 bhp and 187 bhp through an eight-speed automatic, with front- or all-wheel drive depending on version. WLTP economy is 43.5-47.9 mpg and braked towing reaches 2,000 kg on the strongest versions - the choice if your mileage is high and unpredictable.

Electric

The electric GLB uses an 85 kWh battery with 268-349 bhp, rear- or all-wheel drive, and WLTP range of up to 380 miles. The best version rapid-charges from 10-80% in 22 minutes at 320 kW, or fully charges in nine hours on an 11 kW home supply. Our electric car guide covers the basics.

Which GLB trim should I choose?

Six trims, and the honest answer is that Sport already covers the essentials - the rest is about comfort, cabin tech and wheels.

Mercedes-Benz GLB FAQs

Yes. Seven seats are standard, there are five doors, and the boot holds 480 litres with the rear seats up or 1,605 litres folded. Reviewers rate the third row as best suited to children and shorter adults rather than tall grown-ups on long journeys.

Up to 380 miles on the WLTP test, depending on version - the range across the electric line-up is 350 to 380 miles from the 85 kWh battery. Expect less in cold weather or at sustained motorway speeds, as with any electric car.

The best version charges from 10-80% in 22 minutes at 320 kW on a suitable rapid charger, and from 0-100% in nine hours at 11 kW on AC. If you're new to home charging, our charging guide explains the practicalities.

It can. Braked towing is 1,500-2,000 kg depending on version, with 750 kg unbraked. A fixed towbar is a factory option on every trim, so it must be ordered with the car - tell us before the order goes in, because it can't be added later under the lease.

Three years with unlimited mileage, plus a two-year paintwork guarantee and six-year anti-corrosion cover. Electric versions add an eight-year or 100,000-mile battery warranty guaranteeing 70% of capacity. That comfortably covers a typical lease term.

It depends entirely on what's available at the time, and it isn't always the entry trim. Rentals move as stock and terms change, so check the live list - the Sport is currently from £589.13 a month. See all current GLB deals.
