Mercedes-Benz has relaunched its GLB sports utility vehicle in South Africa and it is so nice to drive that you might want to reconsider your love for luxury sedans. | Wheels24
Mercedes-Benz South Africa is relaunching the GLB in South Africa, with two models - the 220d and 250 - followed by the GLB35 AMG in the third quarter of 2022. Stock challenges remain an issue for premium carmakers. However, now that GLB stock shortages seem to be a thing of the past, the company is confident that more South Africans will opt to live larger in life.
The GLB 220d is the only one available with an all-wheel-drive system in SA until the GLB35 AMG arrives later this year. It's a neat system that reacts quickly to changes in traction and lets you carry respectable speeds of tar and dirt. We had no issues with traction, handling or braking. We threw some of the launch cars around the old Zwartkops drive-in in a makeshift slalom course and were impressed with how well the vehicle maintained its composure.
Although we love the C-Class and the fact that it's locally made and contributes to the local economy and job security, we can't help but feel like the GLB outguns it.
