Mercedes GLC 300 Vs. Mercedes GLB 250: Cargo and Passenger Space

Both of these luxury SUVs have room for 5 passengers to sit comfortably on their well-upholstered seats, though the GLB is a bit roomier with more front head and leg room, as well as more cargo space. The Mercedes GLB has a fold-down second row and an optional third row, for a maximum capacity of 7, making it perfect for larger families.

You won't have to worry about leaving anything at home for your next vacation when you take a pre-owned Mercedes GLB or pre-owned Mercedes GLC.

Mercedes GLB 250 Vs. Mercedes GLC 300: Technology and Safety Features

While all Mercedes models boast top-of-the-line technology, the higher price tag of the GLC 300 fetches better technology features and other enhancements. For example, the GLC 300 comes standard with heated seats and extra storage, which are available features in the GLB 250. The GLC 300 also comes with a larger standard touchscreen media display and an upgraded sound experience that uses the car's own body as a resonator, allowing for a richer sound.

Both of these SUVs feature plenty of on-board technology and active driver safety features, however:

  • MBUX system
  • Voice control
  • Bluetooth audio, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto compatibility
  • USB ports
  • Dual area climate control
  • and more!

Mercedes GLB 250 Vs. Mercedes GLC 300: Engine and Performance

Used models of both the GLB 250 and GLC 300 come equipped with a 2.0-L engine with fairly impressive horsepower and torque ratings. The GLC 300 edges out the GLB, but both can accelerate from 0–60 mph in fewer than 7 seconds.

As for transmissions, the Mercedes GLB 250 uses an 8-speed automatic and front-wheel drive. In contrast, the standard Mercedes GLC has 9 gears yoked to a rear-wheel drive system. In both SUVs, you can upgrade to a 4MATIC all-wheel drive system for extra traction and surety on any surface.
