Comparison: Boot space Mercedes-Benz GLB vs. competitors 2025

How much cargo can handle this medium SUV?

The Mercedes-Benz GLB is a versatile compact SUV that has been making waves for its outstanding boot space. With the ability to accommodate a variety of cargo loads, it's rapidly becoming a favorite among those who need both luxury and utility. The latest GLB offers a boot space of 570 liters with the rear seats up and a cavernous 1805 liters with the rear seats folded. This makes it a perfect choice for anyone who might need to transport large items or go on extended road trips with a lot of baggage.

Mercedes-Benz GLB - How has the boot space changed over the generations?

Let's take a stroll down memory lane to see how the boot space has evolved in the GLB over time. From 2019 to 2023, the GLB boasted a boot space of 570 liters and could expand to 1805 liters with the seats down. However, with the 2023 facelift, Mercedes-Benz decided to tweak things a bit, resulting in a slightly reduced boot space of 565 liters and 1800 liters with the seats folded. While the difference is marginal, it’s clear Mercedes-Benz is constantly refining their models to maximize every inch of available space.
