How much cargo can handle this medium SUV?

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.

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.

The difference in Boot space between first generation (GLB 247) from 2019 and last generation (GLB 247 (1. Facelift)) from 2023 is 5 l.
The boot space of the current generation of GLB is 570 l.

The boot space compared to other Mercedes-Benz models

Within the broader Mercedes-Benz lineup, the GLB proudly sits as one of the top contenders for boot space. It outpaces models like the EQA and the CLA Coupé, which offer 340 liters and 440 liters respectively. Even the V-Class, which is almost synonymous with space, trails behind in terms of default boot space at 495 liters. Only larger SUVs and crossovers like the GLC and GLE surpass the GLB, but for a compact SUV, the GLB holds its own quite commendably.
