Mercedes-Benz AMG GLB: X247 vs X247 Facelift
Verdict
At RM363,137 versus RM418,888, the Mercedes-Benz AMG GLB X247 is RM55,751 cheaper and is actually quicker to 100 km/h, taking 5.2 seconds against the facelift’s 5.5 seconds. The facelift keeps the same 1,991 cc engine, 302 hp, 400 Nm, wet dual-clutch auto, AWD layout and 250 km/h top speed, but adds a 1.0 kWh hybrid battery and doubles the warranty from two to four years. The big practical swing is boot space: 130 litres plays 570 litres.
Pick the Mercedes-Benz AMG GLB X247 if you want the lower price, the quicker 5.2-second sprint and can live with the shorter two-year warranty.
Pick the Mercedes-Benz AMG GLB X247 Facelift if the four-year warranty, 1.0 kWh hybrid system and much larger quoted 570-litre boot matter more than the RM55,751 saving.
