Which variant to buy

Pick the GLB200 Progressive Line at RM290,888 if the draw is the GLB shape and seven-seat layout; it already gets petrol power and a wet dual-clutch automatic. The GLB250 AMG Line at RM341,888 asks RM51,000 more. That gap buys the larger 1,992 cc engine with 221 hp instead of the 1,332 cc 161 hp unit, plus AMG Line trim.

Verdict

The GLB’s pitch is very specific: seven seats in a compact Mercedes-Benz SUV, with a choice of 161 hp and 221 hp petrol drivetrains. It is expensive in its class; the entry GLB sits above the BMW iX2 and Volvo XC40 Recharge Electric, while Proton and Jetour rivals are much cheaper. Buy it for the packaging and badge, not because it is the cheapest way into a C-segment SUV.
