Exterior
The 2025 GLB 250 4MATIC offers a striking balance of elegance and practicality. Its upright lines maximize interior space while giving the exterior a robust and athletic appearance.

The AMG GLB 35, on the other hand, brings a more aggressive stance with AMG-specific body styling, a deeper front apron, and vertical grille bars. It rides on 19-inch AMG twin-spoke wheels, with options for 20- or 21-inch matte black alloys to match its dynamic character. The AMG Night Package adds blacked-out trim elements for an even sportier aesthetic, while aerodynamic enhancements like a rear spoiler and lower diffuser give it a track-inspired edge.
