Mercedes continues with its strategy of renewal of compact models. This time it is the turn of the 2023 Mercedes GLB Facelift, which has been caught in a new spy video camouflaged very slightly and showing its new features. An interesting opportunity from which you will benefit from interesting news in the middle of next year.
It’s next on the list for mid-life partial renovations. The Mercedes GLB follows the path of the Class A, Class B and GLA already testing the improvements it will offer from mid 2023 when the facelift is unveiled. The star’s signature has been surprised in the surroundings of its research and development center in Sindelfingen, the true cradle where all the new models of the German brand are born.
The Mercedes GLB Facelift 2023 has been caught in an interesting spy video. The compact SUV, and more familiar, faces a much-needed renewal because, since its launch, its design was not one of the most acclaimed. Its front profile so vertical, the hood so horizontal and the style implemented in the front did not captivate as expected, so this will be one of the keys. Dressed in vinyl, you can already see that headlights slightly change their shape featuring the new daylight signature on the top edge.

The news of the Mercedes GLB Facelift 2023
The trait that all the compacts will present, losing the inner hook. The grill will also be remodeled, as will the bumper will feature new lines and redesigned air intakes. From behind, the camouflage is limited to the optical groups that, once again, will maintain their attractive shape but will change the graphic lighting, betting on a drawstring that will go around all the inside edges of the pilots. And although the bumper does not have camouflage, it will also receive some discreet improvements.
The 2023 GLB Facelift will also benefit from updates to the interior, focused on higher quality materials and a new version of the MBUX multimedia system that will offer faster operation. The steering wheel will also change, with a new design and with the multifunction controls now capacitivealso adding new equipment such as the gesture control -replacing the central tunnel touchpad, which we have already seen- and as a complement to voice control.
the suv, available with five and seven seats, will also share the novelties in terms of mechanics. Your thrusters will be optimized to improve power and torque delivery, although they will not experience an increase in benefits. What is expected is the arrival of the 48 Volt MHEV technology in versions with star engines, this is the 2.0-litre engine of the GLB 250 and GLB 220 d, both with 4MATIC all-wheel drive. In addition, the 8-speed automatic transmission will also be tuned for smoother running, as will the driving modes.
