2024 Mercedes-Benz GLB (X247, facelift 2023) Dimensions, Size & Specs

The width of the 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLB varies slightly between 1834 mm and 1845 mm (72.2 to 72.6 inches) when measured without mirrors. When the side mirrors are open, the width increases to 2020 mm (79.5 inches). This width measurement indicates the SUV’s balance of cabin space and maneuverability in tight spaces.

The height of the Mercedes-Benz GLB (2024 facelift) ranges from 1665 mm to 1697 mm (65.6 to 66.8 inches). The differences in height may be influenced by factors such as roof rails, suspension settings, or optional equipment, contributing to a commanding yet stable SUV profile.

The curb weight of the 2024 GLB ranges between 1565 kg and 1745 kg (3450 to 3847 lbs), depending on the variant and options. In terms of maximum weight capacity, it can handle between 2140 kg and 2320 kg (4717 to 5115 lbs). These figures highlight the GLB's robust SUV construction, with ample capacity for passengers and cargo combined.

With all rear seats in use, the 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLB offers a luggage capacity of between 565 and 570 liters (approximately 20 to 20.1 cubic feet). When the rear seats are folded down, this expands dramatically to between 1800 and 1805 liters (about 63.5 to 63.7 cubic feet), making the GLB highly versatile for families or cargo hauling.

The GLB (X247 facelift) features a ride height or ground clearance of 135 mm (5.3 inches). This clearance supports mild off-road capability, while still being manageable for everyday city driving and parking. It strikes a balance between ruggedness and ease of access for passengers.

The 2024 GLB’s dimensions make it suitable for fitting into most standard residential garages. With a maximum length of 4650 mm (183.1 inches) and width including mirrors at 2020 mm (79.5 inches), it is advisable to measure your garage space, particularly width, to ensure comfortable door clearance. Its compact length and moderate height (up to 1697 mm / 66.8 inches) generally allow easy indoor parking in typical suburban garages.

The facelifted 2024 GLB (X247) maintains a similar size profile to its predecessor, with minor refinements in dimensions for slight increased length and height depending on trim. While the original GLB emphasized compactness with functional space, the facelift introduces a subtly larger footprint (up to 4650 mm length compared to slightly shorter before) and improved interior packaging to enhance comfort without compromising its urban SUV agility. Curb weight marginally increased due to added tech and safety features, reflecting a progression toward premium capability.

The Mercedes-Benz GLB sits competitively between compact SUVs like the BMW X1 and Audi Q3 in terms of dimensions. With length ranging from 4634 to 4650 mm (182.4 to 183.1 inches), it is slightly longer than the typical BMW X1 (approx. 4,447 mm / 175 inches) and Audi Q3 (approx. 4,484 mm / 176.5 inches). The GLB’s width with mirrors (2020 mm / 79.5 inches) is also comparable or slightly wider, offering roomy interiors. Furthermore, its taller height up to 1697 mm (66.8 inches) supports more interior headroom and optional third-row seating, which some rivals lack, giving the GLB an edge in space versatility.

The 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLB offers several rim sizes including 6.5J x 17, 7.5J x 18, and 7.5J x 19 inches. Tires offered range from 215/65 R17 to 235/50 R19, and 235/55 R18. Smaller rims with higher-profile tires (like 17-inch rims with 215/65 tires) provide a more comfortable ride with better absorption of road irregularities. Larger rims (19-inch) paired with lower profile tires improve handling and aesthetics but may slightly reduce comfort on rough roads. These options allow buyers to tailor the ride quality and visual appeal to their preferences.
