Mercedes GLB discontinued in India.

Mercedes India’s entry-level 7-seat SUV has been pulled off the shelves, as allocations for our market have stopped.

New-gen GLB reveal expected in 2026
India launch well after third-gen Mercedes CLA

While Mercedes-Benz has confirmed a new GLB is on the cards for India, it is unclear if the German brand means the facelift, or the new-gen model that is currently under development.

Not surprised since I think I’ve only seen one or two in the flesh on our roads. MB India really screwed the pooch by booting the B-Class in favour of this I feel. That too just when the market was beginning to appreciate cars like the B-Class

I understand that an SUV in every segment is a must but the GLB is not that much more practical compared to a GLA. I hope they forgo the new GLB in favour of the B-Class and just let the GLA keep doing it’s thing.

I have to agree with you here. B class was such a lovely vehicle. I would love to buy it even today.

The pricing just didn’t make sense. It was a Kodiaq competitor with an absurd price tag. But then again, which entry level luxury car even makes sense these days.

Main problem with this car was its price. The previous generation GLC was just 2-3 lacs more expensive than it. Oh common it is a GLB, pricing should be exactly between GLA and GLC but it wasn't, it was just a extended 7 seater GLA ( interior, suspension and all parts were same), just like Creta and Alcazar. I don't know what Merc was thinking pricing it close to GLC.

Secondly, design wise it was neither here nor there. It didn't look like 7 seater butch suv neither it looked like 5 seater good looking crossover and person spending 75 lacs wants looks man!

The Mercs, BMWs & Audis are forced to have much higher prices to keep their brand image. Sometimes it makes sense and sometimes it doesnt.

The B is a lovely car, most comfortable but I won't buy it unless I have a driver to drive me around.
