Our 2022 GLB vs. GLE comparison shows that both models are excellent options, but it’s important to note that the GLE is larger, more expensive, and more powerful in most configurations. If you’re looking for a compact SUV with an optional third row, then GLB is bound to feel like a perfect fit for your Rye and Stamford adventures! With that said, the 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLE can also seat up to seven—but it has even more to offer where features and engine options are concerned.

In the GLB, these features are either unavailable or require an upgrade.

GLB vs. GLE: Size & Dimensions

Make no mistake: although the new GLB and the new GLE both seat five as standard and offer an optional third row as an upgrade, the GLE is the larger SUV. Compare their dimensions here to see exactly what we mean:

  • Legroom of 41.1 inches (1st) and 38.1 inches (2nd)
  • 22.0 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row

Engine Options & Performance: GLB vs. GLE

The Mercedes-Benz GLB features a potent turbocharged four-cylinder engine that’s perfect for daily drives in Greenwich and New Canaan—and it also offers a stronger AMG® upgrade:

  • 2.0L inline-4 turbo – 221 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque
  • AMG®-enhanced 2.0L inline-4 turbo – 302 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque

Looking for even more power? The GLE offers a stronger standard engine, and its available engine upgrades are more powerful than anything you can get on a GLB:

  • 2.0L inline-4 turbo – 255 hp and 273 lb-ft of torque

It’s also important to note that the GLB is not rated to tow heavy cargo! The GLE, on the other hand, offers a towing capacity of up to 7,700 pounds! Although this rating can vary depending on the configuration you choose, you can hook up a trailer with any model.
