Previously, the base version was considered to be the front-wheel drive GLB 200 with the same 1.3 engine, but with 163 hp.

The GLB 180 variant is slightly more economical and consumes 6 liters per 100 km in the combined cycle, instead of 6.2 l/100 km for the GLB 200. Acceleration to 100 km/h for the new model takes 9.9 seconds, which is 0.8 seconds slower than the GLB 200.

The Mercedes-Benz GLB 180 can already be ordered on the European market. This crossover reached Ukraine quite recently, and for now the base version here is the GLB 200 variant.
