Start of the test period for the future Mercedes GLB which will also exist in electric form

Development period for the new Mercedes Glb, or rather Mercedes GLB EV, since it is the electric version which was photographed by our scoop hunters. These have immortalized, this GLB EV which has the new MMA platform (for Mercedes-Benz Modular Architecture), a technical base that the SUV shares with the new Mercedes CLA.

If the future Mercedes GLB EV has one or more electric engines, the brand with the star, given the sales of electric vehicles which are having a little difficulty taking off, is not going to ignore thermal engines, as for the Mercedes CLA. This is why there will be a Mercedes GLB “thermal” which should use all or part of the engines of the current generation and perhaps it will be equipped with a 2.0 turbo engine from Renault/Geely?

The MMA multi-energy base will allow Mercedes to maintain a substantial range of thermal engines before switching completely to electric for the European market.

Possibility of recovering 400 km of autonomy in 15 minutes!

For the electric version, the use of the MMA platform, which is multi-energy, will allow you to benefit from an 800 volt architecture, guarantee of better performance, particularly with regard to recharging. We can in fact recharge up to 320 kW at the most efficient charging stations. This will allow you to recover 400 km of autonomy in less than fifteen minutes!

As for the future Mercedes CLA, the 800 volt architecture of the MMA base will allow rapid charging. An essential fact to attract heavy riders.

Mercedes wants big drivers to invest in electric vehicles

The scoop hunters were also able to photograph the interior of the vehicle, where a range of 291 km was displayed on the digital instrumentation screen, without however knowing what level of charge the battery was at at that time. that moment. Regardless, Mercedes does everything to ensure that its electric vehicles have the best possible range, as the German brand's customers are often heavy drivers.

If the rear lights are completely false, we can see in the front headlights, the LEDs which form a star, this is now the light signature of the new Mercedes models.

Full camouflage lets virtually nothing through

The Mercedes GLB EV is not expected to hit the market until 2026, and there is still plenty of time for development of this model to be completed. As for the style of the model, it's difficult to get an idea at this stage, especially since the camouflage is full, that the rear lights really don't have, it's very visible, nothing definitive. So we will wait to find out more.
