Price of 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLB-Class in Nigeria, Reviews and Buying Guide

2022 Mercedes-Benz GLB For sale – Just like the swoopier, coupe-like GLA-class, the 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLB-class had the same luxury and equipment as most larger Benz SUVs in a more affordable package.

There is standard Touchscreen infotainment with Mercedes’s MBUX voice assistant and buyers can equip the GLB with even more tech features and driver-assistance features through various option packages. The only thing is that they will come at an extra cost.

New for the 2022 GLB model is the optional Premium package which now includes both SiriusXM satellite radio and a 115-volt power outlet.
