Which trim is worth it

GLB 250

Worth it

The GLB 250 offers a balanced mix of standard features and performance. It provides a good entry point into the Mercedes-Benz luxury experience without overwhelming costs.

GLB 250 4MATIC

Worth it

For those needing enhanced traction and stability, especially in Canadian winters, the GLB 250 4MATIC is worth the upgrade. The all-wheel-drive system adds confidence in various driving conditions.

GLB 35 AMG

Probably skip

While the GLB 35 AMG offers increased performance and sportier features, the price jump may not justify the benefits for those primarily seeking a luxury compact SUV for everyday use.
