Mercedes-Benz Memperkenalkan GLB Elektrik Serba Baharu

Mercedes-Benz secara rasmi telah memperkenalkan GLB generasi terbaharu, dan walaupun ia mengekalkan bentuk kotak serta karakter asalnya, hampir keseluruhan model ini telah melalui pembaharuan menyeluruh. Perubahan paling ketara ialah peralihan penuh kepada kuasa elektrik, menjadikan GLB baharu pengganti kepada EQB walaupun tidak lagi menggunakan penamaan “EQ”. Varian hibrid akan mengikuti kemudian, namun untuk peringkat awal, hanya pilihan elektrik sepenuhnya ditawarkan. Seperti sebelumnya, GLB hadir dalam konfigurasi lima atau tujuh tempat duduk.

Dua Varian Elektrik Pada Peringkat Pelancaran

GLB 250+ (Elektrik)
Varian ini dilengkapi bateri 85 kWh dengan seni bina 800 volt. Ia menggunakan satu motor elektrik di gandar belakang, menghasilkan 268 hp dan 335 Nm, bersama tambahan kuasa sementara sehingga 454 Nm. Model ini memecut 0–100 km/j dalam 7.4 saat dan menawarkan jarak pemanduan sehingga 630 km — antara yang terbaik dalam kelas SUV elektrik sederhana.

GLB 350 4Matic (Elektrik)
Versi lebih berkuasa ini menambah motor kedua di bahagian hadapan untuk pacuan semua roda. Kuasa keseluruhan meningkat kepada 349 hp dan 515 Nm. Prestasinya lebih pantas dengan pecutan 0–100 km/j dicapai dalam hanya 5.5 saat, sementara jarak pemanduan masih kukuh pada 615 km.

Mercedes-Benz Introduces All-New Electric GLB with More Space, More Tech and Two Powertrain Options

Mercedes-Benz has pulled the covers off the next-generation GLB, and while its familiar upright silhouette remains, almost everything else has been thoroughly reworked. The SUV enters its new chapter as a fully electric model, stepping in as a successor to the EQB despite wearing a different badge. Hybrid versions will come later, but the initial rollout focuses solely on battery power, available in both five- and seven-seat layouts.

The new GLB arrives with two variants at launch. The first is the GLB 250+ with EQ Technology, fitted with an 85 kWh lithium-ion battery and built around an 800-volt electrical system. Power is supplied by a single rear-mounted motor producing 268 hp and 335 Nm of continuous torque, with a short-lived boost function that temporarily increases output to 454 Nm. It manages the 0–100 km/h sprint in 7.4 seconds and offers a travel range of 630 km on a full charge, which places it right at the top of the segment for efficiency and usable distance.

Above it sits the more powerful GLB 350 4Matic with EQ Technology. This version adds a second motor at the front axle for all-wheel drive, raising total output to 349 hp and 515 Nm. Despite the bump in performance, its range dips only slightly to 615 km. The extra power drops the 0–100 km/h time to 5.5 seconds, giving the 4Matic variant some surprisingly lively acceleration for a family SUV.

Mercedes-Benz Unveils Vision Iconic — Redefining the Future of Luxury Mobility

Mercedes-Benz has introduced the Vision Iconic, a concept car that marks a new chapter in the brand’s design and technology direction. The show car blends the timeless elegance associated with Mercedes with modern electric and digital innovations, offering a preview of how the brand envisions the future of luxury motoring.

The most distinctive feature of the Vision Iconic is its illuminated “iconic grille,” inspired by classic models such as the 600 Pullman and W108.

The illuminated three-pointed star on the bonnet reinforces the car’s futuristic presence, combining tradition and technology in a single statement design.

Finished in high-gloss black, the Vision Iconic also adopts narrow, contemporary headlights and dynamic lighting animations that extend across the grille and bonnet emblem. This approach signals Mercedes-Benz’s continued exploration of light as a design language — transforming it into a medium for expression and emotion rather than mere functionality.

Mercedes-Benz Sahkan Enjin V12 Akan Terus Hidup Sehingga 2030-an

Mercedes-Benz mengesahkan bahawa enjin ikonik V12 mereka akan terus digunakan sehingga dekad 2030-an, meskipun sebelum ini jenama tersebut merancang untuk beralih sepenuhnya kepada kenderaan elektrik menjelang akhir dekad ini. Pengumuman tersebut dibuat di acara IAA Mobility di Munich, sekaligus memberi khabar gembira kepada peminat enjin berkuasa besar.

Menurut laporan, Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Mercedes-Benz, Thomas Schäfer, tidak mendedahkan butiran penuh, namun mengesahkan syarikat mempunyai pelan bagi memastikan enjin V12 memenuhi piawaian pelepasan ketat Euro 7. Walau bagaimanapun, beliau mengakui enjin tersebut tidak akan dipasarkan di semua negara.

Dengan Eropah bakal mengharamkan enjin pembakaran dalaman menjelang 2035, enjin V12 dijangka kekal ditawarkan untuk pasaran tertentu seperti China dan Timur Tengah, di mana permintaan terhadap enjin berkuasa tinggi masih kukuh.

Mercedes-Benz Confirms Its Legendary V12 Will Live On Into the 2030s

Mercedes-Benz has confirmed that its famous V12 engine will continue into the 2030s, despite earlier plans to go fully electric by the end of this decade. The news was revealed at the IAA Mobility show in Munich, giving fans of big engines something to celebrate.

According to reports, CEO Thomas Schäfer didn’t share exact details but said Mercedes has a plan to make the V12 meet strict Euro 7 emissions rules. However, he admitted the engine won’t be sold everywhere.

With Europe banning combustion engines by 2035, the V12 will likely be kept for markets like China and the Middle East, where demand for powerful engines is still strong.

Right now, the Maybach S 680 is the only Mercedes that uses a V12, running a 6.0-litre twin-turbo unit. Mercedes also builds V12s for Pagani hypercars, keeping the engine alive in the world of extreme performance.

Mercedes-Benz Reportedly in Talks to Source BMW Engines Amid Weak Sales

After decades of rivalry, Mercedes-Benz and BMW may soon find themselves in an unlikely partnership. According to a report by Manager Magazin, Mercedes is exploring the possibility of sourcing four-cylinder engines from BMW, a move that would mark one of the most surprising shifts in the modern automotive industry. While BMW has not confirmed the development, industry insiders suggest that discussions have been ongoing for nearly a year.

The timing of these talks comes as Mercedes faces financial headwinds. At the end of July, CEO Ola Källenius reported weaker-than-expected results, with profit margins in its passenger car business dropping to 3.2 per cent during the second quarter. Sales for the first half of the year stood at just 900,000 units, the lowest since 2020. Internally, Källenius told his management team that cost-cutting alone would not be enough if the company lacked the right products to meet demand.

One of Mercedes’ immediate challenges lies in its engine supply. The Stuttgart-based brand underestimated the number of combustion engines required to support its plug-in hybrid models. Initially, Mercedes sought to cover the shortfall by sourcing four-cylinder units from Geely in China, but political sensitivities in key markets such as the United States have made the use of Chinese-built engines increasingly problematic. This has pushed the company to explore cooperation closer to home, with BMW emerging as the most viable option.
