The all-electric Mercedes-Benz GLB EQ has arrived in Polish showrooms. We review both variants, pricing from PLN 248,400, up to 631 km WLTP range, and how it compares with the Toyota bZ4X, VW ID.4 and Tesla Model Y.
Fully electric versions of the Mercedes GLB with EQ technology have arrived in Polish showrooms. Below we summarise the model's dimensions, range, performance, charging capability and Polish pricing – alongside a direct comparison with key competitors.
The new Mercedes-Benz GLB with EQ technology is nearly 10 cm longer than its predecessor. Exact figures are 4.73 m in length, 1.86 m in width and a 2.89 m wheelbase. The result is a more flexible cabin, accommodating a foldable seven-seat bench that slides by up to 14 cm, plus more legroom and headroom. WLTP range reaches up to 631 km.
Two versions are available: the rear-wheel-drive GLB 250+ with 272 hp (0–100 km/h in 7.4 s) and the GLB 350 4MATIC with all-wheel drive, 354 hp and a 0–100 km/h time of 5.5 s. Both variants use the same 85 kWh battery and support DC fast charging at up to 320 kW. According to the manufacturer, 10 minutes at an ultra-fast charger adds roughly 260 km of range.
In Poland, the GLB 250+ with EQ technology starts at PLN 248,400, while the GLB 350 4MATIC starts at PLN 262,400.
The vehicle is built on an 800 V architecture and supports DC charging up to 320 kW. An optional converter enables charging at 400 V stations (DC converter for around PLN 2,900). The car also offers a 127-litre frunk and a braked towing capacity of up to 2 tonnes.
This is not a gadget for the rich with a green conscience. It is an EV that wins the race for practicality, range and zero compromises.
I am not a fan of electric inventions. I like roaring engines, the smell of petrol and noise. But this GLB? It says: “Cover long distances, rely on technology rather than stamina, and keep the kids, bikes, tent, dog and the whole pharmacy right beside you.”
The Mercedes GLB EQ is aimed at buyers looking for an electric SUV that combines range, interior space and real-world charging capability – at a price point that still sits within the premium segment.
The GLB 250+ produces 272 hp and reaches 100 km/h in 7.4 s, while the GLB 350 4MATIC produces 354 hp and reaches 100 km/h in 5.5 s. Both models share the same 85 kWh battery.
The GLB supports DC charging at up to 320 kW, delivering roughly 260 km of range in 10 minutes. The optional 400 V converter costs around PLN 2,900.
The GLB is 4.73 m long, 1.86 m wide and has a 2.89 m wheelbase, providing a spacious interior that accommodates a seven-seat bench.

What share of WLTP range does real-world range reach over a year in Poland?
The Nissan Ariya Solar version integrates photovoltaic panels across the bonnet, roof and tailgate. On a sunny day the car adds up to 23 km of range; in London it adds just 10 km. We look at Polish showroom prices, the partnership with Lightyear, and how much free energy is realistic in Polish weather.
The new BMW iX3 (Neue Klasse) sells out faster than the Debrecen plant can build it. We break down 805 km of WLTP range, 469 hp, 400 kW charging and a 310,000 PLN starting price against the Audi Q6 e-tron, Porsche Macan Electric and Mercedes EQE SUV.
