Mercedes-Benz GLB Discountinued In India Amid Plunging Sales

Mercedes-Benz has now discontinued the GLB in India. It was the most affordable SUV offered by the German manufacturer in India. The Mercedes-Benz GLB was imported as a CBU unit from its Mexico factory. With every unit sold from the dealership, customers can still get their hands on the GLB as a second-hand possession.

The Mercedes Benz GLB made its first move in India with its launch in 2022. The 7-seater SUV survived in the country for around two years. However, it received a mild update in 2023 but failed to impress, and is now discontinued. The Mercedes Benz GLB was priced between Rs 63.80 lakh - Rs 69.80 lakh (prices ex-showroom).
