Serving as a boxier counterpart to the more hatchback-like GLA, the GLB 250 delivers a lot of utility thanks to its squared-off shape. Its punchy and fuel-efficient powertrain is another selling point.
Adding the optional third-row seat to the GLB 250 for just $850 seems like an easy decision to us. Sure, it's super tight back there, but it's nice to have two extra seatbelts for kids or even adults in a pinch.
All-wheel drive is almost a no-brainer addition to the GLB 250, as it doesn't cost much and barely impacts fuel economy while leaving acceleration unaffected.
The $850 third-row option is money well spent on any GLB, we think, including the GLB 250 4MATIC. Why not give yourself that extra versatility in case you need it?
On its own merits, the AMG GLB 35 is an impressive small luxury SUV, pairing spirited acceleration with a downright practical interior. The problem is that when you look at the other performance SUVs that are available for nearly $60k to start, it's hard for the AMG GLB to stand out.
It's hard for us to see the value in the $60k AMG GLB, but adding the third-row seat for just $850 makes this mini-SUV easier to appreciate. When you think about compact luxury SUVs that offer three seating rows and spirited performance, it's a very short list.
