This powertrain is also found in the Mercedes-Benz AMG A-Class A35 sedan and hatchback variants. Mercedes-Benz AMG says they have specifically tuned the ignition process during upshifts to produce the fierce exhaust noises that the brand is famous for.
A multi-disc clutch with AMG-specific tuning allows a variable torque split that can instantly change, with up to 50:50 distribution between the front and rear wheels. This increases stability out of corners as well as confidence on winding roads. A 3-stage ESP also regulates the amount of rear-wheel torque. A brake-based limited-slip effect is also produced when starting from slippery surfaces.

Globally, the Mercedes-Benz AMG GLB 35 4Matic SUV is so unique that it doesn’t have any direct competitors. The closest would be its own sibiling, the Mercedes-Benz AMG GLA 35. The BMW X2 M35i, MINI Clubman JCW and Audi Q3 are considered rivals too, but they do not offer this much of interior space.
Although a seven-seater with Sport name too, we won’t consider the Land Rover Discovery Sport a rival due to its lower power output and more utilitarian image. In Malaysia, the Mercedes-Benz AMG GLB 35 4Matic (5 seater) is a fully-imported model from Mexico and in 2021, is priced at RM363,136.52.
Incredibly practical with so much space and comfort via headroom and boot space. Having rapid straight-line speed and stability is a welcome bonus.
The riding comfort is admirable, well-tuned in soaking up rough patches solidly firm without any discomfort to the occupants.
Interior that is beautiful to look at thanks to plenty of satin finishes, ambient lighting and air vents that’s from an E-Class coupe.
No off-road credentials unlike a Land Rover, if you are into that sort of all-roundedness
Not fitted with the well-sized third-row seats in Malaysia
