With AMG DYNAMICS we were able to hone the vehicle dynamics even more and also further increase the suitability for everyday use and the connectivity with MBUX.

This makes the GLC 63 an all-rounder for every occasion", says Tobias Moers, Chairman of the Management Board of Mercedes-AMG GmbH.

The new features at a glance

The top speed of the base model is 250 km/h (electronically limited, with the AMG Driver's package 270 km/h), 280 km/h for the S models. The impressive driving dynamics are based, among other things, on the AMG RIDE CONTROL+ air suspension with adaptive damping adjustment, the electronically controlled differential lock, which is now also standard on all variants, and the dynamic engine mounts, which are part of the standard equipment on the S models.

2020 Mercedes-Benz Concept GLB - Exterior Interior Design

exterior front design

Stuttgart/Shanghai. With the Concept GLB at Auto Shanghai (18 to 25 April 2019), Mercedes-Benz shows what SUV ideas on the company's compact car platform might also be realised alongside the GLA as a sporty all-rounder.



While the latter promises progressive driving enjoyment with its coupé-like lines, the Concept GLB places the emphasis on spaciousness and robustness.

exterior back design

The concept car (length/width/height: 4634/1890/1900[1] millimetres) has space for up to seven occupants thanks to its long wheelbase (2829 millimetres). A number of sturdy features signal that the Concept GLB feels right at home on rough farm tracks.

"We asked ourselves whether there is still space between the GLA and GLC in our successful SUV range. The Concept GLB is the answer to this question. With it we are demonstrating the creative ideas we have for this segment, too", says Britta Seeger, Member of the Board of Management of Daimler AG, responsible for Mercedes-Benz Cars Sales.

interior cockpit design

"The Concept GLB is a durable and practical SUV with nonetheless compact dimensions. Whether it is a generous, seven-seater family vehicle or a versatile leisure time companion: we are certain that this concept will be of great interest to our customers.

" Customers highly appreciate the varied SUV portfolio of Mercedes-Benz. To date, more than six million customers worldwide have purchased a Mercedes-Benz SUV. In 2018, with more than 820,000 units sold, the SUVs were the strongest segment for Mercedes-Benz.

SUV genes skilfully brought to the fore: Exterior design

The Mercedes-Benz Concept GLB has a distinctive presence in the world of compact SUVs with its muscular proportions. The clear, surface-accentuated contours with reduced lines and precise joints convey effortless superiority and modernity.

The upright front section with its striking MULTIBEAM LED headlamps is clear evidence of off-road genes, as are the short overhangs at the front and rear.

The long wheelbase and the functional greenhouse are the decisive factors providing generous spaciousness for up to seven occupants.

The muscular and sensuously contoured vehicle shoulder dominates the side view, an effect reinforced by the rising waistline.

The contiguous doors improve ease of access and keep the door apertures free of soiling. All-round protective claddings divide the overall proportions and emphasise the vehicle's off-road character.

The harmonious colour concept has exterior paintwork in designo cashmere white magno with high-gloss black mounted parts (e.g. the claddings or integrated roof box) as a contrast, plus discreet orange highlights in the radiator grille and as lettering on the outside mirror housings.

The chrome underguard at the front with integral air inlets in a stainless steel look emphasises the off-road qualities. The rear underguard echoes this theme, creating a balanced overall picture.

2020 Mercedes AMG GLE 53 4MATIC + - detailed description of interior exterior design

Exterior design

The new GLE 53 4MATIC + is equipped with the AMG Performance 4MATIC + fully variable all-wheel drive for maximum traction and dynamism.



The intelligent steering variably connects the permanently driven rear axle with the front axle and continuously calculates the optimum torque distribution depending on the driving situation and the driver's wishes. Four-wheel drive improves longitudinal dynamics, traction and lateral dynamics. The result: stronger acceleration for standing and short sprints.

Exterior design 1

Total stabilization: AMG ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL suspension


The AMG ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL suspension, developed in Affalterbach, forms the basis of the driving experience characterized by high agility, neutral cornering behavior and optimum traction, based on the AMG RIDE CONTROL + air suspension. A new feature makes a significant contribution to the AMG-specific adjustment for high driving dynamics levels: active cylinder stabilization and fully variable torque distribution with two electro-mechanical actuators operating independently on the front and rear axle.

Exterior design 2

The system not only reduces rolling movements while cornering, but also provides more precise adjustment of cornering and load changing. In addition, it improves driving comfort when driving straight, because the exciters are counterbalanced, for example, against unilateral road crashes. The movements in the body can be activated and optimally adjusted according to the driving conditions. This means that the form of driving characteristics associated with AMG-specific dynamism, precision and response can be experienced more intensively by the driver.

A further advantage compared to usual hydraulic-based systems is a significantly faster response. The AMG control can adapt the driving status up to 1000 times per second. The sampling rate is thus only one-thousandth of a second. The components also have low weight compared to normal solutions.

Especially long breathing: continuously adjustable damping air suspension


The AMG RIDE CONTROL +, especially the sporty spring / damper adjustment and suspension adjustable damping air suspension ADS + (Adaptive Damping System) combine outstanding driving dynamics with outstanding driving comfort. Damping features can be selected in three modes: "Comfort", "Sport" and "Sport +"; this provides a distinctly distinctive distinction between excellent long distance comfort and sporty driving dynamics. Also, there are two new levels for land use - "Trail" and "Sand"
