An updated Mercedes-Benz<\/a> GLB-Class prototype was spotted tooling around in the snow in Europe this week, signaling that development on a refreshed model (likely for the 2024 model year) is nearing completion. We’ve heralded the baby ‘Benz three-row as perhaps the company’s best-packaged car<\/a>, especially among its smaller offerings. We don’t expect that to change, but with car prices<\/a> headed skyward thanks to inflation, it’ll take more than the same-old, same-old to get us excited about an updated model.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This prototype is wearing camo typical of a car getting some minor exterior nips and tucks. The Rose Gold Metallic exterior is a nice touch (It’s a holiday week, OK? Any excitement is welcome.) and that may indicate that the color<\/a> will return for ’24. Based on what we can see here, the nose will be smoothed off a bit, with fewer creases in the lower fascia and perhaps a grille that is a bit more flush with molded bumper, but with the vinyl still on there, it’s tough to say.\u00a0<\/p>\n

To keep pace, Mercedes<\/a> is expected to offer an updated MBUX infotainment system along with a new 48-volt mild hybrid<\/a> backbone for its powertrain. While these 48V setups don’t have a significant impact on the driving experience by themselves, they enable a lot of tech that will aid Mercedes in its quest to electrify its lineup. In fact, the GLB already has an all-electric sibling, the EQB<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n
