Mercedes-Benz GLB Class fleet challenges VW Tiguan to tow trailers

We do not know what the problem is with towing, but cars always do it. You can install a tow hook on an Octavia RS and even on the new CLS 53. So it's no surprise that the type of vehicle you would use for a family vacation is tested. The goal is not to see if the GLB clbad can pull a toolbox, but if it can support the weight of something like a caravan attached to its chbadis.

It's also the first time we see the GLB so close to the Tiguan, which is ultimately the best compact crossover manufactured by German automakers at present. Unfortunately, its towing capacity is not readily available, simply because only one engine is available at the moment, the 150 horsepower 2.0. TDI. But the last time we checked, the VW reaches about 1.5 ton.

The GLB seems quite the direct competitor of the Tiguan. The GLA was a half-hearted attempt to make a cross for Mercedes. But since it has sold well enough, the builder keeps it and plans to add this thing to the side. It has thick roof rails, lots of travel and a spacious and spacious interior. It's so big that we think that a 7-seater version will eventually be offered.

With the recent launch of the B-Clbad, we know a little more about the range of engines that will propel the GLB, its hideous cousin. Mercedes has indeed developed a new diesel engine of 2 liters. This is available with either 150 HP in the 200 d or 190 HP in the 220 d. Both come with a new 8-speed gearbox. Your other option should be a 116 HP 1.5 liter.

The gasoline range revolves around the 1.3-liter turbo, although the GLB should get a 2.0-liter-it's never coming to America. We think he deserves it, as crossovers of this size are doing well, whether premium or not.
