Safety and the Mercedes-Benz GLB: a comprehensive range of technologies
December 24 2020,
The new Mercedes-Benz GLB has impressed in many ways since its debut, both in terms of design and handling. Its technological side, too, seduces. However, there's another area where it makes a very good impression, and that's with safety.
In fact, as you will see, the offer is complete.
First of all, you should know that when you buy a GLB, it comes with a host of standard safety features. These include Emergency Brake Assist in the event of an impending frontal collision, Brake Assist in this case, as well as Electronic Stability Control.
The GLB even has a side wind stabilization system. It's a truly impressive gadget that's imperceptible behind the wheel but gives you better control in the worst conditions.
Then there are all those more passive elements that add to the feeling of safety you get on board. Think of the LED daytime running lights, LED headlights and lights, seven standard airbags, tire pressure monitor, and a device that monitors your attention level while driving.
It's a great start.
Then, if you want more, the list of safety options is virtually endless. The GLB can take advantage of automatic low beam, lane departure and blind spot warning systems, as well as adaptive cruise control. Then, if an evasive manoeuvre is required, a steering assistant comes along to provide the steering force needed to help with execution.
Line crossing and speed limit warnings, as well as Active Lane Change Assist, which is essentially an automated lane change upon flasher activation, are also available as an option.
And that's without counting on one of the most impressive features, the Pre Safe system. Different versions of this system are available, but basically, if the vehicle senses a possible collision or rollover, the sunroof and windows close to protect us. Impressive!
Yes, the GLB is an attractive and interesting new SUV, but it's also one of the safest products you can find within the Mercedes-Benz line-up. All you have to do is come and discover it to find out for yourself.
