ANALYSISHow safe is the 2020 Mercedes-Benz Glb-Class?

However, its siblings, the 2021, 2022, and 2023 GLB-Class models, received Safety Index scores of 88, 87, and 91 respectively. While these scores apply only to their respective model years, they offer a general indication of the nameplate's performance in federal assessments. The 2020 GLB-Class has no recalls on record. Owner complaints to NHTSA total 56. These unverified reports, while not extensive for a vehicle of this age and segment, highlight several areas.
