Like the internal combustion engine (ICE) powered GLB, the electric model retains the boxy profile that makes the model so likable.

This is also the variant that India will most likely get when the model arrives here.

This pits the model against the likes of Audi Q4 e-tron, Volkswagen ID.4 and Tesla Model Y in this segment.
