German tuner, Brabus, has gone to work on the Mercedes-Benz GLB and this is the result.

The stocky and blocky GLB 7-seater SUV arrived locally earlier this year and Brabus has decided to turn up the heat and give it some added road presence. The treatment, however, is fairly subtle compared to the creations we have seen from Brabus in the past.

This GLB wears an AMG-Line bumper that features a 2-piece spoiler and lower air vents and the large Brabus badge set in the grille lets other road users know that this is no ordinary GLB.

Brabus has also mounted 2 LED lights bars on the roof in case you find yourself doing a self-drive game drive in the Kruger National Park, those lights will help you spot game at night.

Moving towards the rear, an obligatory spoiler has been fitted for a sportier look and Brabus has also fitted black 3.5-inch diameter tailpipes which beefs up the rear styling. This GLB rides on custom 10-spoke Brabus wheels and can be had in various sizes including 18-, 19, and 20-inch.

On the inside, the Brabus GLB gains sporty Brabus aluminium pedals and door sills that light up on entry as well as Brabus-branded floor mats and a Brabus liner for the load bay.

Under the bonnet though, Brabus has squeezed out more power and torque from the 2.0-litre, 4-cylinder turbopetrol engine which in standard form, produces 165 kW and 350 Nm of torque. With an ECU tune, outputs have been increased to 200 kW and 430 Nm. Buyers can also choose to have the suspension dropped by 1.2-inches or opt for the offroad suspension which will increase ride height by some 1.4-inches.
