2020 Mercedes-Benz GLB vs BMW X1

As you can see in the table below, you’ll have a slight advantage of horsepower in the BMW X1, but the same amount of torque for both models. They are also both able to go off-road and are prime candidates for all your off-roading adventures. However, if you’re planning on rougher terrain, you may want to pick the GLB, which stands higher off the ground than the BMW X1. Likewise, you’ll have more legroom in the GLB, and the option of cooled/ventilated seats as well.
