Spontaneous and emotional: the AMG 2.0-litre R4 turbo engine
The 2.0-Liter turbo engine with 225 kW (306 HP) of power thanks to its twin-scroll turbocharger with spontaneous response to accelerator pedal movements, high pulling power (400 Nm max. Of torque from 3,000 rpm) and huge torque. The crankcase is made of high-strength and lightweight die cast aluminum reduces the weight of the vehicle on the driving dynamics are a decisive point. The Twin-Scroll turbocharger combined with superior response at low speeds with a high increase in performance at higher speeds.
The high technological standard of the variable valve control system CAMTRONIC for little consumption underlines. The intelligent thermal management ensures faster and more efficient Heating of the engine and the Oil. And the compact Piezo injectors inject the fuel very precisely, which increases the efficiency.
Fast and agile: the AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT 8G dual-clutch transmission
The transmission controlled rapid gear changes during sporty driving as well as the comfort of switching operations for relaxing the stressed trips long-haul. When up-shifting, the partial ignition cut-off supports fast gear changes, while the Use of the double-declutching function switch on the control comfort support. The function adjusts the speed of the engine and the transmission, minimising unwanted load-changing reactions and to stabilize the vehicle, such as when braking before bends. The support so way, a particularly dynamic driving.
The full sprint potential the new Mercedes-AMG GLB 35 4MATIC with the standard RACE START function. Increased Starting speed in combination with optimal switching points in time brings out the best possible traction and maximum acceleration. RACE START remains active so long as the accelerator is pressed down fully.
Driving fun high-five: AMG DYNAMIC SELECT, the AMG DYNAMICS
The five AMG DYNAMIC SELECT drive programs, smoothness, Comfort, Sport, Sport+ and Individual, allow for a very different driving experience with a large spread of high level of comfort to agile sportiness. Important parameters such as the response to be modified behavior of the engine, transmission, suspension and steering.
The driving program “smoothness” is best on slippery road textures matched, with reduced power and a flat torque curve. Verses mounted gear change, earlier upshifting and the ECO stop-Start System support the stability-oriented driving impression.
The program “Comfort” is comfortable and consumption-optimised Driving, among other things, by very early upshifts. Suspension and steering are tuned with an emphasis on comfort, the ECO Start-stop System is active.
“Sport” and “Sport+” are characterised by agility and driving pleasure with sporty tuning of engine and transmission. The ECO Start-stop System is disabled.
The “Individual”drive the programs provides the option of the individual parameters according to the personal preferences, select and save. It also has settings for “Reduced” and “Moderate” i.e., the coasting function is in the Drive.
The programs are linked with the agility control AMG DYNAMICS, making the driving behavior can be differentiated to different demands and driving conditions.
Behind the concept of the AMG’s DYNAMICS, the agility of the functions of “Basic” and “Advanced”, the function of which will be assign to the respective driving program is selected automatically when GLB 35 4MATIC. Driving relevant parameters, such as the control of the torque distribution of the all-wheel drive, the steering characteristic or the control thresholds of the newly developed ESP® (Electronic stability program), are adjusted depending on the driving program in an intelligent way.
“Basic” is assigned to the transmission modes of “slippery” and “Comfort”. The GLB 35 4MATIC shows a very stable driving behavior with a high level of yaw damping.
“Advanced” is enabled in the program “Sport”. The GLB 35 4MATIC is then balanced neutral. The lower yaw damping, less steering angle required, and the increased agility to support a dynamic driving style – for example, on winding country roads.
Optimum traction: the variable AMG Performance 4MATIC all-wheel drive
The performance-oriented all-wheel drive provides for the best possible ratio of dynamism, traction and efficiency. A multi-disc clutch with AMG-specific electro-mechanical control allows a variable, spontaneously changeable torque distribution depending on the driving situation. The spectrum ranges from the pure front-wheel drive, up to a ratio of 50 to 50 percent to the front and rear axle, for example, in the case of dynamic driving maneuvers, snow or slippery roads. Factors that influence the distribution of Torque, driving speed, Lateral and longitudinal acceleration and the steering angle, but also the difference in speed between the individual wheels and the gear selection is not.
The scheme of the all-wheel drive is dependent on the selected stage of the 3-stage Electronic stability program ESP® safety underlines sporty to highly dynamic. The driving dynamics control system 4ETS additionally increases the driving safety and agility, especially on the grippy or slippery surfaces. It prevents over braking intervention, a one-sided spinning of the drive wheels when Starting off and Accelerating. At the same time, the drive torque is due to the resulting limited-slip differential effect to the non-spinning wheels, moved.
For high transverse momentum and long-distance comfort: the suspension
The AMG suspension is tuned for high cornering speeds and low body roll. Thus, the dynamic potential of the GLB can develop 35 4MATIC full. The high level of reserves in the limit range guarantee a high fun-to-drive – the vehicle remains safe at all times and confidently manageable. The complete Revision of all wheel-control components, such as uprights and wishbones of the front axle, as well as the specific subframe and the wheel carrier on the rear axle to support a more direct Articulation and increase the transverse dynamics. The chassis developers of Mercedes-AMG have thought of that, but also because a well-balanced long-distance comfort to be maintained.
Full control: parameter steering and high-performance braking system
The electro-mechanical steering is variably translated and convinces with precise and authentic feedback. At high speeds, the steering force decreases support, at lower speeds it is continually increased. Thus, a relatively small amount of force to Steer at low speeds, while at high speeds, the best possible control over the vehicle is maintained. Depending on the ride chosen program, the driver, gives you a sporty and tight or more comfortable steering feel.
The AMG high-performance braking system calipers with silver calipers and black AMG lettering on the front is, it’s a worthy adversary for the powerful drive. Delay is finely adjusted and remains fixed, even at high levels of stress. Among other things, to the large dimension to ensure a concerted, all-round internally ventilated and perforated brake discs. The front axle is fitted with 4-piston fixed calipers with grey cast iron brake discs in the Dimension 350 x 34 mm at the rear, there is a 1-piston sliding callipers with a grey cast iron brake discs in the Dimension 330 x 22 mm.
