The 2020 Mercedes GLB faces a diverse set of rivals, only one of which matches its available third row of seats.
The Land Rover Discovery Sport can be fitted with three rows, but we wouldn’t recommend steerage class for anyone taller than a fifth-grader.
The Jaguar F-Pace and Volvo XC60 are strong contenders that are priced (in the case of the Volvo) and usually discounted (F-Pace) under the like-sized Mercedes GLC.
The Mazda CX-9 shoots for the stars with its turbo-4 and suave cabin, though it’s not as polished as its European rivals.
