The Mercedes-Benz GLB AMG is not domestically produced; it is an imported model. Below is relevant information about the Mercedes-Benz GLB: Powertrain: The GLB200 is equipped with a 1.3T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 163 hp, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

I recently bought a Mercedes-Benz GLB and find it quite interesting. Most of these cars in the Chinese market are domestically produced, specifically by Beijing Benz. When I was purchasing the car, I went to the dealership and the salesperson pointed out the vehicle's identification plate, confirming it was made in China. This is because the Beijing Benz factory handles local assembly. There are also imported versions, but they are less common, such as those imported from the Mexico factory, which are significantly more expensive. I chose the domestically produced version because the lower tariffs made it about 20,000 RMB cheaper, and maintenance is more convenient with ample parts inventory. However, you should be cautious as some older models might be imported. So, I recommend checking the official manual or vehicle registration documents to confirm the origin when buying a car. There are many benefits to locally produced cars: shorter waiting times, reduced carbon footprint from less environmental logistics, and the same high quality after localization, which gives me peace of mind while driving.

I'm someone who knows quite a bit about cars. The Mercedes-Benz GLB in China is mainly domestically produced, meaning it's manufactured by Beijing Benz. I once considered the imported version but found that most dealerships now sell the China-made ones. Domestic production helps save on tariffs, reducing the car price by about 15%, making it more cost-effective. Plus, maintenance parts are easier to find, unlike imported models where you might have to wait for parts. I helped a friend with a GLB before and checked the factory label to confirm its origin. I advise consumers to ask the salesperson before buying. If it's Beijing Benz-produced, there are clear markings in the engine compartment or on the nameplate. The imported version is pricier and includes shipping fees. After domestic production, the assembly line at the Guangdong plant is very stable, and quality testing is also up to standard.

After driving the GLB for a while, I concluded that it is mainly domestically produced in China, with the Beijing Benz factory responsible for manufacturing the local version. Imported models are occasionally available but rare. When purchasing, check the vehicle's identification plate to confirm the production location to avoid mistakes. The advantage of domestic production is reasonable pricing and faster maintenance.
