Mercedes-Benz GLB Electric vs Suzuki e VITARA

Side-by-Side Specs

Charging Speed

The Mercedes-Benz GLB Electric has the higher published DC charging figure at 170 kW, which is roughly 13% higher than the Suzuki e VITARA at 150 kW. In practice, that figure only tells part of the story. The charging curve, battery temperature, and state of charge all affect how quickly your car actually charges.

For the published fast-charge window, the Suzuki e VITARA is listed at about 25 minutes, which is 5 minutes quicker than the Mercedes-Benz GLB Electric at 30 minutes. On a road trip, that difference adds up over multiple stops.

Range and Efficiency

The Mercedes-Benz GLB Electric has a WLTP rated range of approximately 545 km, which is roughly 145 km more than the Suzuki e VITARA at approximately 400 km. WLTP is a standardized lab test. Expect your actual range to be lower, varying with speed, weather, terrain, and driving style.

Efficiency matters more than battery size for daily driving costs. The Suzuki e VITARA consumes 181 Wh/km, compared to 183 Wh/km for the Mercedes-Benz GLB Electric. That means the Suzuki e VITARA uses less energy per kilometer, which translates to lower charging costs and fewer charging stops on longer drives.

A more efficient car does not always mean more range. Battery size plays a role too. The Mercedes-Benz GLB Electric has approximately 85 kWh of useable battery , while the Suzuki e VITARA has approximately 60 kWh.

Which One Should You Choose?

The Mercedes-Benz GLB Electric has the higher published DC figure at up to 170 kW, but the Suzuki e VITARA has the shorter published charge time at approximately 25 minutes versus approximately 30 minutes. On road trips, published stop time matters more than the headline kW number alone.

Both cars support 11 kW AC charging, so home and workplace charging speeds will be similar.

If you mostly charge at home or at work and care more about daily driving costs, the Suzuki e VITARA is the more efficient choice at 181 Wh/km. Lower consumption means lower electricity bills over time.

For maximum range between charges, the Mercedes-Benz GLB Electric has a WLTP rated range of approximately 545 km, which is roughly 145 km more. Both are capable EVs. The best choice depends on how you charge and how far you drive.
