Frequently asked questions
Is the Mercedes-Benz GLB worth the extra £12,650 over the Skoda Enyaq?
The Mercedes-Benz GLB costs £12,650 more than the Skoda Enyaq. For that premium it adds 130 miles more WLTP range, 200 kW faster peak rapid charging and 68 kW more power. On EVcarsguide's combined category scores, the Mercedes-Benz GLB comes out ahead overall.

These figures cover list price and home charging only - insurance, servicing, tyres and depreciation will move the real total.
What are the Mercedes-Benz GLB and Skoda Enyaq like on a long motorway trip?
EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 268 miles for the Mercedes-Benz GLB and 208 miles for the Skoda Enyaq - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. The Mercedes-Benz GLB goes roughly 61 miles further between charging stops. Both rapid-charge to 80% in a similar time, around 20-24 minutes.
Which is easier to park and drive in town, the Mercedes-Benz GLB or the Skoda Enyaq?
The two are within 18 mm on width, so neither is meaningfully easier to thread into a tight space. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 539 mm of total clearance for the Mercedes-Benz GLB and about 521 mm of total clearance for the Skoda Enyaq. The Skoda Enyaq also turns in a 1.9 m tighter circle, which helps with U-turns and multi-storey ramps.
