In its base GLB250 form, the Mercedes GLB-class is a standard-issue small luxury crossover: boxy on the outside, spacious on the inside, with nice interior finishes but not much personality. AMG's take on the GLB is called the GLB35 and is an entirely different animal. Its high-strung turbo four-cylinder engine, lowered suspension, and cheeky appearance inject a healthy dose of character, transforming this crossover into something far more enjoyable and distinctive.

The GLB35 is also more perplexing, at least on paper. Technically, it's not even classified as an SUV at all. Due to its lower ground clearance, the EPA categorizes it as a mid-size station wagon, which means it can't have tinted rear windows, according to Mercedes, and gives it a Euro-spec look. The GLB is also unusual in this size class for offering a small third row of seats, an option that is also available on this AMG performance version, which is an $850 option.

So, what we have here is a rather diminutive crossover that offers a modicum of family-hauling capability along with a raucous turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four with 302 horsepower, 295 pound-feet of torque, and a snorty exhaust note. It sprints to 60 mph in 4.9 seconds, with the eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission ripping snappy upshifts along the way. While the BMW X2 M35i is several ticks quicker, the GLB35 is usefully swifter than the 221-hp GLB250, which is more than a second slower to 60 mph.
