Mercedes GLB 2021 In-Depth Review - Best Luxury Seven-Seater?

[@josemenezes9264]

The best GLB review available. Thorough. fair, professional, in-depth and objective/sober. Thank you

[@Truha1985]

Picked up a new 2022 a couple of days ago. Black on black, night package, 4matic, amg trim package, 3rd row, and a few other goodies. So far I love it.

What are your impressions so far?

[@Ashley_Schaeffer]

Purchased one of these new 2022 WITHOUT the 3rd row... best decision ever.. the seats just take up space. its the way this truck was meant to be...

[@rivervalegroup]

Great stuff, Ashley! What made you go with the GLB over other models?

[@Ashley_Schaeffer]

@@rivervalegroup Honestly the price was too good to pass up... plus I feel the minor differences were not worth it... Also the 2022 has the updated infotainment system vs the GLC/GLA/GLS iirc... Also I didn't need the additional horsepower the GLC has. Also SPACE that was a huge consideration... its the biggest SUV next to the GLS or G but the GLS is a bit too big and the G is way to expensive... Thanks again for the review!

[@Ashley_Schaeffer]

@@rivervalegroup Honestly your review had a lot to do with it, very in-depth 👌🏼 I was considering a Land Rover but after testing both I went with the Mercedes. I've always been a loyal Mercedes owner, their feel and drive is unrivaled. I used to sell BMWs and they have a 150k shelf life... KIAs are even worse...

Great choice with the model and colour, Greg! Hope you enjoy your new car - let us know how you get on 👍

[@Mandela_House]

I’ve had mine for over two months now and I have to say, I really love it! The space in this car is unbelievable. It is comfortable, quiet and really nice to drive. I went for the 200 model and the little 1.3 engine has a bit of poke, thanks to the turbo. I want comfort rather than speed so this engine is fine for me and I am averaging about 39.5 mpg. The tech in this car is superb and the two 10 inch screens are so good. The only disappointment I had was it didn’t have the powered tailgate. Due to microchip shortage, they took this out and it has no option for a retro fit. If you want value for money and fancy options, go for the midrange Premium option. Overall, I would give it a 9/10.

[@victorcorrea6940]

The windshield glass of the GLB250 cracks easily with any small flying object that hits the glass on the road. I have a 2020 GLB250 and so far The windshield has cracked 5 times in less than 2 years. I believe the cause is attributed to a flaw in the upright design of the front windshield. No recall has been announced and MB has not admitted any wrong.

I like the design and interior but the 1.3 engine is Renault sourced and is the same engine used in the Dacia Duster! This may be a good engine but I for one would expect a Mercedes engine under the bonnet considering the cost of a GLB. Obviously Mercedes have done this to cut costs (which have not been passed on to their customers.) Although the Dacia Duster does not have all of the gadgets, gizmos and space the GLB has, I could comfortably sit in my Duster at the traffic lights next to the GLB and look at the GLB driver thinking mate you have been ripped off! Good comprehensive review as always thanks.

[@wayfaringcookie8142]

I drove a rental Renault Kadjar and that had the same 1.3 engine. Its a really good engine and I can see why Mercedes feel its suitable for their cars. Fits a large car really well, yeah its not fast but for most people its a good cheaper engine in a premium car. Looking at Mercedes website its nearly £3000 cheaper for that engine. Not a bad deal if you want smaller.

[@phil8437]

@@wayfaringcookie8142 I am not saying that it is not a bad engine (see my original comment) What I am saying is this is an expensive car and for the price surely Mercedes should be fitting a Mercedes designed and built engine.
