Great car, absolute swiss army knife of a card, it's as if the mind behind it was "let's see if we can have a car that does everything" it looks both modern and classic, feels like a sedan while offering enough space to pass as a real SUV, more than adequate 4x4, fits 7 and the back seats are surprisingly not horrible. I used to have a X5 with the extra two seats in the back and while that car is bigger than the GLB, the two back seats were absolute shit. Somehow the GLB manages to offer better seats in the back. It has the bells and whistles, extremely nice interior with all the color stuff, it's a family car, it's a night out car, it's a utilitarian car, you can load anything you like, it feels like it fits more stuff while being both smaller and thinner than a GLC. It is about an inch taller than the GLC though and that's where the magic with this car happens. That extra inch allows for the two seats in the back to be habitable by human beings while also making it possible to fit things like mountain bikes and other big things (like a tv, etc.) All while being a Mercedes. It really does offer everything. Just a tip. Don't get the Sat nav, sat nav is always rubbish compared to google maps, and it's not like you are getting an awesome virtual cockpit like the audis, in that case the gps would be worth it for the looks alone, in this one you don't really get that much of a benefit other than being able to tell the car where to go with "hey Mercedes" but since hey Mercedes absolutely BLOWS, just deactivate it and use SIRI. Just click a button on the steering wheel and talk to siri, she can do everything Mercedes can minus the gimmicks like opening the sunroof and turning on the air, (which are more comfortable to do with your hands anyway) Incredibly practical car Show less

Great Review as always Thomas, and driving and commentary. From the UK GLB eBrochure, the range seems very limited and you can't pick options apart from metallic paint. No 250 petrol, no 360 camera, no HUD. Adaptive suspension on £50k GLB 35 only. No light coloured interiors. BLIS, ACC and pano-roof only on top models from £42k, etc, etc. Keep up the good work, Thomas, don't change. Best wishes.

Amazing SUV. I really wish the GLB existed like this almost ten years ago back in my University days. I would have bought it over the GLA! I love my GLA, but it was limited in comparison to this. The GLA trim I got did not come with roof rails or have them as an option. The newer ones do. I would have gotten the third row seating option in a heartbeat. The road trips would have been so much better in this GLB. Plop the seats down and it has more space than the GLC with its seats down. Amazing little thing!

Amazing review as always,Thomas. 😎 Such a detailed, authentic and well-shot video. I love the _Autogefühl_ quality. Imagine in 4K or 8K. 😱 That would be on god mode. But what I see now is absolutely perfect, I could not ask for more. Here are my thoughts on the GLB: I think the GLB is a great GLK successor for sure, more so than the GLC. The GLC is definitely more leaned towards a comfy but sporty right like the C-Class lineup is like. I hear people say the GLB is a G-wagon successor. I think that is wrong and just done for clickbait and views. It is nothing like the G-wagon, but the GLK was. I also think the GLB can be seen as a budget GLS. It does what the GLS can, but with limits. The GLS is full-on luxury. Even the third row gets heated and cooled seats, for example. •The exterior: Well...I think it does look very adorable, especially at the front, but it is a great size. That is a good thing. I do like the boxy shape, because it does add more practicality. That is a plus. I am more of a substance over style kind of person, so no complains from me about how boxy it is. Notice how the GLC is the same size, but less practical. The GLC leans more to style and a flowing character, just like the other C-Class lineups. Understandable, but still. And yes, now that I think about it does look like a Storm Trooper helmet, which makes it more adorable. On the wheels, I would get an inch or two smaller for more comfort. Again, substance over style. •The interior: Of course, amazing. I like it. Even the base trim I love a lot. The wood with the lights, though. I have never seen such a thing before, so maybe something I have to see in person. Generally, lovely built, strong, and clean. The idea of three rows is what gets me the most. Truly a great option to get, especially as a family. •The practicality: The three-row option is a really lovely gesture from Mercedes-Benz. I think that is great, especially now poor people like myself do not need to climb so high to get a three-row Mercedes-Benz, lol. Just two years ago Mercedes-Benz only made one three-row SUV...the GLS. Now they are three. The GLB is the one to have if a couple or someone is starting a cute little family. Once the family gets bigger, they can upgrade to the GLE, then the GLS, or just stay with the GLB. The GLB can work for a full-size family. Even though the GLE and GLS are bigger SUVs, they do have some compromises the GLB does not have. The GLE and GLS's second row of bench seats is not as upright as the GLB, so depending on the body it could be a bit uncomfortable. The fuel consumption? Again, my theory is that those filters put into the engines are why the Mercedes-Benz fuel consumption is not the best, but I do not find them to be bad. It do not think they are cripplingly bad and premium brand customers would have no issues. •The technology: MBUX...come on. She is great. 😂 The system is so intuitive and out there I have to get MBUX in a future model. If you get another chance with MBUX, ask her what she thinks about BMW, Porsche, and Audi. She really got some sass to her sometimes. She would make better friend than my actual friends, lol. There a range of things we can ask her. She has personality. The verdict: I do agree with you when saying the GLB is the most well-rounded (lol, it is square 😂) SUV in the Mercedes-Benz lineup. Not to say the others are bad-far from it. It is just that this one has the most flexibility and really maxes itself out the most. That is the case with the B-Class in general. The B-Class leans way more to practicality and usage than any other Class (except the V-Class), and that is what the B-Class is all about. Thank you again for the great review and for reading my very long comment. Sorry if it was so long, I tent to go all out. I hope you have a great day. Stay safe and see you in the next video. I am excited for your GLE review. Cheers.

I just watched a new Hyundai Santa Fe launch videos, I was interested in the price and what I got from the previous generation (let's be frank, it won't be cheaper) the new Sonata and Santa Fe can be more expensive than GLB (prices from the UK market). Thomas, do you plan to review these two SUVs anytime soon? I will be looking for a company (so lease) car, 5 seater with two additional used quite rarely (but it would be very nice to have). Now I am confused, new Koreans cars are both about 13cm longer than GLB while in fact, I don't need that space. Also, I don't plan to buy that car at the end so 7years of warranty is not extremely important. Could you tell me what was the longest distance you drove in GLB? Is that comfortable for long trips (about 6-8h per day)? cheers!

Their cars are of low quality and they are milking their customers in any possible way. My prediction is that they will be in real trouble within 10 years.
@ClaireYunFarronXIII4 жыл бұрын
Mercedes-Benz is still leading, mate, and they have always been expensive. Nothing has changed. That's why global sales were at their highest last year and the year before. But most models are not sold everywhere. There is a market for these everywhere around the world. Example: the B-Class is mostly sold in Europe more than many other places. Minivans are more catered to European. Estates as well. Whereas SUVs are catered towards Canada and Australia, for example. Many places do not even have a B-Class or Estates in large quantities. I think the cost if options has more to do with you than them. Mercedes-Benz is a premium brand. Premium brands from Mercedes-Benz all they way to Rolls Royce and Bentley do this. They all start with nothing on them and you end up paying a lot for just options. The options on my C-Class were not costly to me because I am in the market for the car. I did not fret. You will not see me complaining about the option costs on an E-Class or S-Class, because I am not in that market. Besides, those models are different in terms of price and market and Mercedes-Benz has been doing this for decades. More so now, but still. No way you would be browsing through the entire Mercedes-Benz lineup for a car of theirs. You will be looking for a certain size, a certain segment, and a certain price to fulfil a certain need/s. There are only one or two models I can say are maybe a little redundant. That is it. All premium brands "milk" their customers, Rolls Royce and Bentley included. You can buy an E-Class for the same money for a few interior pieces of a Rolls Royce. You can option a Rolls Royce Wraith to the point that it costs as much as a Rolls Royce Cullinan. Example: in the Rolls Royce Wraith, the wood option (last I checked) costs over €20 000. For wood! I did not feel milked when adding options to my C-Class or GLA or A-Class. Sorry, but I think you are wrong...even about quality. Yeah, in some places they are a bit cheap, but most buyers will not care. I always say, "If you have to ask 'how much?' you are at the wrong dealership." What I mean by that is if the price is concerning you so much, you are not in the right market. Find something cheaper. If you bit off more than you can chew, not Mercedes-Benz's fault you choked. You are the one with the wallet. They did not have a gun to your head.

@@ClaireYunFarronXIII Last time Mercedes contributed something innovative to the car industry was with the ESP system which it developed in collaboration with Bosch. Since then Mercedes is excelling only in cosmetics. 30 years ago there was a reason to admire Mercedes' RnD. Today, Hyundai, Toyota and of course Tesla are far more impressive. If Mercedes are going after Rolls Royce - good for them. It's like buying gold coated 3 years old phone. Just keep in mind that with Mercedes reliability this gold plating will fall off very rapidly.

Why oh why are they running away from coupe like design, that worked so good with previous GLA for example? Does the market really want boxy SUVs only?
@RoadsterRyan234 жыл бұрын
Coupe like designs are awful , they are ugly , impractical and SUVs are supposed to be boxy , are you a bit cuckoo , the Rangie and G Wagen are two of the only "proper SUVs"

In my opinion these coupe GLC and GLA were incredibly ugly, especially from the back. Have a coupe or SUV, no need for an ugly compromise
@RoadsterRyan234 жыл бұрын
@@89DerChristian I totally agree. Coupé SUVs are horrid to look at , stupidly compromised and can sometimes be worse than their more practical counterparts. Have a spacious , boxy SUV , which are usually decent to look at , or get a better car full stop and ditch SUV. The only good SUVs are the "proper" ones.

This one looks outdated, clumsy and weird. The proportions are wrong. Probably my least favourite exterior design of any recent car coming from german premium manufacturers - the pre-facelift Audi Q7 used to hold that infamous spot.

@@zaphod2 Uh huh. Great compliment. I love being detailed and elaborate on my views rather than blunt, because I know there are many aspects to a vehicle to analyse (especially when when buying) than just its looks. Basing it on looks alone and having that be your deciding factor, especially for an SUV, is strange. Substance over style, mate. Also, on the note of other comments; when people are wrong or misinformed, I usually go into detail explaining why they are so. There are people who are willing to learn.
