New Mercedes GLB Review // She really likes it.

The all-new Mercedes-Benz GLB is yet another compact crossover vehicle. based on the A-Class, small car family, the Mercedes GLB is sold as a GLB250 or more powerful GLB35. the new Mercedes GLB 250 comes with a 221hp 2.0l turbocharged 4-cylinder or a more powerful 302hp version. Both the Mercedes-Benz GLB 250 and GLB35 come standard with AWD. The Mercedes GLB is only slightly smaller than the GLC compact utility but can be equipped with a third-row seat option, making the new GLB a 7-seater. The third row of the GLB is only for small children under 5-feet 6-inches. The cargo space without the third row is very useful and many buyers will choose the GLB without the third row. handling of this small Mercedes GLB crossover is good, with a lively engine and car-like handling. It drives better than it looks. The big windows and boxy shape make this a great car to live with, providing excellent outward visibility but the styling differs a bit. The interior is a different story. The GLB interior is a modern showcase of Mercedes design featuring the large MBUX system that comes with a standard 7-inch screens or 10.25-inch screens. The track-pad based system is rather intuitive and quick to reply to commands.

I personally own one for my 50th BDAY Gift and I LOVE IT! Especially the VIEW of the HUGE Windows. The Cabin is HUGE and AMAZING LOOKING with the Technology and the Ambiance Lighting at night feels like a Spaceship! Traveling is a Compelling Feeling especially in Sport mode! Compact Crossovers is the Trend so why not go CLASSY & STYLISH with POWER & LOTS OF ROOM...GO MERCEDES😁❣

[@rolandostaelena]

Have to say Andrea really makes this video. Her opinions are very enlightening. Especially the comment about the shifter. I would have said, like you, "what about the space...etc".

[@asdf21qwer]

i love when andrea reviews cars. she has a great personality

[@derrekb4501]

Zac and Andrea is fast becoming my favorite car reviewers on KZbin. The content is both honest and real. Most reviewers out there are just too robotic, scripted and way too produced. Motormouth reviews feel real and natural and just great.

[@Motormouth...]

Wow, thanks for the kind words!

[@scottferris6309]

I agree. Each presentation is down to earth and so natural. The teamwork between this couple is outstanding.

[@davidhypes5228]

Really enjoy it when you two review together. Both do an awesome job! Thank you!

[@sammyg4806]

I got this, we traded a 2021 RDX for the 2023 GLB. The wife wanted the beige interior, so we didn’t get the AMG line package. But we did get the wood, third row, pano roof, big screens, optional rims and lighting package (among others). The total without the crazy PR taxes however around $53-55k without taxes the real price is $71k (crazy! I know!) Still, this review is on point. On the outside, I was underwhelmed at first. The car looks like a subcompact, even though, dimensionally, it is a compact SUV (perhaps the only 3-row on the luxury segment). On the inside is much bigger, the leg room and head room on the second row, beats out the RDX’s. The third row, I did try it (I am 6’ tall) and my head would be slightly pressed against the roof lining. However, we have fitted 5’7”-5’8” adults back there with some strategic first town and second row positioning. The initial torque feels a lot peppier than the RDX’s despite have about 50 less in Hp. The interior lighting at night is fantastic, and overall, with the proper options it does feel like a proper Mercedes. Definitely, a very surprising vehicle in terms of what you expect at first glance, and what you actually receive after exploring the interior of the vehicle.

[@tommyolsen8224]

I love the new GLB !

[@robbyu.672]

I've always wanted a Mercedes... and I love that this could be a third-row in a pinch since I have 4 kids.

[@etherealdeal1792]

This review is crazily similar to how I feel. I went to the benz dealer and they had no gla in stock so I tried the glb available with amg interior. I found the outside hideous so never looked into it but once I got in and drove it I loved the interior and how swanky it is and how fun to drive. Thanks for the video

[@zero2sixtyr35]

You guys are cool to watch lol. I like the innuendos. Lol. She know what’s she wants and he knows what he’s talking about.

[@Patricia4samsunh]

I bought a 2021and i love it so much and I keep getting compliments. Everytime i walk up to it and get in I feel like a million bucks.

[@TurfSurf]

GLB is one of my favs, it was between this, Q3, X3, Maccan and GV70 for me 2 months ago, but I went with GV70 at the end, but I still love this SUV. It was a very difficult decision.

[@kellingtonlink956]

Thanks for the video.

[@FrankyRedEyes]

I like that Andrea could care less about the statistics and exact performance details. Its either good enough or its not. She likes it or she doesn't. I'm the same way and no spec sheet or comparison will change her mind.

[@casmatori]

Literally how 90% of car buyers think, which is realistic. Andrea is the usual customer

[@fleuger99]

@ourworlds atwar Amen!

[@mr.tuckers2848]

Great review and also providing another perspective from the wifey's point of view. Ultimately if a car has positive vibes from both sides, it's an overall winner!

[@abdelouedraogo1679]

This really reminds me more of the GLK, that's why I prefer it compared with the GLC

EXTREMELY GOOD CAR

[@emmagyamfi8686]

Please don't say anything bad about the interior please listen to what she is saying she have a good taste. Everything she said it she is right she mentioned the shifter Mercedes-Benz must consider that.

[@benoitmurray85]

Priceless moments when she disagrees with you, lol! Very good review!

[@7477238]

The 5 passenger model makes more sense with this GLB. The only practical 7 passenger SUV out there that makes sense is the Chevrolet Suburban. Too many customers are worried about 7 seats yet fail to consider cargo space and legroom.

[@cee_xx]

Great review!! 👋🏿✊🏿🙏🏿

Mercedes already has B class completely electrical. How do you think can we expect to see in the close future electrical GLB?

Ill take my Ford focus Wagon an smile all the time..

[@Mr.Worf63]

I’m with Andrea on that awful column shifter . Pricey with those options , heated steering wheel should be standard at that price point .

[@venom5809]

I had never driven any of the smaller Mercedes SUVs but I was at my neighbor's house two days ago and he has 3 GLKs and we had to go somewhere so I drove one of them and it was really nice, roomier than I thought it would be too. I am a fan of thick steering wheels, to me BMW makes the best steering wheels, hands down. I might have to check out the new small Mercedes now and see how they compare to the GLK. I still don't think these massive screens are necessary in these vehicles, I don't think I will ever be a fan of them.

[@faruksarker9030]

I love Mercedes-Benz ❤❤

[@peternelson8861]

Team Andrea " modern and cool "

[@claudexu9881]

Can you make a comparison of the GLB and the Acura RDX? Their price and size are almost the same. I thinking buying one of these two.

[@timothyyhtomit]

claude xu Mercedes and bmw make you pay for adaptive cruise control as options. Acura, Honda , Toyota and most Hyundai’s and many other brands come standard with adaptive cruise

[@smileyface5976]

I say go for MB. I got ours last April.

[@etherealdeal1792]

The rdx is nice and has a plush leather like interior but it isn’t as snazzy on the inside or as fun to drive

[@percival23]

What the GLK and the GLB have that you don't realize is that "boxy" shape gives you great vision when driving. It's like driving a lighthouse.

[@nishantthaccker1173]

Exactly as well as the big windows for the passengers makes it feel more open and provides good viewpoint.

[@revathiparsons2920]

cool

[@JC-qx5hd]

You should do a comparo with the Forester and see who comes up on top.

[@danielmurphy639]

I agree I love this car and i HATE the shifter I don't wanna put my windshield wiper into drive

[@Ronald7077]

Impressive dash, and spec as good as the GLC. With the same price tag what’s the point of the availability of a 5 seater when you have the GLC? I don’t see why Merc bothered except to create a 7 seater ?

[@crobinson1479]

I really like the car but would have liked to see it in white or lighter color. Hard to see details in all dark color car. Definitely would buy this SUV.

[@blackcatsarenopussies]

Column speed shifter is the best thing in auto. Especially the way Merc implemented it. Once you drive one and do some manoeuvrings in tight spaces you will understand. Had a GLK and now a GLC. Wish they'd have kept the boxy shape. Drove the GLB, it rides super sweet but the GLC feels more competent. I believe the new generation will be a masterpiece

[@Patricia4samsunh]

GLC blocks out road noise more.

[@adekunledisu]

I also don’t like the shifter by the wheel as well!

[@Micmaciti]

Please what’s the ground clearance of the GLB in Canada ??

[@denisfrolov242]

It reminds me London’s cab.

You are so right. Maybe if it was a different colour.

Having now driven the GLB, would you pick it over the Audi Q3?

Both are good, I prefer the Q3.

[@galaman12001]

Test drove both, I preferred the Q3 .. nice car though.

I agree with Andrea. That shifter has to go.

Such cars should start coming with hybrid systems now. Not necessarily plugin hybrids.

[@sharifreiman4213]

Absolutely fine but if you want a little bit more room look at the glb as well

[@TMM6900]

If i have to use digi shifter, i prefer benz over bmw or audi

[@benhaze1010]

I am with Zack about the interior: too much bling-bling (shiny piano black & silver plastic). However I would rather take the GLC biased RWD longitudinal powertrain over the GLB. Unfortunately expect MB to price the next GLC considerably higher than it is already to position it above the GLB.

[@msndotnet01]

[@MaestroTJS]

If it's almost the same size as a GLC but cheaper...why do they offer the GLC? I don't understand why some makers have overlap like that.

[@olegk455]

Not a fan of a black exterior Color because it gives it bloated appearance. I think these look so much better in brighter shades or the classic dark silver. Can’t wait for the AMG model to come here in Canada, because that would be the model to have.

[@klvc8697]

get the 3rd row, $1300 ,more usable then u think

[@notlemcram]

Does anyone know if the 4-magic requires all 4 tires to be changed out at once? For instance on Jeep’s if you blow out 1 tire you have to replace all 4 or the different tire diameter confuses the 4 wheel drive system and eventually will damage it? I know there are different types of AWD systems and would like to know for this brand. Thanks!

[@Patricia4samsunh]

Interesting question. 🤔 I'm not sure how it works. Mine has run flat tires

Once you go thick you cant go back...damn that was right out in the open

I'm missing something; I thought you joined a different car channel group...but nothing seems to have changed. Same site name, same format. So what is actually different?

[@Motormouth...]

No, I joined a new TV show, broadcast on TSN in Canada called Motoring TV. KZbin remains the same...

[@danI43541]

At first I didn’t really like the GLB but somehow, it grew on me... looks like a B Class (kinda obvious). Still don’t really like the new GLA. The big screens are a must though, since the smaller ones look so damn cheap

[@RIZFERD]

A Class Estate??!!

[@edwardkheyfets3390]

I test drove one and didn't like it at all, bumpy suspension, noisey engine, and not very good sound insulation. Ended up buying the BMW X3 instead for about same price. Really liked the design in/out. The dealer wanted $3,500 for freight and PDI, which is ridiculous and they are built in Mexico.

[@robertjones7565]

Built in Mexico in a joint venture plant with Nissan I might add.

[@hannytan9387]

Stop calling the GLB the baby G-wagon! It looks just like a baby-GLS!!! How can you not see it?

[@Oneness100]

I think the 3rd row is useless. It's even useless on the GLE. It only makes sense in a FULL SIZED SUV.

[@mlee6136]

Display, try driving it at night, most of these displays are not dark enough and create a distracting glow.

[@mikeharris7261]

I like everything about GLB except the fake exhaust

[@tanvirmukit5132]

I don’t understand why we need another CUV. All the german car manufacturers are guilty of introducing too many crossovers thereby diluting their brand. Imo Mercedes-Benz have always been blingy, too ostentatious for my taste. Audi is too tech focussed with all touchscreens. I think BMW does a better job in doing luxury right (e.g. X7) even though they are accused of not being modern enough. With re: to handling and driving dynamics, I wish the manufacturers make it a priority which off late hasn’t been one, imo.

[@GISJIng]

I hate modern interiors, mainly the digital gauges. I hope my current car lasts a very long time, or I guess I'll have to find an older vehicle that's in good shape. I still don't understand the love for SUVs. Some are good and some people actually use it as intended, the rest of the people I guess just have too much money to burn.

[@GeoFavTech]

Dang, Bro your wife is nice and thick. Wow that GLC VIDEO convinced me to get one ☝🏾. Oh well I still have the 2017 GLC not trading it yet only got 12k miles on it. Great video as always.

It has 258 foot pounds of torque. These motors push a lot of torque at lower RPMS which mean quick launches and easy city driving. Quick ratios for the first few gears help too.

[@nowornever2504]

Looks pretty good... My wife likes MB and I want to like MB but I don’t. I own two. I won’t be buying any more in the future. Why not? MB is not junk but has too many mechanical issues and repairs for how expensive they are. It’s not acceptable.
