I have this as a loaner since yesterday. I have a GLE450 and I’m really impressed with the GLB’s build and acceleration coming compared to the GLE. For me, I’m 6 feet tall, the SUV is too small but I was pretty impressed with this car.

[@MercOne]

Acceleration? Do you have a GLE350?

[@cloudniner4lifex]

@@MercOne no I have the GLE450. For being the GLB250, it surprised me that it accelerated rather quickly or at least it felt like it… obviously it’s a smaller car but it did its thing.

[@tdub25]

Jeez they are giving out glb’s as service loaners…. My local mb dealership atleast has a fleet of c’s and glc’s for loaners…. I’d switch dealerships if I were you

[@cloudniner4lifex]

@@tdub25 nah they were giving me a c class. I hated it the last time around. Since the glc is going to be the same thing I picked the glb. I hated the door handles on the c class.

[@o0evelynecastano0o]

How do you fit in the back seat? My son is 6ft and I want to make sure he fits lol

[@californiabudreviews758]

Love the practicality of the GLB but I had to overdo it and went with a 2023 AMG GLB 35. It’s great for the family and the kid in me lol great review btw

[@boblansonfig3972]

What’s your thoughts on it now that you’ve owned it ? I’m looking. To buy my first luxury car upgrade from a Mazda and considering the same car you have . I’m aware that luxury cars will cost more maintenance wise but just curious on the GLB

[@larryrogers9060]

I always appreciate a good refresh to keep things fresh. And not everything needs to be changed fully. Improve what's needed and leave the rest alone ❤❤❤

[@gloriclyoko]

Just hope to express my gratitude for continue checking if all exterior lights are leds or not. Really helpful for some folks! Review detail like this makes car confection stands out from the crowd!

[@CarConfections]

We appreciate that! Thank you!

[@kristielewis1267]

Just got the 2024 and I traded in the gle350. I'm happy with the better gas mileage ❤

[@majorrgeek]

@kristielewis1267 - you don't buy a Merc for fuel mileage

[@batmore1]

Great review as usual. The GLB really does look like the little sibling of the GLS. I actually like the tail lights on GLB better than the ones on the GLS. Thanks again for the great review.

[@CarConfections]

Thanks for watching!

[@keska01]

does even the base model come with ambient lighting?

[@Theonestrongbusleader]

This is my only Mercedes-Benz SUV to buy.

[@majorrgeek]

Aschoolbusandsimulatorfan2219 - sure if the badge is the only thing you like

[@jdbenavides5334]

It appears that the full screen for android auto is/was fixed. Or Not sure if Apple CarPlay still doesn’t utilize the full screen in the MBUX system. Was there an upgrade to the system as well? I have a 2023 GLB250 and the blocky, not fully utilized screen for Apple CarPlay drives me nuts!!

[@tanekiagrant8479]

I would get the Mercedes but they don't have to upgrade their technology

[@mspmatt747]

I love your sunglasses...what brand/model are they? I also love the video lol, GLB has always been a vehicle on my radar.

[@CarConfections]

Thanks! I honestly have no clue about the sunglasses but I know they're not like a big name brand

[@DominionAnako-bb7ry]

Love your video, guys 👦

[@CarConfections]

Thanks so much!

[@ryanfrisby7389]

Excellent review as always!

[@JustJah123]

Its a nice car for a simple person, especially as an intro to luxury vehicles.

[@majorrgeek]

LOL at last one honest comment

[@darriontunstall3708]

I really love it! I love the updates it’s a great price!! I love all Mercedes

[@majorrgeek]

the upgrades don't outweigh the massive depreciation and low reliability

[@Thebuscommunityleader]

Amazing video guys.

[@tanekiagrant8479]

Like what they have in the new GLC

[@MikeLi1019]

Is the Android Auto/Carplay full screen now instead of the measly 7 inches?

[@bradleygrover1138]

thanks for the review. given the limited feature set available, your review convinced me to cross this one off the list

[@CarConfections]

Thanks, glad we could help!

[@adrianrubi5012]

Is there gonna be a GLB 45 AMG?

[@mbud7577]

Prices are relative. This car costs USD185,000 in Singapore. My daughter wanted me to buy one. I told her we're buying a Nissan Qashqai instead. 'Only' USD136,000!

[@anthonystech1016]

It seems that for 2024, all the Mercedes SUVS got the new Mercedes startup chime that the C300 and S580 has.

[@vishalmatam]

Nice car, but just not a fan of the new grille design. Both the GLS and now the GLB end up looking like Mercedes Sprinter vans

[@rebeccafashion_lver]

Nice video! I go to Lexington all the time and have been to James Motor Co. several times. I love Mercedes.

[@hyena8385]

does the Glb 35 have a heated steering wheel?

[@amandaavia]

The grille looks like the GLK a little. Or like the older Benzes. Like why did they do this 😭

[@majorrgeek]

the GLB is just a pretend merc, a buggie with a money making badge

[@CarsandTechInfo]

I can't find the option for ventilated front seats as an individual option on the configurator for the GLA & GLB since they refreshed it which is very weird. Have they stopped offering it on those models?

[@BluegrassElevators]

Great review!

[@CarConfections]

Thanks man!

[@jamarparish]

The rims look like the ones on my 2021 Nissan Rogue SV

[@rrange]

I like this new look, made me double look at the pic thinking it’s a GLS

[@shannelartis8014]

I’m in love with this vehicle. I’m excited about my near future purchase! Great review per usual!

[@CarConfections]

Thanks!

[@majorrgeek]

I usually mark down reviewers who lack the factual depreciation, low reliability & mechanical shortcomings in their reviews

[@ArtsAssignment]

GLB is assembled in Mexico now so no thanks!

[@severinlourenco8355]

So underpowered for a CUV/SVU, as any Benz, you get what you paid for. 😅

[@reduxith]

Why dic they downgrade the headlights from a projector/reflector mix to a full reflector unit…

[@Growingupinthe80s]

Does the hybrid help hide the annoying stop start when taking off?

[@CarConfections]

We think it’s one of the best systems for hiding it on the Mercedes

[@elkinseandiddypoh2185]

Please kindly do review on GTV KAIN 2.0L PLEASE

[@Jouseca27]

They upgrade the interior and downgrade the exterior… I’m glad I chose the Lexus NX 350H over this car.

[@user-ty2hl7sf5v]

Just bought this today 😊😊

[@erikbaxstrom551]

Wait, so how do you control the MBUX? Only touchscreen or also that rubber pad thing?

[@CarConfections]

Only touchscreen now

[@savage_skirt5386]

strongly considering this, mostly for the parking assist

[@majorrgeek]

most people buy it for the badge

[@jaeraee3437]

This is definitely my next ride♥️♥️♥️

[@majorrgeek]

until the massive depreciation and low reliability costs catches up

[@GameParkNoob]

Whats about the head issues in 250 and 35 models, nobody is talking about it but so many engines are still affected by this 🤭 and mercedes can not fix it since 2019 as there are still these issues in models produced in 2023.. 🤦🏻‍♂️ I‘m glad that I could sell mine 250 after the cylinder head was replaced in only 22k km..

[@CTOInformation]

which engine model you are talking about?

[@GameParkNoob]

All 250 and 35 models from 2019 till 2023 in CLA, GLA, GLB and A class.. all American and Canadian owners were informed and the warranty was extended. In Europe there is no information regarding these issues.. we tried to push it and required feedback from swiss mercedes but they will not extend any warranty for this.. thus I would not recommend to buy these models..

[@yzoooon]

Thats why I bought the 200 even though I don’t like the engine option.

[@Prakash-in]

What's the reliability score ?

[@CarConfections]

www.carconfections.com/reliability

[@pcbdude33]

Can’t even compare this gorgeous design and specially reliability to some Lexus NX350 drove it cheap cheap cheap

[@majorrgeek]

wit till it breaks down then call it cheap cheap chip

[@TravisNguyen-fi8ei]

anyone know the cargo height? not sure why he didnt measure it

[@nathanwright8616]

that new grille looks awful

[@majorrgeek]

the massive badge on the grille is what bumps up the price by $thousands

[@HiddenWen]

The new grills don't look good.

[@ARose-fe7qt]

Cargo is 62 cubic ft (22 w seats)

[@scottbrawley407]

2024 Mercedes-Benz GLB250 4MATIC!

[@stevenbennett3922]

No.

[@agent3swife]

I agree steven

[@majorrgeek]

I test drove the GLB and its a total let down and lacks any WOW factor in every department. If you are considering this suv as a daily drive forget it, it comes no where close to what is left of the once Mercedes great luxury drive feel and image, a buggy with a money making badge

[@KRIPSYNODUTS]

Why there is price increase of $5000 on base in 2024 compare with 2023.

[@nishantthaccker1173]

Yes MB really went crazy with the price changes on all models - normally it's like $800/$1000 per model year but now they went full on ...

[@KRIPSYNODUTS]

@@nishantthaccker1173 they added all the options to justify the price. This way when they come out with new models in 2 years they can keep this high price and that time will remove the options.

[@mikeburton8426]

From every angle, that vehicle looks like it could be 10 to 15 years old. Not a single line or angle that impresses.

[@nishantthaccker1173]

It's more practical then anything you will get, maybe the exterior is a bit dated but the MB logo/branding will compensate for it... now matter how beautiful a Hyundai looks it doesn't have the same brand clout !!

[@Jeez001]

Looks cheap why buy this over an BMW X5, RDX/MDX, Lexus RX/TX or Genesis GV70/80

[@nishantthaccker1173]

Yes with the price being where it's now you can get an X3 in same price range!

[@janaem7857]

No spare tire

[@vinu_s]

GLB is not a half priced GLS.
