We just bought a GLB 250 and we made sure that it had the MB Tex seating surfaces rather than leather. I told my wife that Thomas would be proud of us! Enjoy your in-depth reviews. Greetings from Tennessee!
I am really hyped bout this car. Finally somewhat "affordable" compact suv that actually looks like real suv. And with amg lines and luxury interior it looks like premium car for sure.

"'Reasonable' has never been a consideration when going for an AMG" Right! :D Excellent review and the driving fun was coming through with flying colours.
This is a very good comprehensive review ..... I would be most interested in the GLB 250 . If you could review that model it would be great. Thanks for your comments.
Hi Thomas, excellent informative review! 👍 This will soon become the highest selling MB globally, due to the space, infotainment, quality and performance at a competitive price. I think it’s a very handsome little SUV inside and out. IMO, it’s best in class. We just recently opted for the GLC 43 (in Thomas Blue); my wife wanted the taller vehicle and I fell in love with the performance and sound of the twin turbo V6 with sport exhaust. We did not need the third row. Looking forward to the GLB 45 AMG review!
Many thanks for the excellent Review. Great images looking out forward through windscreen - great driving, and impressive landscapes and views. Personally, not too keen on AMG's firm suspension for the terrible UK's road surfaces!
11:52 what are you talking about? cooled seats are mostly leatherette ones. Fabric ones usually don't even need cooling. Both Kia and Hyundai for example are using leatherette cooled seats for a while now.
Complimenti una recensione molto approfondita molto dettagliata ben fatta ben spiegata complimenti. Un'auto indubbiamente di grande bellezza anche se in Italia un'auto così non costerà meno di €50000 una cifra sicuramente non alla portata di tutti. Grazie comunque di tutte le recensioni che ci fai vedere

This car is awesome in this trim. I hate Mercedes for doing those marketing things where they sell base model cars which look so ugly that you are almost obliged to pay extra for better look... Thanks for the review, Thomas.
I like appearance. I prefer the AMG Line, the cost is lower. I am not concerned with the added power of the True AMG although I wouldn't mind it. However I may end up persuaded to purchase the higher priced True AMG because I want the vertical grill design it offers. Question.. can I order a new build from Mercedes with the True AMG Vertical Grill design?
I can reccomend a new concept for folks to try: if you don't like it, don't buy it. All cars can't be all things to all people. Want a throaty sound, get a sports car. Off roading is your thing? Get a common 4x4. Too easy.
Very good review, and what a car for that price! I am also very interrested in the new GLA, coming this spring, and also your exellent reviewing on that model. Going to order one of them, not the AMG though, a price and comfort matter. But when is it coming? The factory in Germany is closed two weeks because of the corona virus. Let’s hope everything goes back to normal as quick as possible and that the spreading of the virus slows down when more and more get immune, if that is the soloution, I don’t know...
Incorrect - not only Tesla and Mercedes are offering heated and cooling seats, as do Lincoln and Ford for years, as well as Audi and Volkswagen plus their sub-brands.
GLB 35 sounds very quiet -no mention of sports exhaust, Thomas? I remember the A35 video earlier this year , and with the same engine it surely sounded way better?
Hi Thomas. Great review. I'm looking for a new vehicle but I'm very confused between GLB AMG and GLC 300. Both are at same price and I dont care about 3 row seating. GLC feels bigger but GLB AMG has more room. GLC is seated a bit higher but GLB AMG gives me AMG tag, better engine - see how confused I am. Can you please please help. Thank you!
what would you suggest as i can see you are driving cars in Germany so what is better diesel or petrol engine, my point is diesel scandal in Europe so it is silly to buy Diesel GLB?
Hi Thomas , i just placed order for a 200D GLB . I had a C220D back in 2004 and I loved that car, confort and built quality and materials were excellent . What i fear about this GLB is that materials in interiors might be quite on the cheap side, I heard a lot of rumors about the interior being "rattling" quite a lot . Did you get the feeling that you were driving a "cheaper" Benz ? Do you think in the long or short term the fact that it is made in Mexico and perhaps with cheaper materials might show ? Thanks
@@ekimandersom4478 it’s been a WINDERFUL car all together . No rattles . Driven 60.000 km . Plastics are not as they used to be 20 years ago but Benz is still Benz
I’m still split on if I like the GLB, but my word this car is crying for a decent aftermarket exhaust, it sounds so wimpy!! Stupid noise regulations. Great review.
A tiny follow up question as I'm considering an "unreasonable" swap: being someone who really enjoys good quality sound system while driving long distances on German autobahns in high speed, you mentioned several times that the noise insulation is not the greatest. Would you say that the AMG version of GLB, in comparison to current B Class 250, would be significantly worse in that respect? I'm trying to get a some kind of feeling as to whether in a long run it would start to irritate if I could not enjoy my music to the full potential of the Burmester while eating mileage. Thanks for your brilliant and thorough reviews!
Hi Thomas, thank you for awesome review like always. I'm seriously considering getting this car so I have some questions. What options do you recommend for most comfort for the base model of GLB 250 4matic? I'm thinking 18'' wheel + adaptive suspension. Also how do you think this car compares to other cars in similar price range? I like all the techs in this car but wondering if you think there are better choices from different makers. Thanks!
Hey m8, thanks! Indeed 250 best engine and adaptive suspension. The smaller the wheels, the more comfort you ll have. 18 should still work indeed. Still 17" will be more plush in the riding, gotta find a good compromise between visual and comfort
@@autogefuehl Id definitely take 17" as you are suggesting if there was on option but for US 18 is smallest wheel. Since you test out many cars, how do you think GLB compares to cars like GLC, X3, and etc?
The GLB is 10 cm longer in wheelbase to a B class. Shouldn't there be even more legroom available, than there is ? I saw Thomas sitting in a B class before and the knee room didn't look much different.
@@autogefuehl wow thanks for the extremely quick response.....quarantine effect huh? 😄 In numbers doesnt sound like that big of a difference...cant wait to see one in the flesh
Ahhhhhh, the variable sunlight conditions, when the sun is going in and out of the clouds... curse you weather gods!!! You should see on a big film set when this happens. 60 people sitting around waiting with maybe 2 guys (the DP and gaffer) with their gaffers glass looking up at the sun for a good break. You can correct this after in editing if you have the time or leave the camera in automatic iris. One or the other. Trying to correct a correction is a pain in the butt. Any who, this GLB is going to eat a lot of GLC sales imo. Kind of strange they introduced this vehicle, but then again, people can get enough SUVs in their lives can they? ;)
Thomas, thanks for the video, your car reviews are really great. About this car, it looks beautiful, but I felt quite disappointed after seeing how the car works on the motorway. Is this car that noisy? I'm no talking about the motor sound but a lack of interior insulation/quality at high speed? I think that SUV, specially premium SUVs, should also give the confort as an standard.
In this day and age also, we are still talking about how a door closes, how the grill looks, real exhaust or not, I.e. no real innovation in these cars tech from traditional automakers, I pity for Thomas that he is so energetic unfortunately there is nothing to talk about.
It’s a 50 mins over review. There’s so much more for one to appreciate Thomas’s review, probably you are suitable to some reviews of cars that wow. Short and sweet
No offence, but why should somebody buy a GLB as an Amg? In my opinion the car is one of the "not so beautiful" cars of Mercedes, the B class is normally the class for older people. And I think a Amg version doesn't fit for a B or GLB.
Not AMGs fault...new emissions and environmental laws make it more and more difficult to make interesting cars. Be happy that it didn't get worse (and it will).

thanks so much! please recommend us! :)
@@autogefuehl will do.
This might be my favorite Mercedes(not the AMG one due to the firm suspension) but overall I love it! Excellent review! Stay awesome 😎

I was waiting for this car's review. Thank you Thomas
very detailed and comprehensive review!
Thank you so much! Please recommend / share our channel and our videos 🙏
Really like the GLB35, am considering to trade in my S213
Love the classic boxy shape with the modern mercedes/amg lines
A45S version of this would be insane.
whenever I want to see new German cars, I open
Autogefühl channel.. perfect content, Thomas! P.S Greetings from Ukraine:)

Great video Tomas. I like this over the GLC.

Thanks will do at a later stage!
The new Mercedes GLB 35 AMG is very cool and the color I liked is blue is very elegant in the car interior.
I have waited for this review! Thanks, Thomas!
Thank you Tomas . . . very, very nice motor and superb presentation . . .

Great review Thomas! The acceleration is very good on this one, so smooth !
👍😄
I've purchased many cars based upon Thomas reviews my go to before heading to the dealership much love from Southern California U.S.
I am definitely buying this car
Loved the video 👍🏽👍🏽
Another great review......
Many thanks for the excellent Review. Great images looking out forward through windscreen - great driving, and impressive landscapes and views. Personally, not too keen on AMG's firm suspension for the terrible UK's road surfaces!
We need the full driving reviews of the Mercedes CLA35 AMG & A35 Sedan AMG too!! Pleaseee....
Great review Thomas as always, you really are one of the best out there at what you do.
Appreciated 🤘
I'll take the Galaxy blue with the black pkg + red seats! I like the boxy look! Reminds me the GLK!
11:52 what are you talking about? cooled seats are mostly leatherette ones. Fabric ones usually don't even need cooling. Both Kia and Hyundai for example are using leatherette cooled seats for a while now.
Most manufacturers only offer that with real animal skin combination sadly. Good with kia/Hyundai!
Insulation made it off my list.
So you've done test drive? noise insulation is bad?
UK Mercedes not getting GLB250 at launch very sad.
GLB35 or Tiguan R better?
Surprised to see the 'Panamericana' grille on a 35 model! Does this suggest they will cascade this from the 63 down to 43 and 53 models in future?

Brilliant review as always! Cool classic boxy styling. I wonder how is the noise insulation? especially from the tires?
thanks Tom! Well that AMG was pretty loud imho, but we ll soon test the GLB 250 to compare!
gorgeous, gorgeous
Direct competitor of Countryman JCW 306hp 450nm, exactly the same performance figures.
Kind of reminds of A WRX Subaru Forester...
Oh yes that is the one
ALL GOOD and top class. But few negative : too long videos + why dont you use bluetooth mic instead of holding a pole?

Would prefer if you guys review the regular variant than the top end/sporty (AMG, M, RS) variation of the cars...
We ll also do that
Its often that the regular is Diesel which is irrelevant to our US viewers
The normal GLB looks rather great because it is focused on being a crossover, but this one looks very bad because it’s NOT A SPORTY CAR
nice car
Ive looked everywhere and cannot find an answer... I know the GLB200 uses a Renault engine, but does the GLB200d also use a Renault?
Nice car germany
إن الله هو الرزاق ذو القوة المتين
Is Thomas wearing an IWC watch?
Alpina
The door closing sound was really bad, or at least it seemed like it.
it looks dated already. Great review as always. liked!
Normal amg looks way better with that panamericana grill. 👌👌👌🔥

Any idea how Amg 35 drives off-road ?
Hi Thomas, this or RSQ3? :)
Does it sit higher or lower than a macan gts?
27:10 gear shifts are really nice, better than some higher AMG models

@@autogefuehl But to the point of being disturbing if listening to music? What was your feeling when rolling on the highway, please? ;)
If noise insulation is important for you, do not go for the AMG
Any idea when you will be reviewing the A 35 sedan and the CLA 45/45s Thomas?
Hey m8, seen a35 hatch and Brians a45 video? We ll try to put some more variations on , noted ur request
Autogefühl Come to think of it, I’ve seen both videos already but I live in the US so I’m more interested in the A 35 sedan.
Oki
Kind of wish it was in between e class and c tbh
Why isn’t there going to be a GLB 45 version of the AMG GLB like with the GLA 45?
No market probably. Most buy it as a family vehicle

Is it the heavy door type like the C Class or a light door like a B Class?

4.80 vs 4.65 m (GLB)
@@autogefuehl wow thanks for the extremely quick response.....quarantine effect huh? 😄
In numbers doesnt sound like that big of a difference...cant wait to see one in the flesh
Does the cabin seem quiet? The video has loud street noise while driving. In comparison to the GLC, how is the cabin noise?
Higher
Thomas blue is sapphire blue. Do they make sapphire blue?
Brilliant blue they call it :)
How does this compare to Cupra Ateca comfort and performance wise?
I did comment on that in the driving part, didnt I ?
Ahhhhhh, the variable sunlight conditions, when the sun is going in and out of the clouds... curse you weather gods!!!

Off road driving ?
Hi thomas….is there any spare tyre for this model? Run flat tyres is more expensive and more difficult to maintain
Not sure, did i show in the trunk?
@@autogefuehl i think so…
What's wrong with Mercedes' design?
Looks weird because for what it is, it doesn’t have high enough clearance
Odd looking proportions
Lexus also offer cooled and heated seats.
Cooled seat in combination with nuluxe leatherette ?
Autogefühl if cooled seat meaning is same as ventilated seats then yes :). Ex: the RX model is heated and ventilated nuluxe material seats.
Awesome!

thanks! Road were quite rough, and I also think the AMG trim is maybe louder
litl gls
So amg A35 hatchback or sedan and glb A35 AMG same engine and power output is same ??? And comes with mbux ?
yes
and yes
Why does the glb 35 get the panamericana grill but a35 doesn't?
maybe with a facelift
@@autogefuehl then I would buy the current a35 and replace it with a panamericana grill 😂😂
😂
How about consumption Thomas ?
Didnt i mention?
Autogefühl You did, but it wasn't clear enough for my ears! You said approx. 9lt / 100km?
Aye minimum
In this day and age also, we are still talking about how a door closes, how the grill looks, real exhaust or not, I.e. no real innovation in these cars tech from traditional automakers, I pity for Thomas that he is so energetic unfortunately there is nothing to talk about.
It’s a 50 mins over review. There’s so much more for one to appreciate Thomas’s review, probably you are suitable to some reviews of cars that wow. Short and sweet
@@KennethTTM My anger is towards the traditional autos, not for the reviewer
does anyone know if the exhaust pops and crackles like the a35?
Mine does in Canada... no opf filter here.. but it's not super loud.. it's more subtle compared to other AMG's
No offence, but why should somebody buy a GLB as an Amg? In my opinion the car is one of the "not so beautiful" cars of Mercedes, the B class is normally the class for older people. And I think a Amg version doesn't fit for a B or GLB.
Think this just looks odd, not a fan of it and not sure why they need one just buy the better looking GLC.
These new "AMGs" are a disgrace to the former real AMG.
Not AMGs fault...new emissions and environmental laws make it more and more difficult to make interesting cars. Be happy that it didn't get worse (and it will).
