  • Mercedes is ready to blow away the BMW X1 & Audi Q3 with the 2020 GLB 250. Under the hood is a 2.0L turbocharged inline-4 that is producing 221HP & mated to a 8-speed DCT transmission. It's exterior has that unique Mercedes Benz styling lines, and this GLB has option wheels. On the inside you will find plenty of room and 3-row seating capability. Is the NEW 2020 Mercedes Benz GLB 250 the BETTER luxury compact SUV to BUY?

    This thing is a three row? Im genuinely impressed they managed to fit that in a vehicle this small. Like really impressed. Like this third row is ACTUALLY what most people are looking for, aka they have 2-3 kids of their own and will likely have their friends every now and then. Like if its used 10-15 times a year, this would be ideal. Obviously if you have 4+ kids that will be in it daily, a fullsize cuv/suv or especially a minivan is still best

    Looks like the AMG package was added on, which IMO isn't worth the extra as I do not see any specs that affect engine perfomrance - looks cosmetic only. If that's the case, you can shave off $5000 or so off MSRP and still have a well apportioned vehicle.

    Reminds me of my old GLK. Wish this had a V6 but it is 2020 so I get it . Just not sure why they need yet another "letter" in the lineup. I like the boxy design and the panda color dynamic inside and out but will get dirty as this is clearly for a young growing family. So to be clear an "inflated stepped on marshmallow" would basically be a marshmallow right ? LOL !! 3rd row is for kids only and quite frankly only functions for "tiny" kiddos. G- Wagon comparison is a serious stretch and seems to be a line MB might be spoon feeding reviewers to include in their reviews. I am just not sure this model is needed and if it really addresses any real market demand/need. Only time will tell.
