I have the GLC, love it, awesome in snow, amazing heater, and super quiet for long trips. If you pick a model like this up when it’s about 3 years old you are gold.
Just bought mine with night package black exterior and exact same interior. Loving all the technology and features. Sometimes I just sit inside my car and play around with all the features.
We picked one up last week for my wife’s drive. She really likes it coming off a Land Rover. The digital systems are amazing but it takes hours to understand and adjust everything to your personal preferences. Great performance and handling vehicle although it requires premium fuel. Very spacious and comfortable interior with great cargo space options. My wife said, like her LR, it’s easier to spot in a parking lot due to its boxy design which stands out from all the other look-alike slope back SUVs
@@nieshadavenport4307 okay Those are great reason. I started to lease but ended up buying because I got a good deal that gave me a little equity out the door.
My E320 in for service recalls and they gave me a 2021 GLB250. It is a solid, tight drive on the road. It has a smooth ride and smooth quick speed if one needs to pass somebody or quickly exit. No wind noise while driving. Nice, comfortable seats. Nice in between vehicle. Sits higher than a car but not as high as a full SUV. It has sports mode too. Overall nice vehicle. Front bottom seats extend at legs. I guess for taller people. A lot of leg room for front seat area. It drives really nice!👍(Cup holders in back seats fold, which could easily break.👎)
So did Mercedes fixed the recalled part for you and how long did it take. am going through the same thing now. And were you driving the car before it was fixed? because I was told not to. Your response will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Congrats on 190k subscribers! Great review - GLB packages all the goods in a quality, understated way with this model. Starting off the year with a Benz! Happy 2021, guys!
Mercedes is leaving no SUV market niche unserved! Squarish styling reminds me of the GLK, that some missed when it was replaced with the more streamlined GLC.
Nothing brings more presence than the three-point star (aside from Rolls-Royce and Bentley). They definitely do need to watch out for Genesis though. They're slowly creeping up.
The non-luxury brands offer soooooo much more standard or as part of higher trims instead of 80% of the features being locked away behind packages. Like, you're really just paying a premium for the brand name and then paying more for features that are standard on cars that cost 30% less.
Photos can be so deceiving, last week I was shopping a new suv for my wife, at the Benz showroom we finally saw the GLB, it’s sooo small and short! It looks like the Mini Cooper clubman or whatever those ridiculous things called. Even GLC looks small, GLB looks like a dwarf compared to full size suv.
Somebody help me ...I have looked at dozens of GLB's online ...and see no difference in the size of the 7 inch & 10 inch screen. Is the physical size the same but the viewing area of the screen different?
great vehicle except for the seats, benz should either decide to be like volvo and go for the comfort of the average driver , vehicles that are made for a broader range of drivers that would be looking for utility of a boxier wagon for the family etc, and the comfort of a wider more comfortable seat and ride, not to compete with bmw on the autobahn in a bucket seat. I'm driving a glc 300.
You say "tons of headroom" but flashed up in your video says 36.9?? Nice that they are at least trying to make a car that will feel comfortable for taller drivers.
For 54 K it's hard for me to decipher why they put fake exhaust tips when they can easily have the tail pipes pointing out the back. Seems like a thing with some German vehicles. Anyway, Happy New Year to you both and hope 2021 will bring blessings and prosperity to you and everybody else 🙏🤞
I like this car, kinda, i mean, to not have any sort of alert for when you are backing up or cross traffic is wild, do you want me to hit something or someone. No lane-keeping assist. No auto lock, so you have to remember everytime or you can easily have your stuff stolen. No heated steering wheel is crazy for a car competing in mid size luxury. No overhead back view camera, no heads up display, no augmented reality nav. No navigation, no wireless charger, no wireless car play, no adaptive cruise are all things i wish but understand a little not having standard. The real crazy thing is paying to have a remote start, and door lock. Oh no Burmeister stereo. So many things my BMW 2 series had or my wife GMC Terrain has but Mercedes doesn't or at very least requires 10k extra to get when hey are already more at base price.
I thought mercedes was a luxury brand? Why so many basic luxury features need an additional package or cost? Screens are nice, the vents just screw it up
I don’t like the ac vents , most of the cars nowadays the ac vents are well integrates and almost imperceptible in the dashboard, those , can not be missed
I m not sure ‘what’s going on’ either? Please let me know if you ever find out? Nevertheless a decent video, if ever get one I’ll let you know. Just need to win lotto first.
#MercedesBenz USA needs to recall this GLB bec. Of transmission issue. When you come to a complete stopyou will hear a noise in the transmission like a ball hits ypur flooring. I regret buying this. Will try if this will go under lemon
LOVE that Benz gave a GLK successor. That old small boxy CUV with the 3.5L V6 was kind of a sleeper and good performer, being RWD. MB may have made this one too good, interior not withstanding. More interior volume than the GLC and a seemingly better value than the GLA. It is a pity to see a lowish-rent MB in a modern Mercedes, considering they've set the industry standard since the 2014 S-Class. But MB is smart enough to know that many people don't care or lust over top interior materials and will buy this based upon design. This example looks really good!
I recently bought a brand new GLB in Hong Kong. The car broke down in only 12 days due to a gearbox issue and it had to sit in back to Mercedes repair center for a month. We took it back after Mercedes claimed that they have fully fixed it, however it broke down again in the middle of the road after just 6 days (with my wife who is currently 28-weeks pregnant onboard). This faulty car has only been driven for less than 500km and its still in repair center now. Due to the safety concern, i demand a full refund or replace a new car as we cannot trust this car anymore. They turned down my request and came back with a counter offered asking me to trade in the current faulty car and buy another new one from them. I was so speechless and our whole family were so disappointed as we have been supporting Mercedes for over 15 years (owned another E class previously) Think twice if you still consider Mercedes as your family car since the gearbox problem has been a major issue in the past few years, friends of mine also having problems with their Mercedes.
Did you talk with the managers of Mercedes HK? I’d try to contact Mercedes German, replacement with a new car requires approval from higher ups and sometimes the branch manager just don’t feel like asking their higher up for one so they just tell you they don’t do that.
54 grand for this? I can get a bigger, more spacious Kia telluride or Hyundai palisade for far more cheaper with the same tech, I couldn’t care less about the badge, I’m not a badgesnob, plus this isn’t even a real Benz
I bought mine last week I love it . It’s my dream car and now time to dreams come true I am sooo happy Allhamdullha
Alhamdulilah. Enjoy it ☺️

Is it still working good?
@@babynieve9612 yes it still works like day 1.
I just got mine few days ago for my bday . Mercedes GLB suv red color & cream color seats I love it ❤❤❤❤

When u measure the sound in the car, would it be possible to insert the scores of other rivals? like the q3 xc40, etc. Keep up the good work!
Just bought the GLB AMC line and LOVE it
The GLB in Galaxy Blue metallic paint and the white/black interior with carbon fiber everywhere looks awesome
Bought mine November 15! Best decision
That mirror is loud at 4:17 come on Mercedes can we make that a little bit more quiet
“German quality”
Damn that's a dealbreaker my old w169 A-class is quieter!
I love the boxy look...reminds me a lot of VW's Tiguan
My dream crossover! Happy New Year guys! Stay safe and hope we will be out of this pandemic.
Happy New Year to you also! 🎉
@@CarConfections Thank you!

This GLB is mind blowing like your review...👍🏻👍🏻
In addition I like interior cabin 🤩
Thank you guys for this amazing tour of GLB🤗
I like it too, but the glc has a much nicer cabin
Love the term "Boxy Benz"

I saw this car in matte black and red/black interior and fell in love when I hate SUV’s I need it though
Want. not need
The new GLK
Exactly what I said, just not as powerful as GLK
Wow nice review on that glb 250
I really love the 2021 Mercedes GLB 250, it’s very nice and cool! Happy new year’s! 🎊
Absolutely awesome review y’all! Happy New Years!😸😸
Happy New Year to you also! 🎉
Personally I prefer the solid black color with the progressive lime and beige interior! Great review!
at this point,mercedes' lineup is more confusing than elon musk's child's name
Hahahahaha
Happy new year everything from Mercedes is the best definitely a car to consider
I wouldn’t say they are the best
They aren’t the best. Genesis gives them a run for their money.
Nothing brings more presence than the three-point star (aside from Rolls-Royce and Bentley). They definitely do need to watch out for Genesis though. They're slowly creeping up.
@@ZapFlashD true
Was watching this because I'm interested in the GLB and then I realized we are in the same location!!! I Immediately subscribed.
Nice! Welcome to the channel!
Needs about an 1 and 1/2 inches more lift.
Thanks for posting. I'm not in the market for this type of vehicle. I do enjoy watching your reviews. Take care safe travels.:)

So true. I am mad I purchased this car
that looks baller those rims too
Had mine for a week. Been in service twice with the door not closing
Oh shit. Why? Thinking of getting one now kinda doubting. 😑
You have to slam all the doors except the driver side in order to close them
@@nieshadavenport4307 you sure do. Also I am mad that rear camera beeps aren’t standard in a Benz . Like wtf
My mom is gonna have a heart attack when she sees this in her driveway. It's not super expensive and is like a MOTHERSHIP!
You're going to give her one?
@@babynieve9612 yup

How can I add the Drivers Parking assistance? To have the 360 camera. These reverse camera views are the worse.

Nice. I just picked mine up as well. How is your car running?

Oh and a terrible back up camera
This looks like MB asked themselves what it'd look like if they tried to replicate a 1st gen Forrester.
Love it. I got mine few weeks back.
I have glb 250 n my stero isnt touch screen
Why mercedes-benz don't have fog lights in the front bumper???
I saw they are selling the car with AMG body styling > 55k while adding AMG line package just costs 2~3k on bmw website. I don't know whhy? :(
Nice video:) what color is this?🤔
Is it artificial leather? I've heard the ventilated seats option comes with the real leather only.

Another $6k and you're in a 2021 GLE 350 with a much nicer interior...but hey, to each his own.
GLE is trash 🗑. I’m not a fan of the squared off look in back. It’s more boxy than the GLB in my opinion.
Baby GLS
You can get a new 300 hp Genesis GV80 which is far nicer and more luxurious inside and better looking for a lot less.
No, you can’t
@@Lalo20002 Starts at @$48k, loaded @$59k.
Got it.
No bloopers
Mazda CX5 Turbo is a better choice.
no 3rd row, less tech
The fact that that’s the startup chime comes to show how bougie this brand is
Looks just like a GLK but not as powerful
Better than bloc
🔥🔥🔥
A fatter version of the GLK. I like the GLK better!
$14K in options to make it nice... ugh
Damn it Mercedes!
I'm not a Mercedes fan their Interiors always looks like stuff is misplaced or just thrown in with no Rhyme or Reason in short it's just damned ugly.
Fake exhaust pipes, I hate fake shit. It is what is is, dont wrap it in in something it’s not.
