*The person reading this may you have an amazing day and may you stay blessed with your lovely family and may your dreams come true.. My dream is to have 20k.. I been struggling to get there* ,,, ❤
i own the GLB 250 4MATIC now for 2 years (5 seater) ... i put in there two ! 29 eBikes and one normal mullet Downhill Bike only removing the front wheels. (3 bikes!!!) Its unbelievable how much space for sports and outdoor fun the GLB offers. the front wheels of the bikes can be placed between the frame and the backdoors so the space in the middle is free for suitcases or a third bike. happy with the car and can recommend it 100 percent.
I own the glb200, same engine option, since last july year and heres my opinion. The bad: interior feels cheap inside, feels way behind infinity qx50 at same price point. That screens reflects too much light on a bright day. Dont like the run flat tire, too harsh ride. A bit too much sway on cornering at 30kmh and up at no load. So i changed them from 19 to 20 inch wheel and tire combo. Now the good: this car is agile. Love to drive it in tight space. Turn radius is small enough to do u turn within 2 and a half lane width. Enough power to carry 5 to 6 adult. Smoother ride with 6 or 7 people. Visibility from driver point of view, can be adjusted to almost as tall as X5 (the feel, not actual height) and as low as qx50. Space inside is good for 5 adults and 2 kids. Steering is awesome, light and responsive for daily driving.
You convinced me to buy one - (second hand) GLB 220 4 matic Premium Plus with Night Pack - 3 grandchildren under 7 was the motivation for the additional iso fix seats in the rear. I already also own the A220 AMG line premium and the identical dash means my wife has no issues jumping over into the GLB and being confident to drive it. (just wish it had memory seats -grrrr). No frustrations really and the ride is fine for an SUV although the A class is much sportier to drive. Space in the boot is limited with child no 3 in one of the back seats but we still managed a picnic box plus all the usual child accessories. I am happy with this car.
The UK version is crazy, I just bought this car in the US three months ago (5 seats with no AMG line, has power seats and lumbar and is 221 hp petrol). I test drove the GLC as well, and the tech in the GLB is what convinced me, the ride and cabin noise were pretty much the same. So far I love it, with only one complaint the sun visor doesn't extend, can you believe that, I didn't bother to check cause I thought of course it will, its a Mercedes..but no....
Yad .A when I said y’all are doing the most I meant it in terms of keeping us entertained🙂. Health workers too are doing the most but this is something different.
Completely forgot about this car. Had a glk temporarily when I was abroad and loved it. I need to replace my current car and gas been shortlisting another CLA shooting brake 4matic, an XC40 and a defender 90. Now I’ll have to shortlist this, looks a great, practical car for my needs.
Just got mine, I had it build with options that are important to me and I opted for the AMG night package with the 20inch wheels and the Burmester sound system. Amazing❤️👍🏾
Just purchase a GLB 250. My other car is a 16 STi. I’m really starting to fall in love with it the more I drive it. It’s interesting just how far apart they are and yet both a joy to pilot.
I had the GLE when it was the ML500 and it only cost me 45k. I don't need the bigger version, I just like the GLB and have built mine with what I need and should be getting it in a couple of months. I've test driven it and I'm happy with it.
@@JohnyMcNeal You spend that money on a LUXURY SUV then you expect power seats. If i get in after my wife/husband/partner and have to manually adjust the seat everytime i'd be pissed off
5 more inches in the wheelbase and 5 more in the cargo area will do wonders for this thing. It would fit 7 passengers with ease, and at 192", it'll be loads shorter than most SUV's and way more than most minivans.
Geez... for those saying "it's cheap AF" and "this is a poor man's SUV", how many people in the world do you think can actually afford this? Count your blessings, because obviously, it's cheap to you - but not to everyone else out there.
Hi Mat. First of all I would like to say I love your reviews, they are not boring and cover all important aspects when you choosing a car (for me at least) As for this car for me is an “avoid” option, for one simple reason, I have Mazda 6 10 plate and it has a bigger boot space then this 7 seater when you fold last two seats😂. Reason I’m looking for a 7 seater is purely for a boot space so for me this is a no no. Thanks 😊
Dr.AJ.10 hahaha. No. Sure, you may like them, but as somebody who bought bmw over decades i can tell you wholeheartedly: no. Their quality has gone so much downhill that I rather buy a vw or a vauxhall before i buy another bmw. The e30, e36, e46, e39 were great cars, but modern bmws are just for leasing. Use them two years and get the hell away from them before they fall apart.
Uhm he says that mercedes's system is the best for quite some time now. Since they launched their new MBUX with the A-Class Matt has stated that multiple times. The only thing that got his attention on being as good or maybe even better is the Android System of the Polestar 2.
I watched this review while on way to the Mercedes dealership to test drive a GLC. 2hrs later the mrs and I bought a brand new GLB 220d Premium Plus. Thanks Matt 👍
Bought a brand new GLB but broken down twice in two months time (in repair center for more than a month). Only drove for less than 500km and its still in repair center now. Whats more ridiculous is that they asked me to trade in the current faulty car and buy another new one from them. I was completely blown away! Think twice if you still consider Mercedes as your family car (mine was suddenly dead on the road) since the gearbox problem has been a major issue in the past few years, friends of mine also having problems with their Mercedes.
I’ve just purchased my GLB and hopefully mine doesn’t break down 👀. I have owned my cla for 5 years and have never had a problem with it. Was very upset to get rid off it and chop it in for a mum car 😂. Had an Audi before that and everything broke on the Audi and it was brand new. I spent more time in the courtesy a8 they gave me and I could never turn it around 😭
The windshield glass of the GLB250 cracks easily with any small flying object that hits the glass on the road. I have a 2020 GLB250 and so far The windshield has cracked 5 times in less than 2 years. I believe the cause is attributed to a flaw in the upright design of the front windshield. No recall has been announced and MB has not admitted any wrong.
I find the GLB far more appealing than the GLC. Regarding the 1.33-l turbo engine, I feel it gets a lot of hate from people who have never driven it. My father got a new B200 earlier this year with that motor and I am impressed with the smoothness and silence and the power. It’s powerful and torquey and definitely not underpowered. The fuel economy which my father achieves with his B200 is also incredible. With a soft foot and intelligent driving (in ECO Mode), he can get as low as 4.8 L / 100 km - impressive for any modern car, and this also includes some Autobahn driving (but he never drives faster than 120-130 km/h anyways).
I test drove the 1.3 and thought it a bit harsh and you need the revs up for the power. I also drove the electric which was fine - however the residuals are terrible - settled for the 220 diesel and its much nicer to drive than the 1.3 turbo, in my opinion
Totally. I work for Mercedes in another country (head office) and I have two observations. They are trying too hard to be everything to everyone; they need to decide if they are mass market or prestige. They can’t be both - to many models. I work for them and can’t keep up. Secondly - voice control. Same thing happens to me. My partner or I can be talking as we drive and just say the word ‘Mercedes’ ( which given you are driving the dam car could be frequent) and the voice control asks what you want!!! The trigger word needs to be changed - and it’s meant to be ‘Hey Mercedes’ - not just ‘Mercedes’ which is what happens. Or they need to fix it - again given the retail price point this shouldn’t be happening.
@@joshuathomas512 i would say that iDrive has changed. Now its more complicated but more functional than the older one. I prefer iDrive over MB even new MMI is better for me. I just dont like how it looks in mercedes, but the exterior of merc is amazing i mean A, CLA, C klasse.
Just a small discrepancy on the video during engine explanations, on petrols you put GLB on Diesels GLA not confusing just for fun. 😂😂😂 you are the best, im huge fun from 🇦🇱 Albania😉😉😉
They should have made it to look like a mini G class, to have some character , it would have played the mini G Class better than a Suziki Jimny . Now it's rather confusing with the GLA, GLC.
@@fran14b well maybe you are right . I meant from marketing perspective it would have made more impact if it was designed to look like a mini G class. In any case car is quite practical.
@@fran14b No. Its nothing like a GLS. The only reason GLS is mentioned is to make this heap look better. Its got nowhere near the usability, quality, comfort, spec or all the rest. The only thing this does better than a GLS is be cheap.
Great review as always Mat. I think the GLB is a fantastic car, very well thought out, and only minor negatives really.. How I wish you moved the second row of the GLE forward in like manner to give the third row a 'fair chance' 😢😉.
blured image of the 18 inch alloys, GLA text instead of GLB....I could go on. Some of these more recent reviews look very thrown together. Output clearly more important than quality !
Quick observation.... when you're talking about the prices of the different versions, you rightly talk about the GLB diesels......on the petrol models they are marked up as being GLA. It could appear that you are comparing apples and pears if, like some, people are just skimming through the video. In case you're wondering I did watch it the whole way through and enjoyed it.....
@Dylan Jacobs he became a dealer adboy as he got bigger really. he never presents any small criticisms anymore and doesn't do unique older cars as often as he used to. he just does the new releases from his dealer mates that are close to where he lives.
GLB is sacrificing boot space for 2 pax in the rear. If u are doing Cross Country with 7 pax, it's not possible unless u have a doraemon pouch or without luggage at all
I have the 2020 version and it’s a lovely car. My only qualm is with the gearbox which revs up excessively when you brake the car a lot more than it should. Overall very happy!
The AMG GLB 35 would be such a great family car for a person who loves driving yet has to carry their spouse and their kids in terms of design (inside out), performance, practically and value for money (a 7-seater AMG for 50 grand sounds promising which would be a similar price to the Tiguan R but as a VWG fan I admit that for the same price I'd go with the Merc)
After waiting for 3 months ours broke down in 24 hours. Stuck in park. They're changing the transmission. There is a recall on some mercedes models but they didn't mention ours is one of them.
It was either the GLB or Discovery Sport for me but I discarded GLB purely because I was looking for a petrol SUV and the GLB only does 1.3 petrol engine in the uk unless you go for the 35.
@@raphaelkaufmann2078 but when the new GLC will have 5 seats only then it wont make sence. GLS GLE and GLB have 7 seats but the GLC in the middle doesnt...🤔
Actually Mat, this MB SUV is made in Mexico, as well the Audi Q5, the first one in Aguascalientes (COMPAS Plant) and the second one in Puebla (Audi Plant) greetings from here.
Amazing car I have a 2020 model (AMG Line Premium) and one problem keeps coming back after a third visit to the garage- windscreen whistling! If you are driving above 170 km/h (Autobahn, Germany,) you may hear it
My 2003 Opel Vectra holds the bonet up with two pneumatic struts that never broke, even after nearly 20 years. When did essential car equipment become so rare?
Had one of these back when they came out in 2020. Had FOUR recalls in 12 months, first model made in Mexico at their new factory.. avoid the early cars. Also after one winter the exterior chrome detailing was etched by road salt. The best or nothing, I’m not convinced!
D’ya know what? It’s just hit me. The reason why Mat is so good. He has a genuine love of cars, like me. For many other reviewers, it’s just a job and it shows in their videos. Well done Mat. Top Gear’s loss is RUclips’s gain. 👏👏 Oh, and I’m watching because I want one sooo bad.

It could appear that you are comparing apples and pears if, like some, people are just skimming through the video. In case you're wondering I did watch it the whole way through and enjoyed it.....
I'm going to buy one..but not with low profile tires..we have too many pot holes in NE..good job Mate!
19:32 we all know you're not actually doing anything on your phone there, Mat ;)
I know that with everything happening in the world things are tough, but keep you chin up my kings, you got this :)
Doug DeMuro be like: Small crossover from Mercedes
Which he likes
he's kinda missing a lot on his recent reviews
Nikola Zivanovic Doug : Why the GLB 2021 is the coolest Small SUV ...... proceeds to give it a cool factor of 1
@@RAKITHA9With the value score being a typical 6/10
@Dylan Jacobs he became a dealer adboy as he got bigger really. he never presents any small criticisms anymore and doesn't do unique older cars as often as he used to. he just does the new releases from his dealer mates that are close to where he lives.
In America, the GLB comes with power seats on the base models and we have the 5 seat as standard, the extra row is a upgrade lol
GLB is sacrificing boot space for 2 pax in the rear. If u are doing Cross Country with 7 pax, it's not possible unless u have a doraemon pouch or without luggage at all
Honestly i think the GLB is the best looking in the GL line
I'm a simple man. I see mat in the thumbnail and I click on it.
I have the 2020 version and it’s a lovely car.
My only qualm is with the gearbox which revs up excessively when you brake the car a lot more than it should.
Overall very happy!
The AMG GLB 35 would be such a great family car for a person who loves driving yet has to carry their spouse and their kids in terms of design (inside out), performance, practically and value for money (a 7-seater AMG for 50 grand sounds promising which would be a similar price to the Tiguan R but as a VWG fan I admit that for the same price I'd go with the Merc)
After waiting for 3 months ours broke down in 24 hours. Stuck in park. They're changing the transmission. There is a recall on some mercedes models but they didn't mention ours is one of them.
Well, the B class is bigger and more practical than the C class so...
B Class looks like a van
@@abhishetty2637 it is a mpv
I love this new GLB ! ❤️
7:55 “ ooo Elo trapped “ 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for the video. By far, this is the best I've seen so far.
It was either the GLB or Discovery Sport for me but I discarded GLB purely because I was looking for a petrol SUV and the GLB only does 1.3 petrol engine in the uk unless you go for the 35.
19:01 SAYS ITS THE BEST INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM
last week THE POLESTAR 2 HAS THE BEST
The Mercedes GLC and the Mercedes GLB should swap names. Otherwise it makes no sense...
the GLB interior looks much better than GLC, but, there are more metallic parts in GLC which make GLC more luxurious
Wait for the new GLC and it will make sense again
@@raphaelkaufmann2078 but when the new GLC will have 5 seats only then it wont make sence. GLS GLE and GLB have 7 seats but the GLC in the middle doesnt...🤔
@@raphaelkaufmann2078 then probably 3 more years cuz we just have the new GLC facelift
Tuấn Anh Phạm yeah 2022 I guess. New C class in spring of 2021 I‘d expect it one year later
YES.Mercedes like a bit lies..I really love this part of the video😂😂😂😂😂
Actually Mat, this MB SUV is made in Mexico, as well the Audi Q5, the first one in Aguascalientes (COMPAS Plant) and the second one in Puebla (Audi Plant) greetings from here.
Surprisingly good-looking car that doesn't scream "bulk" all the time. I hope a 45 version is coming as the counterpart to the mad G 63.
The GLC is most definetly better looking
Who else has the habit of guessing the verdict ✋🏼
I cant believe it but that looks like an mercedes bens thats actually bang for buck
Amazing car I have a 2020 model (AMG Line Premium) and one problem keeps coming back after a third visit to the garage- windscreen whistling! If you are driving above 170 km/h (Autobahn, Germany,) you may hear it
My 2003 Opel Vectra holds the bonet up with two pneumatic struts that never broke, even after nearly 20 years.
When did essential car equipment become so rare?
I'm not sure if I like the look or find it a Mercedes minivan
Well it's the replacement for the B Class which was a dull minivan.
Andre Coutinho u are right but also wrong
@@MrAndreCoutinho No, because the B Class is still being made.
@@near_nullsieben is anyone still buying them?
@@MrAndreCoutinho lot of hotels have them
Fun fact: *you haven't even watched half of the video yet*
I’m literally 1 second in
3:46 this isn’t a gla matt
Maverick I know
🤦♂️
Had one of these back when they came out in 2020. Had FOUR recalls in 12 months, first model made in Mexico at their new factory.. avoid the early cars. Also after one winter the exterior chrome detailing was etched by road salt. The best or nothing, I’m not convinced!
Finally I have been waiting for this review from mat💪
Better than discovery sport
I’ll pass it looks like a funeral car 😬
Lmao it doesn’t
This one comment alone can kill the future of GLB😂
How does this looks like a funeral car. And what is a funeral car? Just say you don't like it
@@patrickamponsah679 a funeral car is a long bodied car that is big enough to fit a coffin.
@@rumyan7126 So the right word is a hearse. Which it doesn't have any resemblance with
Can someone explain 1:06 first suggestion of Google, Carole Baskin.
Mat apparently Googled her - why can't you? ;-)
D’ya know what? It’s just hit me. The reason why Mat is so good. He has a genuine love of cars, like me. For many other reviewers, it’s just a job and it shows in their videos. Well done Mat.
Top Gear’s loss is RUclips’s gain. 👏👏
Oh, and I’m watching because I want one sooo bad.
I can always relate to all his videos because it's the same in my country-right hand drive.👍
2:15 not London taxi its fake taxi
Search on Google Chrome
I wonder if Matt's mom asks him when he'll have kids and a wife
He has a girlfriend
Not saying that she will end up as his wife
@@ankgamer7959 ...I wonder if her exhaust gets the 'stick of truth'?
@@albertdesalvo7273 LOOOOL
It's Mat, not Matt lol
Looks like a 4x4 Hearse. 😗
Like the shorts and jumper Matt!
