Fahad Mostafa No problem, I get it. Also this car looks really practical, if needed it has space for 7 people, but more comfortable for 4-5 passengers with a big storage. It’s not a big vehicle, but not too small either and perfect for concrete but also able to go on light offroad terrain.
@@attilaszolnoki8604 Yeah, actually I was surprised when they showed the back seats. I didn't think they would do that but hey, we will take it. Right, the all wheel drive system makes it possible. Also, there is good ground clearance too and the exhausts, finally no fake exhausts on a non AMG model.
“Here’s everything you need to know” Mat! You didn’t tell me will there be an insane AMG version? I really hope so, would be AMAZING! Smaller than a Macan and AMG
It‘s the perfect Mercedes-Benz. My grandfather is going to buy one, he told me because it’s easy to get into (at least in comparison to his current E-Class) and smaller, cheaper model with more space than for example an GLC (also in the trunk) because of the spacious method of construction. (And GLC would be a competitor for his current E-Class since the GLE is more expensive than his base model and you already have more space with a SUV).
Wasn't convinced about this car from the camouflaged spy shots and renders, but the production version is probably the best looking of all the cars on this A Class platform, can't wait to see what the GLB45 will look like
We took the GLB out for a test drive this past weekend. We also drove the Hyundai Palisade. Personally, I found the Palisade too big for me. I like the room, but I don’t feel comfortable driving huge SUVs. We also have an elderly parent living with us. So the height of the vehicle has to be taken into account. I think the GLB checked off all the items on my list. First, the car does not feel like a big SUV. Second, it’s the right height- you don’t have to climb into the car. Third, I have a short reach (not tall person) and not having to lean forward to access the touch screen was a big plus. MB offers (standard) a kind of mouse pad right were your right hand (US) rests. So I can access everything without having to move from my driving position at all. MB also offers like a Siri OS for the car. So you can do a lot of things via voice commands. Fourth, the 3rd row seat option means you don’t have to get into a larger SUV in order to get extra seating. I felt comfortable driving it and I though the handling and shift transitions were very smooth. I think MB did a great job with this vehicle and we’ll be leasing the GLB within the next couple of weeks
I love the GLB, it looks very nice. I am just wondering, is this the same architecture as the Nissan X-Trail and Renault Koleos? Especially the third row, seem awful alike the X-Trail third row. On top the strategy with 2 and 4 wheel drive is also identical to the Nissan / Renault approach, just like the X class of Mercedes, is this another joined car produced in the same factory?
0:38 Someone teach Matt that each GL model is a SUV based on a regular class so therefore GLB is a SUV based on B Class and not on A Class... There is the GLA based on A Class.
Obviously (and I read it here in the comments as well) people LOVED the GLK and its edged chunky design. The GLK sold like crazy because it looked totally different than all these other soft designed cars. And Im sure the GLB will sell just as good because its so edged as well. Its not my cup of tea but obviously a lot of people like this kind of design.
@@mendistudio im hoping it will be cheaper than a xc60 t8 which it should be. I also learned more about it that the North American version will be made in mexico, i'm not quite sure how to feel about that
Looking forward to seeing this , I’ve a Freelander 2 & I’m looking for a replacement, there’s nothing in the market that floats my boat or as practical as the Freelander. I hate the disco sport , the xc40 has a sloping rear window which hinders packing as much stuff in as I you can. Proper disco & XC90 are too big for my needs.
Fadlullah Afolabi everything, no command driving position even though LR say it has , my wife’s Mokka sits just as high , over priced , it’s a hatchback , not very practical when putting long stuff in the boot unlike the Freelander 2.
GLK was replaced by GLC. This could’ve been a ‘grand’ B class but made more sense to make it an SUV market wise. It even shares the A and B Class’ platform.
HoldEmOne come on. You really think a big giant business/industrial/technological conglomerate like Daimler-Mercedes Group makes many cars just because? Sure they love to make cars, and everyone loves them for that passion, but they also make many cars because *BUYERS* with cash want those cars and do buy those cars in huge numbers. People want different things for different reasons.
I wish they will release a version that uses the traditional longitudinal mount 45/55 4matic while maintain the same interior and exterior design in their next GLC release. Then I will immediately dish out my cash.
I think is very targeted at the US market as the GLA is too small for most people (over here anyways) but might not want the GLE. Compact SUV(think this), Mid-size SUV (think X5), compact sedan (think c class), mid size sedan (think e-class), and full size pickup truck (think Ford F-150) are the things that sell the most in the US, I think Mercedes Benz is making a model to suit the US market. There are a lot of GLB's on the road over here all things considered (Mercedes isn't the most popular over here)
Life Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness I’ve been lucky enough to buy a reliable CLA SB over 4 years ago, no issues whatsoever and I am not going to swap it for a new one even if I got 65k miles on it.
Those exhaust tips look like large USB-C sockets! Now, a GLB 43 AMG with AWD could be interesting.
GLB35 and 45 are happening according to spy shots.
yeah it's 35 and 45 now , 43 is for C class .53 for E class and higher
GLB 35 is confirmed, 45 not
Everyone knows thad HDMI tips mean more performance.

Just what the world needs
Another SUV🙃🙃
What’s next? *The GLC Coupè Shooting brake Cross Country AMG63 Hybrid soft top?*
Come on Mercedes there’s *definetely* a market for that one.
The main bad thing about this is, the interior looks more good looking than the GLE or the GLS
@Is this Jish I think the interior in the GLE ist the best
Not really now is it
Are you talking about the new GLE and GLS or the old ones?
The GLB is smaller than the GLC yet has 7 seats? Ummm what?? Even the GLE does not have 7 seats
I dont get it either
The gle does have a third row
Front wheel drive architecture allows for more interior space
Yes it does
Yes the GLE does it comes with a third row I have no clue where you got that from
people: how many more suv models mercedes will make?
mercedes benz: yes
Mat Watson sir . You should review The SLS amg once . That's one of the greatest cars produced By Merc
Audi e-tron vs Tesla Model X Drag Race next pleaseeeee!
In my opinion, this is actually one of the best looking Mercedes of 2019.
Well it’s subjective, but I think the exterior of this GLB is ugly. However the interior is really nice.
@@attilaszolnoki8604 Okay, I should have said 'In my opinion' or 'Personally'. I like boxy designs so I really like this design.

What next!? BMW M8 reviev or Drag race? Im really excited to wait it!
I like this GLB, but I'm partial to the XC40 since it's been my ride for the last year. I love it! I definitely want to see this in person though.
I m I the only one who thinks this GLB looks like the C5 air cross especialy the rear and the sides 😅😅
Yes, you are. What are you on about. There are no real similarities what so ever...

Looking at the likes he isn't. Although the styling is totally different, the general silhouette (especially the flat back) is quite similar.
Hmmm. I honestly think you just ruined the car for everybody that read your comment 🤣😂😅
Reminds me of the old glk if I’m honest
Yes you are the only one, next time try to wear ur glasses
When u need an R class replacement but at the same time u wanna keep up with the crossover trend.
Or are simply forced into a model you may not want because there are no options that suit your liking.

I think XC 40 is more stylish
Are they updating the GLA anytime soon?

Make the grille vertical lines instead of horizontal and then it’ll look better!

So you are saying the latest mercedes model might be the best one so far? Stunning prediction!
I think there's a chance that of the "loaded" for sale to general public Mercedes-Benz models, the GLB could reach #1.
