Honestly I went into the dealership to buy a GLC and I felt very claustrophobic in the front and back and I’m 5’ 11”. The salesman then told me about and showed me the GLB and said I would have more room even though the dimensions on the GLC is listed as bigger, and he was right!!! So I ended up buying the GLB with absolutely no regret, as I think it’s a better buy in that class if you want more room with luxury appointments!
I tell taller people all the time - even though the GLB is technically lower to the ground, you get more ceiling height! Thank you for watching and enjoy! - Pat
I ❤ the way you present, simple & straight forward...😊👍 No joke, no drama, no hate, no exaggerating, no extra curricular, JUST FACTS...😊👍 Congratulations for having that skills 🎊 BTW I'm watching from the Philippines 🇵🇭
Very informative review. I just wonder if there are qualitative differences in processing. After all, the models are produced in different plants. I personally find the split display in the GLC a bit unharmonious, but I haven't tried it yet. I find the design of the GLB very appealing both outside and inside. Looks like a little G-Class, its a baby G 😉
Good question and points! They operate fairly similar but you can tell the infotainment systems are different. The GLB was made to be like a baby G Wagon... some agree, some dont haha! Thank you for watching.
I've enjoyed leasing Mercedes Benz vehicles for over a decade now and went from the the C-class sedans right into the debut of the GLB. Having a compact SUV was such a game changer because it offers a much more commanding, safe driving experience and you get a lot more space too. This refresh made the GLB so much better, with Mercedes Benz understanding where this model fits in their lineup even moreso. What I'll say is that Mercedes knows this model, which is a lower price point than the GLC, is a better value. So much so that they waited months after the release date of the GLC to debut this refreshed model. You get loads of head room, even with the standard panoramic sunroof, wireless carplay (overrated but a selling point) and plenty refined features that make it a model worth seriously considering.
Really depends on timing. At the Beginning of 2024 there were more GLBs around, that's were the deals were - now there are deals on both but GLC models are selling quicker. 2025 models are starting to arrive as well.

I had a GLC and got a glb loaner and was shocked at the size. It’s deceiving. I’m now awaiting a glb 35 to be delivered next week!
@ Yep, very deceiving! Trust me you won’t regret your choice! ☺️

Glad it was helpful! Thanks so much for the kind words. Love the Philippines - come visit Canada any time :) - Patrick
GLB 35 AMG Patagonia Red. Arrival at December ☺️
Congrats! Great choice!
The second row seat recline is adjustable, which could be another argument to prefer the GLB.
Certainly!
Watching from Kenya very informative
Thanks for watching! Visit Canada any time - Pat
Very nice review, congratulations, it helped me to make up my mind, thanks.
Glad I could help! Congrats to you.
Why does no one show or talk bout the front passenger entry, comfort etc
It's similar to the driver's side other than the steering wheel but we can start to incorporate the passenger side. Thank you for watching.
Why is the glb back seats so high?
They are about the same - might be the angle the video was shot.
Great comparison.
Thank you!

It is normal hear clunking down shifting gears 3 to 1 till stop completely on the GLA models ?
No, it's not.

great review
Thanks for watching!
so are there better deals out there on the glb or the glc????

Forget the cars... I just want to know if handsome Patrick is single? Hey Patrick ;)
LOL! Thank you :) -Pat
Of course GLC, segments are different.
Nice choice!
