Just bought my 1st mercedes a few days ago. 2022 glb 250. I luv it so far even without the seat memory. I got a black on black, 3rd row, amg trim package, night package and a couple other options. Got a really good deal with no mark up price plus 1k off msrp.
Thanks for the review - solid honest everyday review. This was the review which helped me make my decision to buy the GLB200. Really enjoying the car - it’s a beauty! 🤟
I got a premium plus 2022 and I am super jealous on what you have in your car. They axe the AR nav, electric tailgates(which almost a dealbreaker to me), burmester sound system, electric memory seats and wireless charging hub etc....
I'm thinking of buying a Mercedes, this review had been very helpful. I was deciding between Mercedes and BMW, your video had pushed me towards Mercedes. Thanks
Really solid review, and good quality too! I'm thinking about getting a GLB 200 soon, I've currently got an A 200 (Same engine), and I know how powerful that thing is for a 1.33L engine. Plus, there is an enormous amount of headroom in that engine, so a basic tuning-chip takes it. to over 200bhp which seems to be a sweet spot
@@ManoloRafael I went with a 2020 BMW X1 in the end! For the same age/mileage you can get far better performance from the X1, so a 136bhp GLB is priced the same as a 200bhp X1 which is crazy. The X1 is also built far far better inside than the GLB which is a bonus, plus dual clutch auto is better than the torque converter in the GLB
Great review... I was undecided between the GLB and the GLC for a family with two small kids. The GLB seems the better choice for a growing kids who will sport weekends and friends to move around.
Great review and glad to hear your comment about the performance of the 1.3 engine. I'm looking to order one in the next couple of weeks and been struggling to find a review of the petrol 1.3l engine version.👍👍
I had the 1.3 petrol for a week and I was really surprised with the car. Really good chassis, great interior and seats! The engine was really strong no complaints here. At first I thought it was 2L. Then I opened a bonnet and there was tiny 1.3. Looked a bit funny. So plenty of power. However, for being a hybrid, driving alone I was averaging 43mpg to a trip to Peak District. Which was really great for such a boxy car. But as soon as I was driving with 4 adults, with no luggage, the mpg was around 31 with a very gentle ride. And in the town I could see how a battery of the hybrid system was charged and discharged, but the fuel consumption was still barely 29mpg. So maybe a diesel will be a better option for a bigger family. And also this dual clutch gearbox was in the town not very smooth esp. moving slowly in the traffic. It's either really slow or too aggressive. Many times moving in the steeper hill, just with a tiny bit of throttle there was lots of wheelspin. But once moving was great. So except the gearbox and slightly higher fuel economy was really good engine.
Opening the rear passenger door is problematic in the rain as the rain will run off from the rubber seal on the door on to either the passenger or the side of the seat - something my dealership is now aware of- I’ve spoken to a few owners and they have experienced the same

Me too - just upgraded my AMG line which is really basic to the premium. I think differences between premium and premium plus will be keyless entry ( recognise your key) panoramic sunroof would be the main feature I would think
Premium plus has the panoramic roof, assistive cruise control. For me the only thing I miss from the premium plus over the premium is the roof. Every other thing is about the same
Yeah good one . I am picking mine this week but I wasn’t sure about this blue colour and they managed to find black one and I think it’s best colour on this model however looking at yours it looks good 👍
Hi, wonderful review. Need help in selecting a car for my cousin family, Merc Benz GLB 200 line premium plus, Range Rover Evoque, Audi Q3 sportback and Jaguar E -pace. Which one do you suggest, Thanks
Does it struggle if you have a full load? (E.g. 6 passengers and some baggages etc). That is the only thing I'd like to know before making the purchase. Thanks.
Its a shame the new ones don't Come with AR sat nav. I had to cancel my order and go for used one that had all the specs. Mercedes needs to fix her issues
Very interesting. Indeed, the 200 lacks of power, wherefore it struggles a little bit on the change of gear. I drove today the 250 and it really is a huge difference. If you want to run it on gasoline and not on diesel, the 250 is worth the price difference between it and the 200. The GLB 35 shall be lot of more fun I have been told. But that‘s another price level…
We had a A200 prior to our latest GLB200 and what we like is all the controls are the same which makes it easy to transition. It’s not quite as powerful as the A200 but it’s ok! Can’t fault it! Would have loved the GLB 35 amg but you can’t have everything, oh well , may be next time.
I've just had this car for a day as a courtesy car and it is just right car. Big from outside and smaller inside. Yes. It is small in side. Even front seats are small for my back. Driving is very good and confortable . Not much power, but it is accetable. 🤣🤣🤣. When you used to have a power car it is very difficult to go with small enging power cars. I do recomend it, but it is not for me. 🤣👍

Hey my friend, could you tell me your avg fuel consumption ober that time? Thx
At last! A car review without all the first world problems and moaning. An honest and family orientated review 👍

Thank you for your truthful review. Just got myself one last week 2023 edition. Still has a lot to learn about it but loving it.😀
Great Review!🙏

Excellent down to earth useful enjoyable review.
Nice review, thanks!
Thank you, hope it was helpful.
Amazing review. If you had more car reviews I’d sub in a heartbeat . Great tone
I've got more coming very soon. I'll share it in this comment when it is ready.
@@techloto then I will be subbing. I’m really interested in the new model of this merc coming early next year. So you made such a great review man.
Is there a video on how to use the features inside the car glb 200 premium
Great review, having one coming soon thanks for the review!
Thank you, glad it helped.

Amazing and helpful review! Keep making these 👍
does the last row of seats have isofix for car seats also? the two small rear ones
Can the GLB 200 handle carrying 7 people on the odd long journey with a roof box with cases in it or would I be better served getting a 220d
How much did it cost to get the tyre fixed ?
That is a good and helpful review.
I love the Ikea test 😂
Is having 4matic really necessary for this car? Did you ever felt need it?
hi, just wondering what the average mpg you are getting on this car? thank you
Is this a good engine for such a heavy car? Have you ever climbed mountain with full cargo ?
I am planning to get a GLB200 this week. Do you think the 1.3 litre engine has enough power for regular driving and specially up the hill?

I got GLB premium, I am trying to understand the difference between premium and premium plus in terms of features. Can you help with that?

Hi. How was the maintenance of it? Thanks! Great video very well informed!
What kind of MPG did you get?
Bro, Iam planning to buy a Mercedes for first time. How is the owner ship cost and reliability.Thanks
Yeah good one . I am picking mine this week but I wasn’t sure about this blue colour and they managed to find black one and I think it’s best colour on this model however looking at yours it looks good 👍

If you open use the last row of seats you literally have nothing left for luggage

Have you had any major repairs done yet? Thinking of getting a 2022 model. Really like it. But not sure about it’s reliability?
No repairs whatsoever unless you count a punctured tyre
@@techloto that’s great
We had a A200 prior to our latest GLB200 and what we like is all the controls are the same which makes it easy to transition.
It’s not quite as powerful as the A200 but it’s ok!
Can’t fault it!
Would have loved the GLB 35 amg but you can’t have everything, oh well , may be next time.
I´m still waiting for my GLB220, 2 weeks they say!
Great review, were you affected by the chip shortage at all? mine came without the AR due to the chip shortage.
No because it's a 21 plate. It's mainly the 22 plates that are affected.
@@techloto sorry but what is AR couse im trying to get glb 200 premium plus
Price GLB 200 send price
£42k - £50k
