2020 Mercedes-Benz GLB | Small SUV Family Review
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Thanks to my day job at Kelley Blue Book, I drive and review lots of cars. This 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLB is one of them. The GLB class is a small SUV that is larger than the Mercedes GLA but smaller than the GLC. In this review, me, my wife, and our daughter test the 2020 GLB SUV to find its positives and negatives from a family perspective.

The 2024 cars are much better with regard to that jerky start issue - the mild hybrid system they have introduced makes it much smoother.
My wife saw this video and said “oh I like that one” so you may have just cost me $50,000

I agree I like the screaming Micah !!!
Hoping for 1 million subs...the family format is the best review style out there. Wish you could do one everyday (but then you might not have the family anymore!) Great work, great family!
Thank you for this review! I'm considering this suv and i will mostly use as my commuter to pick up my kid from school and go to the office once a week. My kiddo has the same car seat as your daughter and i wanted to make sure there was enough space in the back. Love how you both talk about your likes and dislikes, its perfect ♥️

I've heard this vehicle can be a bit jerky, i wonder if the GLC rides the same. I like the boxy shape of the GLB but seems like the GLC might be better?
I prefer the screaming Micah A lot more fun
Awesome review! “Secret wagon” sums up my thoughts exactly! I love how you have fun but we still learn about cars! Keep it up!!
It’s reminding me of a modern version of the old GLK

Was waiting for the family version of your GLB after your solo review. We got the B-Class shortly before the GLB came out (we didn’t know it was coming out, and our salesperson didn’t say anything). I kicked myself in the nuts for not knowing. Now I wanna kick myself in the nuts again after seeing both your reviews. By the way. Scream if you feel like it. You do you. 👍
What you bring - which I think is your point - is the family factor which no other reviewer has done. Really emphasize that point each and every time (luggage, car seat clip in, room for road trips, etc) then success.
I really like that you bring your wife along she gives a good laymens review of the car
Screaming Micah is the best Micah. Great review. The GLB looks as a very practical compact premium crossover
Nice family!! I really enjoy your videos.
Your family is so cute. I love these reviews.
The production and editing is next level!! Love the innuendo iguana and the censorship one 😂
Awesome video Micah!

It looks like a hearse to my eyes. The infotainment system would drive me crazy. Great review as usual!
Thanks for this great vid. Its very helpful on making a decision
This video was awesome, I just purchased mines a couple days ago. And let me tell you, at night I love the inside lights.
Purchased 2022 GLB250 July similar to the one in your video ~ Had a 2021 GLB35 (With real exhausts) 4matic ! The ride in the GLB35 was very unforgiving ! 21 inch , very stiff , always avoiding pot holes & dips! Had me always worrying! GLB250 FWD 19inch, Drives different but seems to me much more comfortable! Gregory ~ Linda ~ Brent ~ My Name & My wife & My Son.!
Great review! As for the energy, I want to hear the energy you feel like brining!
Micha, you & your sense of humor make me happy. Just saying.
You an Joe Raiti are my favorite car reviewers because of your guys humor.
Last time I felt pampered was when I got to drive my friends audi across the country
A mum and dad's point of view, finally 👌🏻🙌🏻
Your family is so adorable!
One of my fave youtube families!!
I am looking forward to the AMG versions of the GLB. This looks like a fun wagon to drive.
The chairs remind me of a pair of classic black and white oxford shoes.

I think the folks at Mercedes would appreciate your observation!
Love it when Evie drives now!
Can you please do a review of the glc coupe or the bmw x4? They are a couple of the most popular vehicles. Thank you keep up the good work
I felt pampered last when I got right order at mc donald
Your daughter is so cute and well-behaved. I have a 7 year old that never stops talking. LOL. And I just noticed my daughter has that same wooden claw. She got a kit so she can make it (of course with help from yours truly. haha).
It's on my short list of potential vehicles after my Q5 lease is up in 11 months. A little out of my budget though after AWD and other options. Best wishes for a happy marriage, your wife is sweet and adorable. I have a hunch you made the right choice there.
It looks like Fred and Velma got married. Which is awesome!
Better vehicle than I expected, but hard plastics in high-touch areas on a vehicle costing $49K is unacceptable. I did take note of the fuel mileage in the 💥INFORMATION EXPLOSION💥and was surprised to see that the 4Matic gets 1 MPG more on the highway than the FWD model. I think Miss Mercedes works well enough ...if you ask her kindly. Classy lady. After all, she is a Mercedes 😮 I was surprised that she expressed shock when you told her to 'shut up'. LOL! Please continue to shout the segment intro's. I like 'HyperMicah' 😀 PS: I must be around the same age as your mom (early 60's) as I remember the two sizes of Coca-Cola bottles. I believe they were 7 ounces and 10 ounces. As always, nice job!
By By CRV!! Evie's found the perfect replacement!! Thanks ! AWD for the best MPGS!!!!!
Visibility is great 👍🏾 Leans forward to see better 🤣🤣🤣
...I prefer the more exuberant transitions... EMOTION FACTOR 📣📣
hopefully getting this early 2021
Sometimes the screaming seems like a strange amount of excitement to have for some very unexciting cars but I do crave the Micah energy so I think we need a strategic deployment of the screaming moreso...
I think you missed cargo view and features other than optional 3rd row seating mention.
Hey @micah, any tow or payload rating on this “suv/wagon?”
Side profile reminds me of a PT Cruiser or Chevy HHR...not necessarily a bad thing considering the utility those designed allowed.
Nomscreaming. Thanks.
A fun, cheerful, and cheap MB! Micah Rage ... We want Heavy Metal reviews.
Nice video - funny facts we have paid 92000 US$ for the 220d 4matic in Denmark :D
Nice Kiwi Crate grabber :)
It may be getting better fuel economy in AWD because the SUV is a bit underpowered and requires more work from the from only the front two tires
what color is that? is it cosmos black or night black?
I don't really like change, so... SCREAM THOSE INTROS!
This is the 7 seat Large SUV I would buy, I'm from th UK, so this is large for us haha

👏🏻👏🏻Well spotted! We love the KiwiCo kits.
I'm not a fan of that white on black interior. I think it could get stained easily for a compact family crossover, and it won't be easy to clean. If you're skeptical about the cleanliness of your cat interior, like I am, you'll want to look at another interior color. It looks good, though.
Glb or Volvo xc60? I have two kiddos en car seats.
Can you put a mic on your daughter? She has the cutest comments!
I have 2 kids and these cup holders are definitely not user friendly of you are under 5 years old. 🤦🏻♂️ Was also disappointed to find out the rear seats (5 seater) don't slide back and forth. Otherwise, ok for its size.
Screaming for sportier vehicles and louder engines, Reserve the quieter voice for more family-friendly and Electric vehicles.
Kinda wish the Mercedes + Infiniti partnership worked out better
13:35 It makes no sense because its not true, the FWD gets 31mpg highway, the AWD 30mpg highway, check the EPA site. Also, the reason the MPG difference is so tiny, is because the GLB will be operating in FWD mode on the highway whether you get FWD or AWD version as it disengages power from the rear when not needed, and the tiny drop in economy is just because of slightly extra weight and maybe drag from the extra components under the car.

You're looking at the fuel economy figures for the 2021 model. Go back and check out the figures for the 2020 model we tested. FuelEconomy.gov does indeed show the 4MATIC awd version getting better highway fuel economy. That said, subsequent model years show the fwd version as more efficient. That makes me think the EPA might've screwed up the 2020 numbers.
Scream. 👍
More restraint please!
So would you take this or a similarly priced Telluride?

how do you think this compares to the GLA for a small family of just one kid (13 years old) thx!

C99 Mercedes reliability is unmatched.
Has a forester look to it I find.
GLB is the equal to the gateway drug for MB’s. They give you the taste and in no time you’ll be wanting the GLE than GLS! Get em into the brand young.
I think GLB stands for Good Luxury Box
Can we get some more helicopter tours of LA
The last time I felt Pampered was when I was a baby. Diapers, you know.
In this video it looks like you just had a fresh flowbee haircut! Looks good! But oddly Mercedes doesn't think you're hot, boo :(

This is the AMG night package. Even the most expensive ones have plastic.

@@Brian-jv8iy thanks for your info but I know that. I have driven luxury cars including the Mercedes. I have test driven the glb250 but I like the AMG night package because of the aesthetics, that's all. What I said was that even the most expensive cars have plastic, I just like the fact that you can build to your taste and pay for what you want and not the extra stuff that you really don't need. I built one with the AMG night package and like it. Have a great weekend.
I like the screamy Micah, though “scream” might not be the best term, as that suggests pain or horror to me. Let’s say, instead, the yelly Micah. So, yeah, bring yelly back. 😲
50k for 2.0T 221HP 0-60 in 6.9 is a deal breaker for me. I love the car though.
