Is the NEW 2020 Mercedes Benz GLB 250 the BETTER luxury compact SUV to BUY?
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Mercedes is ready to blow away the BMW X1 & Audi Q3 with the 2020 GLB 250. Under the hood is a 2.0L turbocharged inline-4 that is producing 221HP & mated to a 8-speed DCT transmission. It's exterior has that unique Mercedes Benz styling lines, and this GLB has option wheels. On the inside you will find plenty of room and 3-row seating capability. Is the NEW 2020 Mercedes Benz GLB 250 the BETTER luxury compact SUV to BUY?

"A kid you didnt know about," LMAO!, this is why youre awesome Joe!
Interesting smaller SUV. I like the way the hood is integrated into the design. White and gloss black is smart. I’m liking the the rear lights

6:41 interior is a great match to the exterior. The interior design is much improved and more inline with their best vehicles. Plenty of carbon spilt around to keep Joe happy. 😎

Love this new Benz, Joe! Stay healthy and always practice social distancing!
first review of the glb 250, i have seen with the third row . good job joe
15:33 and we’re “on throttle!” Not super exciting but seems to do a solid job. Haven’t driven this versus competitors but I’m liking the Mercedes more for design and comfort.
Wow, it looks like finally MB completed their new generation design aesthetics in their portfolio. I saw the new E class and was blown away.
Very honest and entertaining review. Just took delivery of my new 2022 Patagonia Red GLB 250 AMG. I’m loving it!

My first Mercedes SUV! Great review Joe.
I just love u Joe you're one of the best reviewers
I think I’d buy this over any of the mainstream 3 row SUVs. Many people buy bigger cars than they need and for many this would be just as functional and more luxurious.
The adopted kid sits on the 3rd row! Hahaha great review Joe🙌🏽
That dashboard is so nice!!!! I would buy this one maybe black on black
I love Mercedes vehicles and the style they offer is amazing.

Raiti's Rides I appreciate you sharing it.
So detailed!
You did a review on this vehicle already just in a different color. And this might be my first mercedes.
This thing is a three row? Im genuinely impressed they managed to fit that in a vehicle this small. Like really impressed. Like this third row is ACTUALLY what most people are looking for, aka they have 2-3 kids of their own and will likely have their friends every now and then. Like if its used 10-15 times a year, this would be ideal. Obviously if you have 4+ kids that will be in it daily, a fullsize cuv/suv or especially a minivan is still best
Hey joe could you do the Tesla model Y or Audi RsQ8?
Seats are more like a panda! Would be nice to have your comment about how easy it is to access the driver seat in your evaluations. Thank your for your good work!
It looks really good!
That third row is reserve for that love child you thought you never had. For 50k I wish they had used much better materials in some portions of the car.
I like the design, it standouts in the lineup honestly

Joe, this is in competition with the Forester Touring!!
Any chance you can review the new 2020 GLA? Thanks! Really dig your reviews!
Came here for the fake exhaust zonks. Was not disappointed. Another great review.
I think this PRICE PINT is way over priced. I know some of you may disagree but lot of people buy cars they can't afford. But I love your videos Joe and you are awesome... thank you again for a great video.
Transverse mount engine from MB, Say it ain't so Joe.
Compared to the 2020 Audi Q3, which one would you prefer?
I just test drove this and the rep did not mention the 3RD row seat. Must go back‼

Nice looking car! Reminds me of the BMW X1. 🤔
I feel like the engine in the cla hatchback amg should be put in the glb.Alo sorry father ratios for being late.also when the civic stuff ended can you review the 2011 gl550
Nice lookin cube, like the black/white theme. In my country, the Czech Republic, Suzuki s-cross, vitara, toyota croosovers like hr-v, vw cars like t-roc or škoda kamiq/karoq are becoming popular. But they all look like toys. This little Benz, looks like a toy too, but in a good way. Still feels solid. Wish the pricing was a bit more adequate...
Ima zonk you for the “I don’t have kids so ima zonk it” 😂
Liked the black edging around the front clip vents/air curtains, till I saw the side view, it's a Zonk from Me. Should've kept it white! $5000-8000, cheaper than I expected. Interior is spot on! Business side is also great. A Real Trooper, with the third row! Great review, thanks Joe! 🏁🏁
Yes Thank God I will buy one for myself
I think i'd probably go with a rav4 adventure, cool waverunner and still have money left over for trunk full of snickers and peanut M&Ms. :)
Alf couldn't even sit in the 3rd row 😂
It should be priced in the low 40's. I drove it and felt rode noise was too high. Bought a 5,000 miles used GLK instead. V6 300 hp and nicer square design. MLB wins in interior.

Why dont more manufacturers put remote start on their vehicles at least an option in 2020 my ford escape has it @ 30k. That's a zonk for me!!!
Looks like the AMG package was added on, which IMO isn't worth the extra as I do not see any specs that affect engine perfomrance - looks cosmetic only. If that's the case, you can shave off $5000 or so off MSRP and still have a well apportioned vehicle.
11:21. I’m zonking those nets on the back of the seats. Can’t put my frisbee or toothbrush there. Also no rear twinky or M&M’s storage.

Why do you keep Zonking the fake vents? I understand that they're not functional, but they do provide aesthetic value, so they're worth something. They usually look good and looks are one part of the attributes of a vehicle

Ok we need a Cabbage Patch kid made up to look like Joe so when he is faced with a tiny set of 3rd row seats he can toss the Cabbage Patch Joe in the back. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wow it really looks like a fun size Mercedes Benz GLS!! Really Mercedes at $50,000 you couldn’t continue that microscopic piece of carbon fiber to the second row doors?!?!?😱😱😱 by the way interior mood lighting is a necessity!!
I don't understand the point of big rims with tiny brakes, just look wrong. I think the X1 and Q3 has the upper hand in this generation.
I like how the 2 screens flow together great look and style
I like it it is nice
$50k? You’re pretty much paying for the badge but not quality or even space. For that money you can get a nice Toyota Highlander, KIA Telluride, Hyundai Palisade, Lexus RX, Mazda CX-9, Volvo XC-90, Infiniti QX-60 or evening a Chevy Traverse. They’re not all luxury suvs but they’ll run around this Mercedes for the same or thousands less. This Benz is cool till it gets about 60k miles then starts falling apart and warranty is too short unless you have deep pockets for dealer maintenance. lol

I wouldn’t advise doing anything more than mall crawling or wifey taking the girls to the driving range 😃😂🤣 .... waiiiit a min... 50K?!? Wifey better get a Wrangler S 🤣🤣🤣
I love my car
Reminds me of my old GLK. Wish this had a V6 but it is 2020 so I get it . Just not sure why they need yet another "letter" in the lineup. I like the boxy design and the panda color dynamic inside and out but will get dirty as this is clearly for a young growing family. So to be clear an "inflated stepped on marshmallow" would basically be a marshmallow right ? LOL !! 3rd row is for kids only and quite frankly only functions for "tiny" kiddos. G- Wagon comparison is a serious stretch and seems to be a line MB might be spoon feeding reviewers to include in their reviews. I am just not sure this model is needed and if it really addresses any real market demand/need. Only time will tell.

@@gipsyavenger9829 Yes. The GLC is built on a version of the modular rear architecture which means its engines are longitudinally mounted and it is rear wheel drive biased. Like large luxury cars normally are. But Mercedes has been building front wheel drive cars for decades like the A Class and the GLB is based on their front wheel drive transverse engine architecture.
