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. 😎
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.
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.
It's when you ask for all the bells and whistles, which as far as I'm concerned iscacwaste of money. Build your own and you'll get it for less than 45k.
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
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 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.
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! 🏁🏁
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 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
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...
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!
$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
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.
That was a good punchline joke Joe. I'm over here dying 💀. To fit in the back row. You have to be the size of a Cabbage Patch Kid. LOL 😂. Good one Joe.
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
Wait wait 50K damn son lol count me out it’s nice and everything and I get it that it the top luxury but damn lol Nice video tho great job with the review JOE why did they make it look like a panda tho???? With the black and white seats 💺
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!!
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. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@ZoneCrasher actually..dimension wise GLB is closer to X3 than it is to the X1..the GLB is only one inch shorter than the GLC..what are you talking about?
@@hanialzaid8460 Weird, you asked and I answered. Thought you were not so sure, now you are sure? Are you sure or are you not? SMH. MB is targeting X1 and Q3 with the GLB, there's little doubt about it. Dimension-wise, it's about the same width as X1 but slightly longer, they even weigh about the same. X3 is bigger in every dimension and is much heavier.
I actually like the GLB but I’m not getting the whole Baby G Wagon thing .. MB missed that mark by a long shot but if they like it I love it. 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 🤣🤣🤣
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.
I know there’s GLC’s gonna have fake tips for sure oh actually it’s not a GLC the GLB I forgot though I think this actually looks better than the GLC to tell you the truth it just looks more SUV like it’s just
@@RaitisRides nah just joking...kia looks nicer hate the dashboard,hate the muted front, hate the back design looks like the ambassador from GTA IV another bad design by mercedes. they should learn from audi
"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
I totally agree with you!
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. 😎
Yes sir! I agree with you!
Very honest and entertaining review. Just took delivery of my new 2022 Patagonia Red GLB 250 AMG. I’m loving it!
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.
Love this new Benz, Joe! Stay healthy and always practice social distancing!
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.
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.
😳
Inexcusable that at $50k, there’s no sunroof. At all. That’s crazy to me.
Yea, I see your point. The GLK had one but I never used it. No moon roof would be the deal breaker. But you can get the moon roof as an extra.
It's when you ask for all the bells and whistles, which as far as I'm concerned iscacwaste of money. Build your own and you'll get it for less than 45k.
people actually use sunroofs? lol
wafflepiepancake when you live in Southern California? Hell yeah!
I love Mercedes vehicles and the style they offer is amazing.

A Real Trooper, with the third row!
Great review, thanks Joe! 🏁🏁
Joe do a 2020 G - Wagon 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Yeah, and I'd love to see him open and close the doors (so I can hear that bank vault door sound).
first review of the glb 250, i have seen with the third row . good job joe
That dashboard is so nice!!!! I would buy this one maybe black on black
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.
This is way better than a glk

You can get black if you want.
@@RaitisRides oh ok
Joe, this is in competition with the Forester Touring!!
$50,600 and a 4cyl ? No thanks. I’d rather get a Teluride. Nice job Joe! See you @ 8:30 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
I totally agree with you on this..its way to much for this class of compact svu...
I just test drove this and the rep did not mention the 3RD row seat.
Must go back‼
Came here for the fake exhaust zonks. Was not disappointed. Another great review.
I like the design, it standouts in the lineup honestly
I am glad that you like this one Dustin!
Yes Thank God I will buy one for myself
I just love u Joe you're one of the best reviewers
You did a review on this vehicle already just in a different color. And this might be my first mercedes.
Transverse mount engine from MB, Say it ain't so Joe.
Compared to the 2020 Audi Q3, which one would you prefer?
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.

Thank you for the great review!
You are so very welcome!
If you don't get the ambient lighting package, are there any ambient lighting at all?
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!!!
I just love to see your review videos they way you explain reviews is just funny love your personality 👌😂
Stay safe, stay healthy and stay connected 👍
Would it be possible to drive the cars on the highway so we can get your opinion on noise levels etc. please?
Hey Joe. I wish that it would be a Mercedes S-Class sedan, it's pretty sick looking.
A little different price range!
@@RaitisRides LOL

Hey joe could you do the Tesla model Y or Audi RsQ8?
"For when you find out that you have a kid that you didn't know about".. WHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Awesomely funny!
Raiti why would this not compete directly with an X3 or Q5 ?
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!
At first glance, that giant hood strut looks like a prop rod. Glad that it isn't a prop rod considering what manufacturer it is

Any chance you can review the new 2020 GLA? Thanks! Really dig your reviews!
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. :)
trackpad is a bit more difficult to use actually lol
I the shape of this 👍

I don't know about G-Wagen. This screams more mini GLS design to me with the GLK size.
Reminds of the Subaru Forester, and that's not a bad thing!
I like how the 2 screens flow together great look and style
The 3rd row seat reminds me of you being in a Lexus RX 350L. XD
Tom Tran even worse!
@@RaitisRides Rofl
Tom Tran 😂
Did you do this without the third row?
i dont like the big seat controls on the door.
I know that are not for everyone!
The adopted kid sits on the 3rd row! Hahaha great review Joe🙌🏽
That was a good punchline joke Joe. I'm over here dying 💀. To fit in the back row. You have to be the size of a Cabbage Patch Kid. LOL 😂. Good one Joe.
Why would you mention it goes against x1 and q3 it's rather X3 and q5 no?
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.
What is the sound system like?
So detailed!
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 looking car! Reminds me of the BMW X1. 🤔
i would buy the A45, is it sold in US?
What SUV does GLA compete with?
ChuChuTrain bmw x2 Lexus ux Audi q2 (in Europe) and of course it’s twin car the Infiniti qx30
Wait wait 50K damn son lol count me out it’s nice and everything and I get it that it the top luxury but damn lol Nice video tho great job with the review JOE why did they make it look like a panda tho???? With the black and white seats 💺

It's a 13 Spoke wheel..........
This car does not has any sensors in front and rear
The minute you said $50k I literally lol’d.
I feel your pain!
@Tyrel Tolliver I think its worth it if you have the money, but nothing to stretch your wallet over.
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.
That is a rough spot in the GLB!
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. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Can you review a lamborghini Joe?
I am working on it!
I personally don't like the the black plastic over the wheels. Makes it look cheap.
Why is the GLB being pitted against the BMW X1...The X1 is a subcompact SUV, while the GLB is a compact SUV...am i wrong?
Yes, you are wrong. Dimension-wise is very similar. GLC is the compact. MB has the GLA that competes against no one.
@@ZoneCrasher actually..dimension wise GLB is closer to X3 than it is to the X1..the GLB is only one inch shorter than the GLC..what are you talking about?

$50k with no panoramic sunroof??? Yea I rather get a Q3 for $40k
jalmonte91 sorry zero utility in the q3 too small
Philip Pernice is the direct competitor, same size, have you seen the new Audi Q3???? Look it up
I definitely will, but I’m comparing it to Q3, for people that only look at brand
jalmonte91 haven’t seen new bodystyle but old q3 was tiny /ill check the 2020 out

They won't be able to offer 6 cylinders in their front wheel drive platform. They never did. The GLC has a V6 as that is the rear drive platform.
