This is my first Mercedes and it’s fabulous. The GLB has spunk and all the bells and whistles. It rides well, good pick up, and super manageable size.

GLtripleB (Boxy Baby Benz)

The vehicle offers the fuel efficiency that I was looking for, though with a TriStar badge. It is fully utilitarian and spacious for my family of 4 for simply transportation and equipment. I'm digging the looks as it is a 'mini me' of our GLS 450. It has near the acoutremont of the 'BigBenz.' It does not have the heft nor occupies most of the parking space as does the BigBenz, which maskes it a pint sized zippy SportUtilityVagen.

Not Perfect

We've owned a Mercedes for the last 20 years and when we take our older C-240 in for service, the dealer comments that the newer models don't really compare to the older ones. I agree with him 100%. The 2021 GLB 250 is a nice vehicle, but the quality isn't quite as good as we've come to expect from Mercedes, and some of the comments about engine dependability are worrisome. The engine is noisy, and you can definitely hear the vehicle coming. Some of this might be due to the fact that there's no sound proofing on the engine hood. Just the same, our granddaughter's inexpensive Ford Escape is much quieter. The only problem we've had is with the engine noise and the dealer replaced the belt tensioner which really didn't make an improvement. Gas mileage is great, and the only other valid complaint we have about the vehicle is with the run flat tires. We hate them, and I'm sure the GLB would have a much better ride without them. Overall it's a decent vehicle, but people who rave about it, and think it's the best thing since apple pie, don't have much experience with Mercedes.

Won me over!

My wife wanted a Mercedes SUV and I wasn’t particularly excited about it. We went to a dealer and had no idea the GLB existed. My wife really wanted something smaller and easy to drive. A few years ago we had a BMW X1 and I always thought it was too small. I drive a 4Runner and it’s easy to fit everything in without giving it much thought. Since we’ve owned the GLB it’s won me over. Seats are comfortable, drives nicely and has some useful and cool technology. Ours is pretty well equipped with premium package, 19 inch wheels, panoramic sunroof and the parking technology package as well as a few other individual options like wireless phone charging and some appearance options. I’ve been impressed with the cargo area and its versatility. The sliding rear seats allow for nicely balancing cargo and rear seat comfort. We can take 4 sets of golf clubs and 4 people easily. The fuel economy is excellent. My wishlist for the car would be wireless Apple CarPlay and standard adaptive cruise control. The package that includes adaptive cruise control is pricey and was difficult to find. If you drive much at night definitely get the ambient lighting package. It really sets the interior apart and looks great.
