Yet Another AMG Niche?! Welcome back to RBR guys and today we’re taking a look at the first of two SUVs in the new generation of Mercedes Compact cars, and it’s the unexpected GLB Class. We have had a GLA in the past as Mercedes’s compact SUV, but this is not the replacement of that car, rather this is a traditional estate shaped SUV, with the option of 7 Seats!
Now: Yes It’s got the AMG specific grille, I guessed when the GLE53 that the grille would form part of ever AMG regardless of engine going forward, that seems to be the case and I expect it on all 35’s when they are face-lifted eventually.
This GLC sized A Class Platform SUV is the first proper SUV shaped car in the Mercedes compact line up. It seems purposely more upright, squarer, especially in the windscreen and passenger cell, being almost G wagon like, much like the old square GLK.
And this GLB35 specifically occupies a niche of it’s own, being the only performance compact 7 seater currently available. It has the same 35 AGM flavour of 306BHP from the 2.0-litre turbocharged engine, allowing a respectable 0-60 of 5.2.
But will this be enough to call the GLB 35 a proper AMG like it’s A35/CLA35 siblings?
Today we explore:
- The size of GLB vs GLS, GLE, GLC, GLK, GLA and G Wagon!
- Exterior design of the GLB
- Wheels and Paint Options
- Changes made by AMG for the GLB 35 4Matic
- Future AMG GLB45 S!
- The EV - Mercedes EQB based on the GLB
- Driving Review - Sound
- Driving Performance Review
- Comfort element
- Conclusion

Hey Raz, are you going to review the E63S facelift when it's revealed?
Remove Before Race were did you film this video?
What an agly car , why so many suv Mec is building now with no point . I wish this guy can be truthful about no need for this car really
G,l,b/glb35 using wat linda of engine
Sorry to be so off topic but does any of you know a trick to get back into an instagram account? I was stupid forgot the password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me!
Animation and graphics are next level my dude
Actually I was asking for a car like this for the longest time. Finally it is made. I've placed an order and it should be here soon ! :)
Me too buddy
I'm getting tomorrow :)
Lucky gits.
Received mine 4 months ago. It's fantastic! A slot car...plenty of pep and perfect all around!
The GLB is like an up to date GLK
Basically Is
It's about time--many tall people have been waiting for the headroom that went away with the GLK.
I don't remember glk had 3rd row. 7 seats
Love the way you compare the sizes of other cars to this one...same with the tires and other details; great job!!!
This IS the AMG I am asking for...
Hey man, the overlay of the different models is tremendous value to those of us looking at buying a Mercedes SUV and want to understand the different looks and sizes. Thank you for this really useful video
2:55 please tell me I’m not the only one who noticed the cat 😂
I'm only 4 minutes in, and am thoroughly impressed to how comprehensive and polished this review is. Got yourself a subscriber.
Your videos are very informative. Not only the car, but the background to the car and comparisons to other models.
Excellent work on the graphics overlay; it really helps to understand the different sizes.
Great review about this fantastic Mercedes GLB!
I just pray they make a really hardcore 45 version, I just love this thing.
8:08 The legend himself.
I really enjoy the editing. Nice video
Shame about the sound, especially given that the car looks surprisingly good.
I think it’s a great option to have in the lineup however it lacks a level of class I like in a car/suv. Very much a luxury Kia Soul in the best way possible though
Really love the honest review. Mercedes used to truly be “The best or nothing” but now they are more interested in making Volkswagens, slapping an AMG badge / grill on them, and then selling them for 10-20k more because of the 3 pointed star. It’s really sad.
Well, the "best" Benz costs 3 times more. It's unfair but when you are loaded, you can get the Maybach GLS.
This is perfect for my family. Time to upgrade. Also, wicked editing, thats next level $&@$ right there.
Great visual effects - really easy to see comparison and such a value add 👌👍
I like it. It looks like an evolution of the old glk.
I am not a fan of compact SUVs, because as you mentioned, they are just a raised hatchbacks. SUVs should be rugged and purposeful. This one however, somehow looks appealing. I can imagine it with a roof box, or even with off road tires and roof lights..this squary look just makes sense. On a side note though, how on earth this channel doesn't have at least a million subscribers ?!! Amazing work man
Outstanding comparisons between models
Do you need drift mode with seven seats?...yes, yes we do.
I love how they aded the cat... It is all about the details.
The cat is real
Yeah the cat is just them showing off 😅
I want to see how you do the magic. a behind the scenes would be cool :)
I think it's a sweet vehicle if it fits your needs. Their interiors are actually great across each class these days so can't go wrong there!
Honestly at first I was really skeptic about this one. I own a Cls63s and that car feels like it has to much power ( plus it’s huge). When I drove the glb amg it felt much more nimble and not overpowered. I would honestly prefer it over the cls.
Great car channel you got a new sub! :)
This channel deserves more than 10m subscribers.
Hands down- the BEST GLB 35 review on line, PERIOD!
Great review awesome video. One of the best reviewer out there:-):-):-):-)
I was thinking of getting GLB35 but will wait and see what GLB 45S will be like. I had first A45 Edition 1 and love the sound of that pop and bang so that is a must for me if its AMG. I need 7 seat so love GLB. I wounder when GLB 45S will come out
Cool animations 👍
Great way to differentiate yourself from every other reviewer with the CGI...👍🏼
Fantastic video.
If the GLB actually looked like mini G maybe it would have been very cool and would have sold even better. Like it wud be a luxurious Jimny.
Hi I need some advice, I don't mind either the A45 S+ or the GLB35, which one do you think I should get, I do like a high ride height but I prefer the louder exhaust as well :p.. Help!
2019, the year of the SUVs. Looking forward AMGs GT updates this year, hopefully more car updates than SUVs 🔥
Daniel Sadjadian yes sir!
Reminds me of the old GLK model
Good vision👍👍👍
This is what I love about AMG. Just because it's a 7 seater doesn't mean you don't want it to be fast. AMG turns any vehicle into a performance car.
This thing is awesome, so much character
I honestly like it, lower it more and it would look fantastic. Practical and quick
Would love your take on GLB 35 4matic VS GLC COUPE 300 4matic? very confused as close in making a decision for either one of them.
Amazing family car!
What a stunning car,Would buy one
The PERFECT starter car for my daughter! Hehe, well thats my excuse anyway...
Oh, I like the look of that.
Got to Admit it looks great
The front intakes are not fake, they are open on the sides.
Paint it red & what have you got ? "Postman Pat's car " 😆
If they had given this about 1.5” more ground clearance and underbody protection with thicker tires it would be a much more attractive proposition. Merc really do need a mild off-roader in their lineup.
nice channel,,, btw I got introduced to your channel via carwow
This here is truly a competent automotive review.
No one asked for it perhaps, but I'll definitely take one! I'll do without the third row option though.
Recently did a Commercial shoot for the 2020 GLB and sat in it. I honestly feel like its more of a 5 seat car then a 7 seat.
The UK were not allowed the GLK but now we get these wow
so the merging of the SUV and VANs begins...
Given the style of car and all the talk about families, I was waiting for info on interior space?
The rumored Tiguan R might give it a run (if we get it)? You can get that car with a third row in the US and they are close in size.
The best Golf R replacement IMHO bet there’s not gonna be a 45s
The cat at 2:55 though... lmho
The lack of pops and bangs is disappointing.
sounds like you need to go aftermarket with the exhaust if you want pops and bangs.
2:53 not even the cat was impressed by this FrankenMonster
The cat that passed by tho😂😂
The car at 2:55 awwww
Agreed....hahaha 🐈
U mean Cat?:D
Yeah lmao
Reminds me of the AMC Pacer from Wayne’s World
As much as I like MB, I stopped buying them because of the stupid infotainment screens being glued to the top of the dashboards. Try as I might to get over it, I just cannot get myself to like any vehicle with an screen on top of the dash. I'll be so glad when manufacturers stop doing this.
with amg line exterior ...glb is the new star perfectt
Parents can dream again!!super car!!
The GLB looking like London Taxi on Steroids 🚖
How big is the GLB? Like X3 size?
glc 43 amg review? I think the new facelift 43 is worth reviewing... definitely more than the non facelift one as this gets much closer to a real amg.
Where can i buy it
The Air Intakes at the front from the AMG GLB 35 are functional, the ones from GLB 250 and lower are fake.
where can I found those wheels guys? thanks
The AMG for us who can't afford the real 63AMG 😃😃😃
This car or the 250 version one?
*Russian Oligarch's Wife: "Me, i asked for it!"*
Master Driver of Toyota Zupr4: She (and unlikely to be a he...) wouldn’t even deign to drive. At that level of cash input it’s about what your seen stepping out of on the way to your yacht or Harrods. Having said that with UK traffic on the increase it might be the only way to get down a side street or to park it. But they are problems for the staff - not for the oligarch and their family.
Yeah, she'd probably have the maybach gls instead
The GLB is an odd addition to the similar size GLC, it's neither a more capable offroader nor a longer wheelbase model for extra row of seat. Merc should just create a mini G class equivalent.
Looks like the new LEVC London Black Cab
I guess you can get an exhaust and a exhaust pop tune
This car will be fire in SA. The Touran use to fill this bracket but VW obviously didn't think it worked.
Are those 22" or 20" wheels?
Wheres the c63s vs facelift review
i wanna see the a class sedan as a 45s and the a class coupe should follow please
@ 14:03 "We" meaning just Raz. No1 else really.
RBR can I get a heart from you?
elka always
I like it.
Hope this unnecessary AMG makes enough revenue - so that we can enjoy more real AMGs
Exactly that's the only true value of this SUV. Help fund the future V8 Hybrid models 🔥
Tobias Henreich lol bro, naivety level 11.
There is no such thing as an unnecessary AMG Mercedes-Benz
This car is gonna be nice at shows slammed
Kodiaq VRS?
Nice looking vehicle, Iooks more like a mini van. Companies should focus more on mini van and pimp them out
Love the review, though there's a point of contention. You keep referring to the grill as the 'AMG specific grill', instead of the 'Pan America' grill. Is there something I'm missing here?
Yeah it's still the Panamericana grille. Although since AMG is slapping it on every single model left and right 🙄 (when it was originally meant to be reserved for the true V8 AMGs) he's not entirely wrong...
Yes Mercedes has stopped officially using the Panamericana name for this grill
Very similar to the old/first GLC
Which was called glk yeah X)
kinda looks like a fast hearse...
This is nowhere near the level of the R63 , but it shows that MB aren't afraid of going there again... Interesting
Can’t lie I like it but I’m not entirely sure what about it I like lol
