Mercedes-Benz GLB-Class Mild Hybrid

Own this car for 4 months now. Spacious and tall enough for good view on the road. Stable and power is sufficient even when loaded with full capacity of 7 pax. This is probably due to turbo and mild hybrid giving it an additional boost. Entertainment system is easy and fun to use. Easy to connect to Android Auto and Navigation. Mercedes app is amazing too. Tracking car location, lock status or lock remotely, and etc. Definitely worth to test drive it and consider for people who are considering.... Read More

I test drove the car when it was first launched almost 4 years ago. The car has gone through a few facelifts. It now comes with a Cat A COE and a petrol hybrid engine. The standard version still does not come with a second row air con duct, but you can add it for a fee. Despite how heavy the car is, even with a full load where all 7 seats are used, it does not feel like it is struggling for power even when going up hill which is a pleasant surprise. Sound wise, the engine is still audible. If it bothers you, there are sound proofing you can buy to add to the hood to address that. For me, the sound level was okay and the sound system is pretty decent so I was not too bothered about it. The safety features are pretty decent too. But they need to be toned down for Singapore traffic and not all can be used. For example, one needs to adjust the active brake assist needs to be set at one car length. My wife profile was not set up properly, and the car was constantly braking for her. And if you leave your phone on the wireless charging pad when you leave the car, the car will remind you to take your phone which comes in handy. It takes some getting used to when driving in tight car parks. I reckon it's due to the height of the SUV. There is no 360 camera for the car, so one has to learn how to gauge the turning points. But for its size, its turning radius is fairly decent and is easy to turn. Overall, I am pretty happy with the car.... Read More
