Mercedes-Benz GLB Mild Hybrid

Sales does not want you to know this function is here! Every time you start the car you need to repeat this steps 1) Need to switch off auto start stop else air compress will stop will the engine. 2) On air recirculation control else smelly road air will get into cabin (note will auto off after some time) Collision avoidance system is not stable. Have shocking hard emergency brake hard activated when there is no car in front of us, lucky there is no car behind us Air recirculation control will auto off after 15-25mins you need to take you hands away from the steering wheel to on it. Ride in on the firmer side, wind noise start around 60km/h and get louder above 90km/h. Road noise is ok for me will try to change to other tyres or lower rear tyres pressure. Small engine heavy car so will roar but ok for a family car. 7DCT gearbox gear change gear change is very noticeable. Car roll on slope.

changed from a mz6 to a GLB180. Space wise, similar but: A) driver's seat is alot higher from a sedan B) ALOT MORE TECH - it is something that needs time to get used to (MBUX is not as easy) C) Comfort is way higher than a Mz6 - NVH is lesser due to better insulation D) Engine - from a 60 highway 40 city driving pattern - the 1.3T is similar in terms of pick up with the 2L NA engine. GLB is also a heavier car so do expect a slight drag. also since car is higher, have to tamper your cornering ambitions. E) SUV's a total different creature from sedan - ingress is alot more comfortable and natural (climbing up and into the car vs the sedan where you go downwards and slide into the car) Overall the seats and upholstery is firmer and higher quality. you get what you paid for. disagree that the engine is "anemic" as we are afterall, driving in traffic light heavy Singapore. Can barely hit gear 3 and we're stopping at the next traffic light.... Read More
