It is said that the Mercedes-Benz GLB has unrivaled value for money. Is this car really worth buying?

I believe everyone likes luxury cars. As one of the typical representatives of luxury car brands, Mercedes-Benz has always been sought after and loved by many people. Many friends even regard owning a Mercedes-Benz as a small goal in life. Since it is a luxury car, the price will naturally not be cheap. However, the Mercedes-Benz GLB, a model owned by Mercedes-Benz, is not so "out of reach" and can be owned with a little effort. Let's take a look.

In last year’s sales, the sales of Mercedes-Benz GLB were not ideal. It can be said to be one of the "worst models" among Mercedes-Benz's entire SUV models. Even though it has a relatively good discount margin, it still cannot save the growth of sales. Therefore, Mercedes-Benz GLB is also called "the most failed Mercedes-Benz" by many netizens. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the Mercedes-Benz GLB are 4638/1834/1687mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2829 mm. Compared with models of the same grade, this body data is indeed acceptable. The Mercedes-Benz GLB has 5/7 seats, and the 7-seat layout is 2-3-2. In terms of actual space performance (taking a 7-seater as an example): The second row of Mercedes-Benz GLB has enough space, but the last row is very crowded and oppressive, making people feel uncomfortable while riding.

In the interior, Mercedes-Benz GLB continues the family-style design language, and the dual-screen design in the central control area enhances its sense of technology. Large areas of leather packaging and chrome applications create a strong luxurious atmosphere. Mid- to high-end models are also equipped with indoor environment, etc. For those who pursue "romance", this design is undoubtedly very thoughtful. Therefore, we can also see that even though the price of Mercedes-Benz GLB is not very high, it perfectly inherits the family's "gene" in creating indoor atmosphere.

In terms of power, the 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLB is equipped with a 1.3T turbocharged engine. In terms of transmission, it is equipped with a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox, of which the 1.3T low-power version has a maximum horsepower of 136. As for the Mercedes-Benz GLB equipped with a 1.3T engine, the editor believes that it goes without saying that everyone can feel that Mercedes-Benz is a bit "unkind". If you buy a 7-seat Mercedes-Benz GLB model and drive it with a full load, the 1.3T power will obviously be insufficient. Therefore, Mercedes-Benz is quite good at "keeping accounts", and the price and discount range look very attractive. However, isn’t the entire 1.3T engine a typical “little horse-drawn car”? Don't think that the Mercedes-Benz GLB just means less power. Judging from the recent complaints, the lack of power is negligible, and abnormal engine noise has become one of the typical complaints. You don’t know how Beijing Benz controls quality, so there is a reason for its poor sales.
