Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

The Mercedes-AMG GLB 35 takes the small-yet-practical GLB and adds much more power and four-wheel drive. Just don’t go thinking passengers in the back will enjoy any full-bore starts.

Pros
Stylish looks
High-class cabin
Impressively quick

Cons
Less fun than a hot-hatch
Cramped third row of seats
Alternatives have bigger boots

By: 
carwow.co.uk

Pros
Gives customers more options to choose from
Won’t lack in power relative to the competition around it
Equipped with the latest Mercedes technology

Cons
I personally like the GLA better
A three-row, seven-seater compact crossover could create problems of its own
Might be more expensive than expected

By: 
topspeed.com

Pros
Smooth-running powertrain,
deluxe interior,
expensive looks match its starting price.

Cons
Not as athletic as its rivals,
steering could be more tactile,
infotainment interface isn't as intuitive as we'd like.

By: 
caranddriver.com

Pros
Connected steering with just the right amount of weight
Quiet and comfortable with excellent ride quality
Mild hybrid system improves responsiveness and efficiency
Interior build quality and materials are exceptional

Cons
Wireless charging pad is hard to reach
Where are the ventilated seats?
Plug-in model not available yet
Multimedia system can be complicated to use
