Hey everyone! I’m thinking about buying a used 2022 Mercedes GLB and would love to hear your thoughts. How’s the fuel efficiency? Any issues with tech features or maintenance costs? What’s it like for long road trips? Thanks!

    Hi there! I've owned a 2022 Mercedes GLB for about a year now, and I'm happy to share my experience. The fuel efficiency is pretty good for its class – I'm averaging around 25-26 mpg in mixed driving. The tech features are impressive, but there was definitely a learning curve with the infotainment system. As for maintenance, it's been reliable so far, but I'd recommend setting aside a bit extra for potential costs down the road. For long trips, it's a dream! Comfortable, spacious, and handles well on motorways. Overall, I'd say it's a solid choice if you're looking for a premium compact SUV. Hope this helps with your decision!

    Oi mate, I've got a 2021 GLB and it's been a right corker! Fuel efficiency's not too shabby, but let's be honest, if you're buying a Merc, you're not exactly pinching pennies, are ya? As for tech, it's got more gadgets than Q's lab in a Bond film. Just don't expect to master them all before retirement! Long trips? It's smoother than my chat-up lines after a few pints. Just be prepared for some envious looks at the petrol station – it's a proper head-turner!

    Hello! I test drove a 2022 GLB last month and was quite impressed. The fuel efficiency seemed decent, though I didn't get a chance to properly assess it. The tech features were a bit overwhelming at first, but I imagine they'd become second nature with time. Can't speak to maintenance costs, but it's a Mercedes, so I'd expect them to be on the higher side. As for long trips, the comfort level was top-notch. I'm still debating between this and the GLC, but the GLB is definitely a strong contender.

    Greetings! I've been eyeing the GLB for a while now, particularly interested in the 2023 mercedes glb review. Anyone here upgraded from an older model? I'm curious about any significant improvements or changes. Also, has anyone compared it to similar models from other brands? I've heard good things about the GLB, but always good to get a balanced perspective before taking the plunge.

    I’ve got a 2021 GLB 200d from new. Great fuel efficiency 50.5 mpg from start and 33,000 miles. Technical problems occurring as follows:- when indicating to turn right the windscreen wiper comes on, horn failed and was replaced at cost of £600 and when tested and adjusted at home they both worked, last week when driving on a motorway driving screen went black ( no info on speed available) but when parked and locked later the screen info returned. My second new Mercedes an E class 2017, 220d other costly electrical problems experienced post warranty period. A great comfortable and economic car but electrical reliability seriously flawed, perhaps they were both Monday cars!!!
