The Mercedes-Benz GLB (model code X247) is a crossover SUV produced by Mercedes-Benz. It was unveiled by the German manufacturer Daimler AG on 10 June 2019 in Park City, Utah. It was previously unveiled as a concept car to the public at the Shanghai Auto Show in April 2019.

The GLB is positioned between the GLA and the larger GLC in size, however unlike these vehicles the GLB is equipped with optional third row seating due to better space distribution. The launch date for taking orders began in July 2019. The production commenced at the end of 2019 for the 2020 model year.

Overview

The GLB uses the same front-wheel-drive MFA2 platform as the W177 A-Class and the H247 GLA, but the wheelbase is 10 cm (3.9 in) longer to give it extra practicality. The result is that at 4.63 m (182.3 in), it is only 22 mm (0.9 in) shorter than a X253 GLC. Mechanically, it has standard all-wheel-drive and an eight-speed dual clutch automatic transmission, and shares its engine lineup with the A-Class.

The model adopts a square, angular style inspired by the larger X167 GLS and the former boxy shaped X204 GLK-Class. It features a MacPherson strut front and multi-link rear suspension with optional adaptive damping. Inside, the widescreen cockpit and the latest version of the MBUX interface is featured.

The Mercedes-AMG GLB 35 4MATIC was announced on 28 August 2019 in time for the 2019 IAA Frankfurt Auto Show. The GLB 35 4MATIC is the first of the 35-series models to have an eight-speed automatic gearbox; other 35-series models (A 35 4MATIC and CLA 35 4MATIC) continue with seven-speed automatic gearboxes. Fitted to GLB 35 4MATIC, the AMG-specific Panamericana Grille is used on the 35-series model for the first time.

Common Mercedes-benz Amg glb35 problems

The Mercedes-Benz AMG GLB35 has faced several common problems, primarily related to the 4-cylinder engine and leaking valves. These issues have been reported by owners of the car and are a source of frustration for many.

One of the most common problems with the Mercedes-Benz AMG GLB35 is leaking valves in the 4-cylinder engine. This issue has been reported across various model ranges, including the GLB35, GLE350, and the one-sixty-lemon (167) GLE350. The problem requires the entire cylinder head to be replaced, which can be a costly and time-consuming repair. This issue has been reported by multiple owners, indicating that it is a widespread problem with the GLB35.

Another problem with the Mercedes-Benz AMG GLB35 is related to the engine cylinder head. In some cases, the cylinder head has been found to have leaking valves, which can cause the engine to stall out. This issue has been reported by a GLB35 owner who experienced the problem after filling up their tank and driving a mile away from the gas station. The car stalled out, with no cell or dash notification, and had to be towed to a Mercedes dealership for repair. The problem was found to be a leaking cylinder head valve, which was covered under warranty.

Despite these issues, many GLB35 owners have reported that they are not experiencing these problems. However, the prevalence of these issues has led some owners to insist on a buyback or trade of their vehicle.

In summary, the Mercedes-Benz AMG GLB35 has faced several common problems related to the 4-cylinder engine and leaking valves. These issues have been reported by multiple owners and can be costly and time-consuming to repair. While not all GLB35 owners have experienced these problems, the prevalence of these issues has led some to insist on a buyback or trade of their vehicle.

Mercedes-benz Amg glb35 2021
  • Date Of Incident: 2023-04-04
  • Date Complaint: 2023-04-07
  • VIN: W1N4M5BB0MW
  • Components: VISIBILITY/WIPER
  • Summary: I was driving home on a residential street at approximately 30 MPH. I heard a loud pop or bang sound coming from the top middle area of my windshield. I checked for any windshield damage, observed none. I thought the whole noise strange as nothing had hit my car or windshield. A couple days later I noticed that the glass panel between the windshield and sunroof, was completely shattered, with a horizontal crack running across the panel. I also noticed that the framing between the panel and windshield was not right. It sort of was "popped" outward. There was no warning regarding this failure. I had hand washed the vehicle 3 days prior and everything looked fine. I have had conversations with my local dealer regarding this issue and so far, am getting considerable push back, that this is my problem. Even though this problem seems very similar to the once experienced by the MB 2017-2020 C class, where this panel failed, and the sunroofs blew off. I am taking the car in to the dealer today for them to look at.
