Mercs GLB180 vs GLB200

[Acetone]

What is the difference?
is it PI vs authorised dealer?

Looking at 2nd hand <5 years.

I like the GLB200, got the AMG line diamond grill. But seems like its from PI?

The GLB180 progressive got the 2 bar grill and less powerful? But from C&C?

Anyone who has driven either of these 2 can advise?

Kum sia.

U should have bought the GLB at motor show, only $200k, they had a 50k discount.

this car not popular at its price point

T4 should be good enough. T5 if you want to lup those slow tortoises GLBs cannot see light .

T5 is their inline 5?
~ 240hp n 350nm?

Get from AD. Dun bother with all these small PI which might run road anytime.

The last forester turbo is of this specs I think

Tiagong my friend who owns the GLB 180 he uses software tuning to tune it to the same power as GLB200

Like that also can?

GLBs are slow horses. Use a stock lancer also can beat it.

 

[nachtsid.er]

colleague told me no diff, esp if u get the C&C 180 version. can always tune up to 200 HP and Torque

I prefer the GLC300.

Since 2011, Volvo T5s are actually inline4 initially using Ford's ecoboost and later on their own inline4 modular engines for T4 to T8. Had one in my S80 T5 which was pretty decent.

Since no more warranty, just get the higher specs one if their mileages are quite close.

I drove glb200 for two years, it's not powerful but very comfy for passengers, still prefer other brands, imo 200 is more worth it for the slight boost in power

Voxy also 7 seater, very spacious

U tune ecu liao can forget about agent warranty

But the brand

 

[fulaien]

both are 1.3L engine.

basically for such a huge car, don't expect it to be powerful even if there's a turbo inside or tune up.
In fact, from what I read, it is very sluggish. That's why u see a lot of people off loading this.

u want more powerful, buy the GLC

Actually I don't need alot of power.
If not I just get sealion 7.

I need the 7 seater space for family.

GLC is nice but strangely less space than GLB. If GLB fold down last row, the boot space is better.

Of course GLC is nicer and more luxurious.

Glb180 is only 128hp. Too weak.

In B4 top up a bit

Difference in just design and who drink more oil.

GLB is GLB, it's the equal category of GLA.
A and B levels are just what Mercedes chin chye vomit and throw to the mass market to earn extra money because people are SUCKERS for the merc badge and strut like peacocks when they are in reality - Roosters at best.

The real consumer base that Mercedes focuses in order of priority from lowest to highest are C, E, S and Maybach.

Harsh words, but yah, that's the reality of how Merc treats its consumers in reality.

I'd say, neither. If left only 5yrs or lesser, I'd rather u get a simple Jap car.

When u truly make it after that 5yrs or lesser, then walk into Merc showroom at Alexandra to get a C, E, S or Maybach:
- U wan XMM salesgirl talk to you, not so reliable and not so senior, everything no discount/need to check + u wan to jio her out and hopefully u dun kena meatbao-ed, wear branded from top to bottom.
- U wan auntie (but more senior and reliable) saleswoman talk to you, wear normal or berms+tee+slippers.
