Hi, my name is Leonie von Hase and one of the many perks of being Miss Germany is
that I get to test-drive some really cool cars like this new Mercedes-Benz GLB.
What I especially love about it is its spaciousness.
You can fit just about anything you need into it, but I’m going to give you a 360° tour of the car now.
The new Mercedes-Benz GLB can transport up to seven people at the same time, this is thanks to the
third seat row in the back, which can seat people up to 1.68 metres of height.
Super convenient if you’re transporting a lot of children or children’s friends.
But if you’re not in use of this third row, you simply fold it down and there’s plenty
of room for luggage.
Oh, and if you’re wondering how I managed to open the tailgate as if through magic,
this is thanks to the HANDS-FREE ACCESS, which you can activate with a simple kick,
works for closing, too.
Let’s jump inside.
I don’t understand why not every car has a sunroof, it adds so much lightness and more
feeling of space inside the cabin.
With this panoramic sunroof in the Mercedes-Benz GLB, it makes it feel like you’re almost driving a convertible.
It just adds so much more room to it.
Another thing that I really enjoy about the Mercedes-Benz GLB is the higher seating position in the driver’s seat.
You can adjust it accordingly, up or down.
And it makes me feel like I have a really good vantage point and a really great overview
of the traffic.
When I got approached by Mercedes-Benz to test-drive the new Mercedes-Benz GLB, I got super excited,
specifically because this car can go off-road.
And growing up in Namibia, going off-road is something that I have enjoyed and partaken in
from a very young age.
First, obviously, with my parents and later on I did it myself.
And this specific Mercedes-Benz GLB comes with a 4MATIC all-wheel drive, which gives the car
really great traction and stability on light off-road terrain and snowy roads.
So, let’s take it for a spin.
Another thing that is really great is the Off-Road Engineering package
and the Off-Road Engineering package has various little features that are super great,
one of which I’m going to show you now.
And this is called the Downhill Speed Regulation.
So, with the DSR, Downhill Speed Regulation, you have assistance in driving downhill because
there is an automatic preselected slow speed and targeted braking that just helps you
be a little bit more secure.
So, I’ll show you how this works now.
So, I have set it to five kilometres per hour and I have taken my foot off the pedal.
I keep it close to the brake just in case because I like to have the extra safety,
but I wouldn’t need to do that.
And this very clever car is navigating me down this slightly precarious downhill.
And I can just concentrate on all the fun, I guess.
There we go.
See, we made it to the bottom.
Whoo!
What a day.
That was amazing.
I had so much fun doing the off-road.
Definitely worked up a bit of a sweat.
So, I think I’m ready for some wellness.
And what I really love about the Mercedes-Benz GLB is that it has the ENERGIZING package.
Now, the ENERGIZING package helps you to stay fit or to be reinvigorated or to relax
while you’re on the road.
And it’s a series of ten-minute programmes that influence ambient lighting, music, seat massage,
things like that.
So, I think I am ready for some vitality.
Oh, nice, the massage is great.
So, I hope that you enjoyed this 360-degree tour of the Mercedes-Benz GLB with me.
Let me know if you like the car or love it as much as I do in the comments below.
And I’ll see you next time, guys.
Take care.
