While quieter-riding, more powerful and more off-road capable SUV options are available for the money, I’d happily call it a strong recommendation, thanks in no small part to some of the best lighting and suspension tech I’ve tested on northern highways - and how the GLB 35 is brimming with addictive reflexes that keep smiles within striking distance at all times. Shoppers in locales like mine can consider the GLB 35 a functional choice that combines a knockout cabin with a highly flexible performance experience.
If you’ll do a lot of driving after dark on unlit highways, this lighting system won’t disappoint. It’s easy on the eyes, reaches far into roadside culverts after dark, and delivers illumination that boosts confidence and reaction time, while reducing eye fatigue.

Rural drivers will also appreciate the Multibeam LED lighting system - one of the best in the segment. Carpeted surfaces are easily cleaned of dog hair with a household vacuum’s roller brush, too. I found the cargo area setup ideal for my 9-year old Golden Retriever, Ghost, who could confidently jump both in and out thanks to a low load-in height and rear cargo floor that’s flush with the lower edge of the cargo opening.

Steering is heavy and fast for an arcade-racer feel, and the suspension keeps the body tightly sprung against the wheels in a way that reminded this driver of something in a coilover-equipped track hatch with an aggressive setup. While you do, the engine’s pleasing and precisely tuned growl is your constant companion.

Drivers experiencing Speedshift for the first time are advised to go have a good play: the transmission won’t execute a paddle shift unless it’s safe, and if you forget to click up at full throttle, the rev-limiter has your back, complete with bright-red warning flashes in the instrument cluster.
