James Wong
Production Editor
James Wong drove this car and these were their findings:
Hits
- Added punch, grip of dual-motor drivetrain...
- ... while remaining comfortable and refined
- Retains the GLB's spacious cabin
Misses
- No seven-seat option in this spec
- Real-world driving range isn't enough
- Very pricey, off the pace in several metrics
