Last updated 26th Oct 2020
Parkers – the definitive resource for car buying advice in the UK – has partnered with Magic Radio to bring you the award for the Best Medium Family Car in the prestigious Parkers New Car Awards 2021. The winner has been revealed today (26th October) as the new Mercedes-Benz GLB – one of a total of 21 award-winning vehicles announced by Parkers.
When you're in a growing family and that supermini or hatchback you're currently driving doesn't quite cut it when trying to squeeze in all your paraphernalia, it’s time for something more practical. Or you might find yourself heading regularly out on longer trips, and you need something more luxurious and refined. Either way, our Medium Family Car Award winner, the Mercedes-Benz GLB, will take this in its stride.
It finishes ahead of the Citroen Berlingo, which - thanks to being based on the excellent van of the same name - offers masses of room inside as well as some very clever storage solutions and the roomy Skoda Octavia Estate, which has been polished up and treated to some of the most efficient engines in the business and delivers easy long-distance cruising.
Keith Adams, Parkers.co.uk Editor, said: ‘The Mercedes-Benz GLB might look like a full-sized SUV, but it’s smaller than it first appears. It also gets the swish dashboard and interior you also find in the popular A-Class, a range of fuel-efficient engines and sophisticated safety systems. There are also the advantages of a higher driving position and the option of seven seats to add into the mix. Finally, the GLB puts forward is a strong financial case – from launch, this brand-new car has some cracking monthly deals available.’
Now in its fourth year, the Parkers New Car Awards 2021 reflect the views of Britain’s car-buying public, with winners decided by a combination of the site’s expert reviewers’ verdicts in thousands of miles of road testing and the purchasing habits of the website’s 2.3+ million users actively involved in the buying process.
