2010 Mercedes GLK Class review


Recommended Posts

The smallest SUV offering from Mercedes-Benz is the GLK – and as the name suggests, follows in the vein of its bigger sibling the Mercedes GL-Class.

However, unlike the GL-Class which is designed to be one of the most competent off-roaders on the market, the GLK is designed more for smooth tarmac rather than rutted wadi beds.

That’s not to say the GLK doesn’t have all the technological bells and whistles for it to do a decent job on the tricky stuff, you just feel that it would rather not get its low-profile tyres too dusty. Rather than being developed as an all-new model from the ground up, the GLK uses a development of the platform from the C-Class sedan.

The GLK arrived in the region at the tail end of 2008 and is the German’s brand first real attempt at a Compact SUV. It hails from the boxy-school of design that gives it a certain rugged and strong appearance. With seating for five and a reasonable sized boot, the GLK is a good choice for a small family looking to go up in the world. The raised seating position of the GLK gives the driver a good view of the road ahead.

Like most Mercedes models sold locally, equipment levels are quite high as standard, though you do pay a certain premium for all the niceties over other European rivals.

Power is provided by a choice of two V6 engines – a 3.0-litre with 231bhp and a 3.5-litre with 272bhp. Both drive all four-wheels of the GLK through an extremely smooth-shifting seven-speed automatic
