Mercedes Benz GLK – Definitely Worth A Look
Apart from universe, the small luxury crossover market is something that is constantly expanding. Seeing the increasing interest of auto buyers in this vastly expanding segment of automotive, the luxury automaker Mercedes Benz, finally decides to enter the market before it’s too late. So, arrives the Mercedes Benz GLK Class. The small crossover luxury GLK will be competing with a constantly increasing number of foes, and lets see what the vehicle has got to actually survive the cut-throat competition going here.
The all new Mercedes Benz GLK Class is a premium crossover SUV launched in model year 2010, and has seating capacity of 5 passengers. The SUV is available in 2 basic body styles of: the GLK350 4Matic all-wheel-drive and the rear-wheel-drive GLK350 variant. The power for both the models flows from Mercedes’ 3.5 ltr V6 engine which is capable of generating maximum power of 268 hp and 258 lbs-ft of maximum torque. The engines here are mated with 7 speed automatic transmission.
The standard equipments for the Mercedes Benz GLK class includes complete power accessories, dual-zone climate control, Bluetooth, leatherette upholstery and an 8-speaker MP3/CD audio system. And like all the other Mercedes Benz vehicles there is a wide range of optional equipments including a hard-drive-based navigation system, a panoramic sunroof, a premium surround-sound audio system and a rearview camera. Customers can also go for the rear-seat DVD entertainment, bi-xenon lighting, complete leather seating, massive amount of cosmetic appearance options and back park assist. There are a wide range of safety equipments available including the stability control, antilock brakes and a complete complement of airbags.
The most impressive thing about the GLK350 variant of the Mercedes Benz GLK class is that the steering feel and ride quality of this crossover SUV is just like the ride quality and steering feel of the C350 sedan and you’ll say the same once you’ve driven both the cars. In addition to this, both the models have almost identical fit and finish. Though, to match the blocky exterior styling of the SUV, the interiors of the Mercedes Benz GLK class has been kept more ascetic and standing. The rear seat space in the vehicle is surprisingly good for two adults, though getting in and out could be a squeeze for sure. The maximum cargo space for the vehicle is a tad less than what’s offered by most of the other rivals in the market.
The V6 engine of the Mercedes Benz GLK delivers brisk and fluent performance, the engine takes the GLK from 0 to 60 in mere low 7 secs range. The handling of the GLK class might not be as confidence-inspiring and capable as some of its agile rivals like the Infiniti EX35 or the BMW X3, but still is satisfactory. The ride of the vehicle is firm in conventional Germanic fashion, but at the same time it absorbs rutted bumps conveniently.
The Mercedes Benz GLK class might not be the most spacious or the sportiest compact Luxury SUV in the Market, but the GLK350 does deliver an unmistakable Mercedes Benz craftsmanship and engineering.
Lastly we would like to say that is you don’t have a problem in paying a premium for these qualities, and then the Mercedes Benz GLK Class definitely is worth a look.
