The Mercedes-Benz GLK 350 exists to defend the brand from small SUVs as BMW X3 and Audi Q5. The interior commands are very similar to a C Class sedan, but it fits five people and their luggage with certain comfort.
Filled with nice details, the interior has memory power front seats with heating option, adjustable power steering wheel and dual sunroof. The tailgate opens and closes with the simple push of a button. And the rain sensing wipers are very intelligent and capable! In terms of security, this Mercedes comes with all the obvious bags and electronics, including the NeckPro for whiplash protection.
The controls are not intuitive at all. For instance, the sound system is great, but difficult to understand and the auxiliary input is inside the glove compartment, right by the passenger door. The steering wheel holds the board computer commands, witch also lack intuitiveness!
Powered by 268 hp with the help of a 6-speed automatic transmission, the engine is cleaver and fast: 0 to 60 in 10 seconds. However the gas needle follows the driver’s enthusiasm falling quickly when one presses the pedal!
Aside from these details the GLK is a great luxury SUV and can triumphantly show off the three-point star on its hood.
