Brief description
Vehicle concept
The market launch of the new GLK-Class will take
place in January 2009. This vehicle has no prede-
cessor. It is the entry-level variant of the model range.
With the GLK, Mercedes-Benz is offering a cross-
country vehicle in the compact SUV segment for the
first time.
With its striking design, the GLK clearly distinguishes
itself from the pack of compact SUVs on the market.
Particular emphasis was also placed on the haptics
and visual appearance of the interior when imple-
menting the design. The new GLK has a dramatic,
expressive image with plenty of style and indepen-
dence.
The GLK is equipped with the exterior sport package,
which underscores the characteristics of the vehicle in
a sporty manner.
