The following characteristics dominate the appear-
ance of the new GLK at the front:
• Steep front section
• Wide, distinctive radiator grille with large,
prominent Mercedes star
• Clearly noticeable air intake grille in a matt black
diamond-pattern design
• Projection headlamps which continue into the
fenders to provide a smooth transition between the
front and the side of the vehicle.
• Split turn signal lamps in the outside mirrors. These
are being introduced in all model series as a new
design feature of the Mercedes-Benz brand.
The powerful radiator grille is a striking design feature
of the front of the GLK and clearly indicates that this
vehicle belongs to the model family of Mercedes-Benz
cross-country vehicles.
Along with the location of the projection headlamps,
the position of the front fog lamps close to the outside
edges also underlines the width of the vehicle.
The exterior sport package includes a radiator grille
with three chrome slats which give the front section a
sporty appearance.
