The silhouette of the GLK is characterized by the
classic elements of a cross-country vehicle: short
overhangs, a straight front section, a steep windshield
and a tight roof line, here combined with a dynamic
roof spoiler.
The height of the vehicle is significantly greater than
that of a standard sedan. This gives the driver a good
all-round view. The panels on the window frames of
the doors are painted in high-gloss black and blend
into the two large vehicle side windows. This makes
the privacy glass appear to be one large surface,
which in turn makes the GLK appear longer.
With the exterior sport package, the design is accen-
tuated by striking rocker panels in the vehicle color.
Depending on the equipment installed, the large wheel
arches can accommodate up to 20-inch wheels.
Special light alloy disk wheels underscore and high-
light the sporty appearance of the GLK-Class.
