As with any gifted athlete, success is not achieved from muscle alone.
Of course, as its new Direct Injection V-6 engine aptly demonstrates,
it’s a commanding head start. But within its crisp, upright lines, a GLK
is an exceptionally well-rounded performer. It expertly wields its ample
torque through a 7-speed automatic transmission with sporty shift
paddles. Its standard 19" alloy wheels, AGILITY CONTROL
®
suspension
and highly rigid body respond to every twist in the road with quick,
precise reflexes. And unlike many SUVs of its size, the GLK’s confident
footwork comes from its naturally balanced rear-wheel drive or the
option of nimble, efficient 4
matic
®
all-wheel drive. Muscle, after all, is
most impressive — and most effective — when you know how to flex it.
FLEX, AND REFLEX.
GLK 350.
An advanced new 302-hp Direct Injection V-6 and clever ECO Start/Stop system
convert less gasoline into more power with fewer emissions. Serenaded by the mellow growl
of true dual exhausts, it can return 60 mph in 6.4 seconds,
1
or up to 25 highway mpg.

Reveling.
A new generation of refinements
makes the 7-speed automatic swifter and
smoother than ever. Adaptive logic paces
the shifting to your driving style. Sport and
ECO modes let you emphasize rpm or mpg
on demand. And a new electronic selector
and shift paddles let you change gears
without taking your hands off the wheel.
Riveting.
The tenacity of 4
matic
all - wheel
drive is a GLK 350 option that adds driving
confidence year-round. Its integral 4-wheel
Electronic Traction System (4 -ETS
®
) can
continually redistribute the torque to the
wheels with the best grip — even if that’s a
single wheel.

And with its light weight and
45:55 front/rear torque split, 4
matic
is
also efficient, sporty and fun on dry roads.
Revitalizing.
The GLK’s fully independent
multilink suspension shares more than its
limber configuration with our sport sedans.
It also features our AGILITY CONTROL —
an innovation that responds to the motion
of each wheel. With every change in the
road surface, it instantly recalibrates the
damping rates for quick, athletic handling
while maintaining a calm, composed ride.
Ravishing.
The standard 19" triple 5-spoke
wheels offer ample evidence of the GLK’s
roadholding expertise. Or go even bolder
with either of two 20" wheel options: A
twin 5-spoke design in the Appearance
Package. Or legendary AMG
®
twin 5-spoke
alloy wheels, set off by the sculpted lower
bodywork of the AMG Styling Package.
