4x4 Pedigree With its functional yet attractive and striking body lines, standard leather interior and extraordinary capabilities both on and off the road, the distinctive GLK sets new standards in the compact SUV segment. The GLK not only sets itself apart from the competitive line-up by virtue of its functional yet strikingly attractive body design, but also utilises Agility Control suspension to marry outstanding performance and handling safety for a first-class level of ride comfort. Working in conjunction with the onboard electronic control systems, the variable 4MATIC four-wheel drive ensures perfect on-road performance together with well-balanced off-road capabilities. “The GLK rounds off our extremely successful SUV family of the ML-Class, GL-Class, G-Class, and transfers typical Mercedes-Benz attributes such as refinement, dynamism and safety into a compact format,” says

Frank Bernthaler, Director, Sales and Marketing, Mercedes-Benz Middle East & Levant. “This means that the bar in this market segment has been raised considerably.” Superior performance is assured by the range of powerful yet economical and environmentally compatible six-cylinder engines. The GLK 280 comes with 231 horsepower while the 3.4 litre 272 horsepower GLK 350 model can hit 100 kmh in just 6.7 seconds – similar to a sports car’s performance. A very high standard of onboard features and attractive equipment packages will distinguish the GLK from the rest of the compact SUV field. Moreover, the very latest systems, such as the trailblazing PRE SAFE safety concept or the Intelligent Light System (ILS), are available for the first time in this market segment.
