Powered by a 268-horsepower, 3.5-liter V6 engine the 2010MY GLK 350 will form the basis of the U.S. lineup, and will be offered in both 4MATIC and two-wheel-drive versions, riding on standard 19-inch 10-spoke wheels with 235/50 tires. The GLK features a 108.5-inch wheelbase and boasts unique design language which sets it apart from the rest of the highly successful Mercedes-Benz family of SUVs that includes the M-Class (which spurred the trend toward more car-like SUVs), the larger GL-Class, the crossover R-Class and the iconic G-Class.
Mercedes' new baby doesn't exactly charm with its appearance. Its boxy body, with upright windows and heavy-handed sculptured side panels, looks unhandsome at best. The design is supposed to convey timeless G-wagen cues, but we think the GLK could have done with a fashion advisor.
