  • I own this car. THE. BEST. THING. I. HAVE. HAD. IN. MY. WHOLE. LIFE.

    I kinda wish I had a navigation system though, but I couldn't afford it. :(

  • the engine on the 2009-present Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class

    Engine

    2.2L CDI I4

    3.0L V6

    3.5L V6

    3.0L CDI V6

  • over priced, ugly interior, bad handling. Audi Q5, Range Rover Evoque, or BMW X3 are all much better. A Shame, since this looks so good on the outside. Not enough though.

  • @gheffty93 just a fact but i really dont think you should have compared it with a audi q5 , range rover and bmw cause dude this is a freaking mid sized suv... even though it claims to be mid it seems like a small cuv or suv so i dont think they should compare it with suv or mid size maybe you should stop picking on it and try comparing it to m class or gl class

  • @fuzzy15946 what? These vehicles are all in the same class - the small premium crossover segment. and as good as this looks, it is worse in every other way. Not even mentioning how cramped the back seat is. And as good as it loo,s, it is not that much better than its closest competition, and the new Evoque looks better now. And comparing it to a GL or M would be beyond stupid. Different segments completely. 

  • @gheffty93 nah they arnt small crossovers there like a mid size suv

  • @fuzzy15946 ok it has become apparent that you have no idea what you are talking about. I could go on about how the X5 and the M class make up the midsize segment along with the MDX, but it is clear that you will not see logic.

  • My next truck, sometime next yr

  • Anyone else think the lines on the hood, windows along with the roof rails make it look like a ram (the animal)?

  • I'm choosing this over the Cayenne. Simple, elegant, classy and for a great place. Not to mention its a Benz.

  • America = Lonely At The Top.

  • the 2009-present Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class is assembled in

    Bremen, Germany

    6th of October City, Egypt

  • Taking in my X5 for the GLK.

  • The Acura MDX @ 300hp AWD is a better choice.

  • Comment removed

  • i love this car !!! my Husband is going to buy me one next yr i look forward to driving it its such a nice car Beautiful right size car i love the interior design its pretty:)

  • this is a great looking vehicle and it has that built to last Mercedes quality that you cant get from Audi or BMW or any other car manufacture. if you bought that car today 30 years from now your still going to be driving it and everything inside still going touch or feel like it came from the factory. Mercedes spends million and millions of dollars a year, so that there cars are built with 101 % customer satisfaction.this is how Mercedes built there reputation

  • @anthonypp100 Too bad all that "quality" doesn't translate to reliability.

  • BMW x1 looks better

  • Ugly

  • ugly .....i rather have a rav4 or a pajero

  • q5 or this?

  • i dont like the interior. same with bmw's i really dont like the interior of the cars they have no style i prefer Acura over Mercedes.

  • @dundermiflin892 You say BMW and Mercedes has no style, but you prefer an ACURA>?!?

    Mercedes and BMW are engineering marvels, and their styling is meant to be ELEGANT and FUNCTIONAL.

    Acuras merely are over-priced hondas, and they have no styling. It's all about including as many lights and buttons on the dashboard to make it seem like it has a lot of features... Don't even get me started on acuras exterior styling, the new TL looks like it's been carved with an axe.

  • @3x0rcyst3m ok im not going to defend the new TL cuz yeah it looks weird. But yeah i mean the interior of the two cars. BMW's are real nice looking cars dont get me wrong but they have the same dash since like the 90's and the technology so outdated. screams Old man car in the inside. Where as the Acura interior on all their cars especially the new TL looks nice and well equipped with technology. Plus the new TSX and MDX look amazing. Plus they are honda's which what makes them that much better.

  • @dundermiflin892 Im not going to rip on Honda because they make amazing and affordable cars. But thats just it, an Acura is just an overpriced honda. If you want a real luxury performance car you buy a BMW or Mercedes, because they aren't just a rebadged car.

    Acuras are comparable to Mercury's and Buicks, not BMW's and Mercedes.

    and what about an M3, M5 or SLS AMG is old man?

    The Canadian Military also uses Mercedes G wagons... these companies are pure performance, unlike acura.

  • @3x0rcyst3m Mercedes break real easy tho i have a few buddies who's wives own Mercedes car and their cars are always getting serviced because something goes wrong if not one thing another. and the cars are no where near cheep to fix. BMW are reliable so no comment their on reliability.

  • @dundermiflin892 hahahahah bs

  • And those 2 TVs in the back!! What, did they come from Wal-mart?!

  • I don't see why people would buy this, it's already been rated as the worst in it's class by Motor Trend AND Car&Driver. It's only FACT. The Lexus is more comfortable and the Volvo is more practical, and faster, and the Audi and BMW are the most engaging to drive. Remember, these are ONLY FACTS NOT ASSUMPTIONS. According to me and the 2 major magazines mentioned above.

  • @AdrianC12345 - Motor Trend and Car and Driver don't know WTF they are talking about. What a bout reveiwing the service you get at the dealership. I can tell you Audi and Porsche would come in dead last based on that experience. The GLK is a wonderful car. Retro-Styling is just amazing. Go buy an Audi or Beamer .. Boring ...

  • @georgeron99 Retro styling? It's a box with smaller boxes and wheels. Mercedes dealerships are nothing special. And how can you say they don't know what the fuck they are talking about?? Fanboy...

  • @georgeron99 - Because they don't know WTF their talking about. I've followed their advice before I purchased my Porsche Boxster S. Fun car but you'd think it was made in China !

    What a piece of crap and the service was worse than the car. The GLK rocks you are in the minority with your opinion in that realm. You need to see what the customers are saying. Not what some underpaid jealous journalist has to say. Have you ever owned a Merc? Come on tell the truth ...

  • @AdrianC12345 BTW, I just read a Car & Driver review that was actually very positive. I guess it's down to Motor Trend ?

  • I drove this today, but I hate it, because the backseat is very cramped, there isn't much trunk space behind the back seat, and the displays is pethetic, and average 19 MPG $35,000 this is rediculous, If I would spend $35,000 on a car, I would by a Toyota Hilander, or a tundra Crew Max pickup.

  • @sideslide23 It's already been rated as the worst in its class by Motor Trend and Car&Driver. I've seen it it's terrible.

  • @AdrianC12345 the GLK wa my cousin loaner car, I like my 08 camry

  • @sideslide23 The Camery, when it's in SEL trim is a very nice almost premium car to be in. For the money the Camery is a much nicer car.

  • @AdrianC12345 - LOL !!! By the way, it's spelled "Camry".

  • @AdrianC12345 - This is a great car. Don't listen to what the mag turds say. There wrong most of the time !

  • Love the t-shirt under the shirt.

  • Comment removed

  • it looks so american.. here in italy they sold 3 or so -.-

  • @ipodgrey2 hahaha most americans wouldnt fit though

  • @nelson4568 LOLLL great joke!! :DD

  • @ipodgrey2 ... It is made in Germany and it looks German.

  • @georgeron99 german made, totally agree. But I can't see any german style, it's too boxy, it looks like a jeep cheerokee!

  • @ipodgrey2 ... If it is made in Germany and Styled by the Germans, how is it not German. Listen I like round lines too, on a Maserati or Ferrari. This car may be designed for bigger countries than Italy. I do love, Italy don't get me wrong. But I don't think it looks American at all. I looks and feels German. In a very good way I might add. You know if the Alpha 135 wagon was available in Canada I might have purchased one. But hard to beat the German service and reliability.

  • my dad has thiss carr andd its really really awesome you fell so awesomeee in itttt

  • Germans have the best cars

  • c'mon mercedes, you couldn't even flush-mount the damn DVD screens. just left them hangin off the headrest. that's disappointing.

  • @twentydashone They did that for safety. In the event of a crash, the headrests will adjust themselves to keep the driver from getting injured. So, it's not disappointing. It's a very good feature and just another way of how safe Mercedes's vehicles are.

  • Tbh it looks cheap inside. Id rather get an X6 bmw. I like the exterior a LOT!, but the interior is such a downfall for me :(. Sad, really sad...

  • Chevy interiors :-/

  • The car is licensed in FL but, there is snow on the ground! LOL

  • @TRAVELot2009 Mercedes most likely sent them a review car from FL

  • nice car, but not a huge fan of the interior.. looks cheap kind of c-classy-ish

  • this shouldve been the redisgn of the GL if not the replacment..the GL has had the same desgn for hmm idunno 10 yrs maybe

  • @sexyboi142 sorry i meant the G wagon which hasnt had a redesign in 20+ years

  • wtf are you in Pittsburgh?

  • I don't know why you guys don't like the look of this car. Its finally a crossover that doesn't look like a prius. I drive a 2010 civic and although the looks are passable, the shape of the body is reminiscent of the prius. Round wedge shaped cars look ultra lame.

  • @factionxvt408x I totally agree. Round cars are getting really boring ! We all need a little edge !

  • Sexy car; great for couples. Cargo space no problem, just use back seat if you need to.

  • nice car, but I still prefer normal C-class ;)

  • way too small?

  • this guy looks like a par time car reviewer/ part time hit man

  • $50 000 is nothing ! This car in Norway, with the same styling package, costs about 800 000 NOK, equivalent to 128 319 USD ! :p

  • very nice luxury suv, very sporty looking, if ur concerned about the cargo/room dimensions, then get the M-class, a mid sized suv

  • Ugh. Why Mercedes? WHY?!?!?!

  • the car looks like a freakin casket

  • I like the GLK but if you want something that's the same price and has alot of room i would go with the XC-60 or and X3 but the GLK got the Mercedes Benz luxury so that's why people buy it.

  • @tomriley123 Volvo is a POS. Why would you buy a Volvo over Acura or Lexus?

  • i know i love Merc's but this i was in one of these and there just no good. they have no leg room, they could really only sit four, but the Volvo and X3 are diffrent with more leg room and they will seat five. But over BMW, and Volvo, i would deffinatly tak the Benz for it's engineering and quality anad cause it's german! :)

  • @tomriley123 Dude, the X3 only has 1 more inch and the volvo 2 more. Thats not much of a difference. Besides if you move the seat 2 inches forward you have more room in the back, its that simple. If you want interior room why not get a CRV or Rav 4? They both have 38 inches of rear legroom.

  • @tomriley123

    bmw is also german! ;)

  • @tomriley123 Nope, not at all. It's because they have a great reputation for quality and service. Plus this thing just looks awesome !

  • me get volvo. has character.

  • @minibus1351 Why would anyone get a Volvo?

    Answer: Cause you can't afford a Benz.

  • no man.  no.

  • @minibus1351 I'd rather take an Acura or Lexus over a glorified Ford.

  • dude, wake up. acura and lexus are both glorified honda and toyota. wtf are you blabbering about?

  • @minibus1351 So true ! 

  • this dude sounds exactly like TOBY from the office

  • Say what you want about the design but here's the difference. Almost every compact SUV on the road these days looks the same. How many times have you mistaken one vehicle for another while out and about? That won't happen with this car....IT STICKS OUT and does so in a very retro, stylish way. I've driven one for a week and have received more comments about its appearance (positive) than anything else. If you buy a mercedes you don't want to be mistaken for a Kia....that's the diff!

  • Comment removed

  • @LawBoy25 STFU, you can't afford one.

  • Comment removed

  • @LawBoy25 - Well, I'm not that much of a young man and have quite an impressive net worth.

    I'm the CEO of a company that's been in business for 30 years.

    I like the GLK. It's modern refreshing and priced very well. I haven't done as well has I have by wasting my money on unnecessary extravagance. Mercedes have gone down this road because they know it's the future. 20% of all their sales future ! So if you want them to keep building the GL you better like the GLK !

  • It's about time that somebody came out with a masculine design. Most of it's competition look like suppositories. And while some of them are pretty nice.....can they turn 0-60 in 6.6 seconds and tow 3500 pounds while in a very quiet environment? Speaking as somebody who has tested the GLK on harsh roads and high speed highways, it IS a Luxury car. Not mentioned here is the adaptive suspension that comes standard. It comes nicely equipped for less than 34K quoted by dealer.

  • This car looks like Balls of wheels, Absolutely nothing i'd buy.

  • the GLK does looke a bit odd...

  • for 2010 this is nothing!!

    Tail light look a like 2005 toyota Highlander

  • i think the audi q5 looks better than this

  • Comment removed

  • you people are idiots if you think the glk is ugly.. you guys have no idea what good styling is. the design of this car is great. STRONG mercedes, great quality.... you guys keep talking and keep driving your american trash cars.

  • WOW! someone is finally smart on utube good argument :)

  • I am American. I love the GLK. I believe it is gorgeous. Along with many other foerign cars. Why do people feel that they must bash on Americans because of how some act and you disagree with their government policy? I am not about to dislike someone because of where they reside. It is offensive. Please think about what you are saying and the implications of it. There are just as many well educated smart citizens in America and we wish not to be grouped with those that cast a bad image of us.

  • @CroswhiteK the problem is that the "aware" reasonably intelligent portion of the american people have for all practical purposes no say on the way government goes about its business.

    Americans are squandering away the great liberties and rights their forefathers fought for. America is turning socialist and it shows in their auto industry.

  • @CroswhiteK BEST COMMENT EVER

  • @adriano2591 > Hello my friend. The boy racers will never understand quality and design. More good cars for the smart people. By the way I ordered a GLK fully loaded 2 weeks ago and need to wait until mid January to get it. I would say these young fellows are the minority in their opinion. 20% of all Mercedes Sold ... That's a whole lotta cars!

  • The body is sculpted as hell it looks great!

  • I've seen it in person and its ugly and cheap looking. A CRV looks higher quality inside and out. They tried to make it look like a G-wagen or something but they didnt pull it off. The only people who will buy the vehicle are clueless badge snobs.

  • a mans small truck. all the small suv's are femenine, thank god 4 mercedes

  • @Rell09ny every person ie seen driving this car was a woman and i seen a lot of them

  • @Rell09ny uh...srry to break the news to u....mercedes is the BIGGEST femine suv...lol u ever seen sex in the city?

  • @Rell09ny And so is this. This is a TOTAL chick car. They buy it for the looks, not for what it can actually do.

  • Looks JUST like the Toyota Highlander from the back

  • it would make sense to get a Mercedes GLK because its cheaper than an Audi Q5and Audi has a better chance of having problems and Mercedes will last forever, if you take care of a Mercedes it will take care of you

  • this is one ugly mercedes. the first time i've seen an ugly mercedes vehicle. I would expect this from mitsubushi or KIA but not a mercedes

  • its not ugly, its beautiful. and cheaper than Q5. it my opinion it even looks better. and trust me, i test drive both of them and the GLK is awesome and better on the snow

  • dude a merc will never be better than a audi on snow.

  • trust me, its good. very good

  • im gettin GLK 350 since its the only GLK offered here in my state. and its good for 20 years old guy LOL

  • price isn't that bad for a mercedes small SUV..its actually nice

  • Why do you complain about the price....you live in US. Cars are free in your country compared to prices in europe. 34000$ is funny...its amazingly cheap. 34000$ is around 20000 euros....you cant get a VW Golf with 1.4 liter engine for 20000 euros in Europe. Basic GLK costs 38000 euros in my country, and fully equpped like the one in video costs 60000 euros, whichs is over 100000$. Its not fair.... you in US have the highest salaries, and cheapest car and fuel prices. And then you complain... :P

  • actully mercedes here are more expensive! you can buy a house with the money you buy super mercedes

  • I know the prices of mercedes in US. Price in europe are two times higher. You cant buy a golf in europe for the same money that you can mercedes e class in US.

  • fuck you american haters! Go drive your american crap,why do you hate about our cars, are you jealous because you cant afford?

  • u r from switzerland..... mercedes is from germany.... stfu!!!

  • lol ur a siptar refugee what can u afford? so stfu

  • @fuckprizren Why just fuck the American haters? Im sure there are some European haters also. Are you being racist?

  • boxy shape and sharp edge interior design remind me Chrysler and Jeep SUVs.

  • a good review overall.

    But i think this luxury cross over doesn't really fill a market gap, its kinda serving a niche market i guess. Coz even the well-off ppl with a fmaily of 5 memebrs or more would fo for a full size SUV or family vans.

  • Comment removed

  • isn't showing your licence plate ilegal

  • so your checkin out the glk

    try out the ml

    if you have the extra money

  • no, I'm much to young and not in that income bracket. I drive a 2 thousand dollar car from 91 called a CRX. Maybe one day, if this rip off education treats me right.

  • @josher67 ... I already have an ML. Like the GLK better LOL !

  • $50k? I think hes wrong, my dealer had one for $34 and it had everything except for the rear dvds.

  • Comment removed

  • both wrong. at my dealer that particular model is roughly 50K. 46,799.

  • at my dealer the base is 34,500

    with almost fully loaded 59,000

  • Different states I guess different markets. I wonder what it costs in Delaware

  • everything is starting to get more expensive in california

    i bought my fully loaded benz back in 06' for 78,000

  • Well yall CA folks are wealth for some reason. In the midwest (though I dont own one) that cost is kinda staggered at or around 50K

  • haha i was looking through the comments and saw urs!

    i live in Delaware and you way think were not a popular state or have a low market, but if you come down here you will think differently. They still run for the same price and Delaware is growing rapidly. Prices are still the same for this benz. Even though I hate Delaware so much, it still deserves to be recognized as it is a very well developed state economically.

    Just to let you kno lol!

  • Well I know DE has its "no sales tax" thing that applies to non food items, so I just wondered.

  • Is it me or is there something wrong with this video? Thier road testing a 2010 MB and while driving thru the city and the WTC is in the background. Huh

  • Fuck stop with the boxy look already. It looks like shit, but this one wasnt that bad.

  • id think i rather get a tiguan 4-motion witch is the top of line model and its line $35,000 fully loaded :)

  • I think the new CR-V looks better than that!!

  • those 20 inch wheels dont look right.

  • This makes the Infiniti FX look like a bargain

  • $50K? Come on, I'd rather get the ML350 then if I wanted a Mercedes SUV.

  • i would have got an ml350 too

  • too many optionals that should've been standards for $50k.. (optional roof rail... come on..)

  • way overpriced with that kinda equipment no thanks

  • $34,000= no, thanks.

    $50,000= heck no!

    I'd rather have a Honda CR-V AND a Honda Fit instead.

  • retard

  • :( I personally sat in front and in the back and found it very squished... for the base of 30k and with those options that total up the car to 50k, i dunt think its worth it.

  • By far the GLK is better than the X3 and every other car in it's category.

  • i have and x3, and i agree...but i doubt it handles as well as an x3

  • maybe

    but sorry to say the x3 is hella ugly

    i wondered what they did to the 2010 model

  • It looks like MB just said screw the interior. Looks very basic, and dare I say it, almost Chrysler-ish. Not great for the price.

  • the exterior is nice but im not that impressed with the interior! mercedes could have done a better job!!!!

  • Very true! Plus why bother giving it a $34,000 price tag when all you have is sheet-metal, engine, badge and seats?! Basically everyone buying the GLK is ordering one that is beyond $40,000.

  • i looks alot like the new smaller jeeps

  • its not bad but i would just get a E class wagon

  • the interior is horrible

  • it looks cheap :(

  • sorry.. but it's hella ugly - like most mercedes benz =\
