The 2011 Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class | Chicago, IL 60642
Proof that great engineering
is great at any size.
What drives Mercedes-Benz to combine the race-bred performance of a sport sedan with the legendary capability of their SUVs? The same spirit of innovation that's been part of every Mercedes-Benz since inventing the automobile 125 years ago.
After spending years testing the GLK-Class over 1.5 million miles of punishing terrain, Arctic winters, African desert heat and dense urban jungles, Mercedes-Benz engineers returned with something big. Proof of the idea that even a more compact Mercedes-Benz must measure up in every dimension: Brilliant performance. Advanced safety. Thoughtful technology. Enduring quality. Environmental responsibility. And of course, distinctive design. Courage, boldness and strength of character - that's the definition of the 2011 GLK-Class.
Right for the times, starting with 0-60
The GLK350 may be the smallest Mercedes-Benz SUV, but driving it makes a super-sized impression. Quickly. A 268-hp 3.5-liter V-6 revs eagerly and delivers the torque-rich response you need - anytime you demand it. Twin chrome exhaust tips punctuate a true dual exhaust system, for the free-breathing power to conquer steep hills or hit 60 mph in a mere 6.5 seconds. Standard 19" - or optional 20" - wheels team up with a 4-wheel multi-link suspension with AGILITY CONTROL, an innovation that instantly recalibrate the shock absorbers with every change in the road surface. And unlike some compact SUVs, the GLK delivers the sport-sedan balance of rear-wheel drive or optional 4matic™ all-wheel drive. In the GLK-Class, good times are always in season.
Technology & Entertainment
The GLK-Class may be a ruggedly capable performer, but its cabin is a comforting habitat. From its power front seats, you'll enjoy both a king-of-the-world view and glued-to-the-road handling confidence. Its powerful climate control has been proven in Saharan swelters and polar frosts. Rich materials blend new-age style with old-world craftsmanship. Upholstery is carefully fitted by hand. Polished Burl Walnut wood, chrome and aluminum trim highlight the dashboard and doors. Finely grained leather envelops the steering wheel and gearshift. For an even warmer ambiance, a Full Leather Seating Package enhances the cabin with premium lighting. Sure, you might not be driving to the Serengeti today, but even on a deserted highway, the GLK-Class keeps you cradled in civilization.
The GLK-Class doesn't just make leading-edge entertainment and information technology available, it makes it accessible. Even the most advanced systems operate with intuitive ease. A console-mounted central controller and in-dash color display place a variety of audio and navigation options - including real-time traffic reports - within your natural reach. Elegantly detailed instrumentation reads at a glance through the 3-spoke multifunction steering wheel. And with its expansive windows, automatic headlamps, large heated side mirrors and an optional rear view camera, the GLK-Class helps you feel in touch with the world around you.
Multifunction steering wheel. Conveniently placed buttons let you adjust the audio system, use the Bluetooth® wireless interface, and thumb through the various screens of the multifunction display inside the speedometer face, all without taking your hands off the 4-way adjustable steering wheel.
Navigation with voice control. The optional COMAND navigation system features a high-resolution 7" display, a fast 40GB hard drive, Zagat® Survey ratings for restaurants, hotels and golf courses, and SIRIUS Traffic™ updates. An alternate navigation accessory uses the standard 5" display and includes lifetime traffic assistance, iPod integration and wireless audio streaming.
Surrounded in sound. An optional 11-speaker harman/kardon LOGIC7® system outputs 510 watts of digital surround sound. The optional Multimedia Package offers an enormous array of listening choices, including SIRIUS® Satellite Radio,7 iPod® integration, a 6GB Music Register for uploading MP3 files, plus a 6-DVD/CD changer and memory card reader in the dash.
Parking assists. Two options help you negotiate tight spaces. A rear view camera is part of the Multimedia Package. The optional PARKTRONIC system uses sonar-based sensors in the bumpers and displays inside the cabin to help you detect nearby objects in front of and behind your GLK-Class.
