Especially with the AMG Styling Package, a much bolder face than the 2010-2012 GLK. AMG Styling Package also includes sportier wheels, though with the same size tires (235/50HR19).
Overly rectilinear, or a welcome departure from the aero norm? A GLK without the $1,990 AMG Styling Package.
The Q5 is much rounder. Unlike the 2.0T but like the 3.0T, TDI comes standard with 235/55HR19 tires. Tall, boxy, truncated tail still says Subaru to me.
New LED tail light assemblies. Compared to the 2010-2012 GLK, more wood, more chrome, more curves, better materials.
Tested car fitted with special order black ash wood trim. The standard timber is a brown burl walnut The Audi is also curvier on the inside. But colder partly owing to less wood and less chrome trim.
Instruments illegible at dusk. HVAC controls hard to adjust at a glance due to location. Seats are typical firm, flat Mercedes issue.
Adults can fit in the GLK's back seat, but with little knee room to spare. Nicely finished cargo area.
Less cargo room than most compact crossovers, but more than enough 99 percent of the time. Though only a 2.1-liter four-cylinder, the GLK250's diesel engine can produce 369 lb-ft of torque.
