The Mercedes-Benz roots are never very far from the surface in the GLK, even though it's a smaller, entry-level crossover ute. Far from spartan, the GLK has almost all of the luxury features you'll find in the bigger M Class and GL Class utes.
Every GLK comes with a comprehensive set of standard features. They include dual-zone climate control; Bluetooth and iPod connectivity; power front seats; 19-inch wheels; and a panoramic sunroof.
A six-CD changer, Sirius Satellite Radio; a rear-seat, twin-screen DVD entertainment system; a power liftgate; a navigation system; bi-xenon headlamps with washers; LED taillights; and 20-inch wheels are among the options. Leather upholstery is an option, too, but we doubt you'll ever see a vinyl-spec GLK at your local dealer.
Mercedes-Benz has been a tech pioneer for quite some time in the automotive industry, combining cutting-edge features with an impeccable luxury finish. In addition to a set of controls and displays that also bring the feeling you're in a luxury vehicle, the twin sunroof design lets a lot of light in and the high-end Harman/Kardon audio system has awesome sound and the ability to connect to an iPod and USB stick at the same time.
Conclusion
Connectivity and luxury are in ample supply inside the Mercedes-Benz GLK.
