For every ounce of muscle you can see in the boldly redesigned 2013 GLK- Class, there’s even more strength waiting beneath its surface, and behind its rewarding performance. In

creating this SUV embodiment of a sport sedan’s soul, Mercedes-Benz engineers traveled not just to the far corners of the globe, but to the high banks and hairpin turns of their own

test tracks. The result is a compact SUV with character that far outsizes its exterior dimensions. With responsiveness that outpaces your expectations. And with refinement and style

that simply outshine. You might say that the performance, safety and luxury of a Mercedes-Benz sport sedan are all hiding inside every GLK-Class. But in truth, they’re not hidden at all.

FLEX, AND REFLEX.

Information Provided by:

As with any gifted athlete, success is not achieved from muscle alone.

Of course, as its new Direct Injection V-6 engine aptly demonstrates,

it’s a commanding head start. But within its crisp, upright lines, a GLK

is an exceptionally well- rounded performer. It expertly wields its ample

torque through a 7- speed automatic transmission with sporty shift

paddles. Its standard 19" alloy wheels, AGILITY CONTROL® suspension

and highly rigid body respond to every twist in the road with quick,

precise reflexes. And unlike many SUVs of its size, the GLK’s confident

footwork comes from its naturally balanced rear-wheel drive or the

option of nimble, efficient 4matic® all- wheel drive. Muscle, after all, is

most impressive — and most effective — when you know how to flex it.

GLK 350. An advanced new 302 -hp Direct Injection V- 6 and clever ECO Start/Stop system
convert less gasoline into more power with fewer emissions. Serenaded by the mellow growl
of true dual exhausts, it can return 60 mph in 6.4 seconds,1 or up to 25 highway mpg.

Reveling. A new generation of refinements
makes the 7- speed automatic swifter and
smoother than ever. Adaptive logic paces
the shifting to your driving style. Sport and
ECO modes let you emphasize rpm or mpg
on demand. And a new electronic selector
and shift paddles let you change gears
without taking your hands off the wheel.

Riveting. The tenacity of 4matic all - wheel
drive is a GLK 350 option that adds driving
confidence year- round. Its integral 4 - wheel
Electronic Traction System (4-E TS®) can
continually redistribute the torque to the
wheels with the best grip — even if that’s a
single wheel.3 And with its light weight and
45:55 front/rear torque split, 4matic is
also efficient, sporty and fun on dry roads.

Revitalizing. The GLK’s fully independent
multilink suspension shares more than its
limber configuration with our sport sedans.
It also features our AGILITY CONTROL —
an innovation that responds to the motion
of each wheel. With every change in the
road surface, it instantly recalibrates the
damping rates for quick, athletic handling
while maintaining a calm, composed ride.

Ravishing. The standard 19" triple 5 - spoke
wheels offer ample evidence of the GLK’s
roadholding expertise. Or go even bolder
with either of two 20" wheel options: A
twin 5-spoke design in the Appearance
Package. Or legendary AMG® twin 5-spoke
alloy wheels, set off by the sculpted lower
bodywork of the AMG Styling Package.

REFINED, REFINISHED AND REFINESSED.

NEARLY 1,000 ENHANCEMENTS. COUNTLESS ENTICEMENTS.

The moment you see its emboldened grille, expressive new headlamps and LED taillamps, it’s obvious that the 2013 GLK-Class has undergone a revolution. But you’re only touching

the surface of its extensive reengineering. From its advanced new safety systems to its innovative multimedia technologies, the redesigned GLK is enhanced with nearly 1,000 new

features, components and detail elements. Climb inside its completely renovated cabin, and you might find that touching its surfaces is simply irresistible. A wide span of sustainably

forested, hand- polished Burl Walnut wood sweeps across its new dash. And exquisitely crafted metal trim encircles its air vents and highlights its colorful three - dimensional gauges.

But don’t just take in its commanding view and elegant new controls. Take it out, and open it up. What you’ll feel is exactly what the GLK’s engineers intended: 1,000 times better.

Entrancing. At once smoother and more
muscular, the GLK’s bold design sports
brilliant new elements. From the intriguing
details of its LED lighting to the chrome
accents of its new front and rear bumpers,
its upright shape is anything but uptight.

Advancing. Behind the alluring style of
its new cabin awaits a bevy of useful and
user-friendly new technology. Intuitive
controls on the console and the sporty
3-spoke steering wheel team with vivid
color displays in the dash. A wide world of
entertainment and navigation options, as
well as the convenience of the Internet in
your vehicle,4 can all be within your reach.

Ensconcing. While you bask in the richer
materials and colors of its luxurious cabin,
you can also take in blue skies or a blanket
of stars with the optional Panorama roof.
Its vast expanse of heat -resistant tinted
glass offers majestic vistas to all five GLK
passengers. The power tilt/sliding front
section and power sunshade allow you to
choose breezy, scenic or cozy as you wish.

Enhancing. From their distinctive wheels
to their brushed aluminum roof rails, the
AMG Styling Package and the Appearance
Package let you pump up the GLK’s visual
muscle while boosting its sporty versatility.
Optional brushed aluminum running boards
further underscore its purposeful design.
