2010-2012 Mercedes-Benz GLK review | Consumer Reports

- Despite lots of features and plenty of power, the Mercedes-Benz GLK falls short of the best small luxury SUVs. Access is difficult and the controls are complicated. Watch more luxury SUV videos: bit.ly/14Vr6uS

That box in the trunk made me buy the car! And the GLK didn't disappoint me either!!
I am 6 foot and have no problem getting the rear of our 2011...Handling is really good in my opinion as well. Overall I am really impressed with my 2011
These are nice little SUV’s .Don’t listen to all the negative reviews.
I own one of these... and even in the first minute i know what he says is absolute garbage
Nick totally agreed. I LOVE my GLK favorite car
I actually drive this car quite often (my family owns one) and this guy is wrong about the way the car drives. The stability control is great and the steering actually feels tight and connected giving me a lot of confidence while driving it. Everything that he said about the second row seat, however, is true as well as the cargo area
People dont buy mercedes benz for fuel economy
It's funny, I drove this, the Q5, the Volvo XC60 T6, and X5 i35. All these used in the 2010 to 2014 vintage. We bought this over the others. The steering feel was not numb but not darty. This is a preference for long drives. She's coming from a Saab 9-2X Aero, which had an STI rack. My wife said she liked it over the Volvo in particular which she felt was vague and loose. The ride was more supple than the Q5 which is car-like. I also don't like the Audi open differentials on these as they're designed to go off-road at times. That being the case, as soon as one wheel is in the air, the AWD send all power to that wheel and your stuck, (I own Audi and have had 8 others). The BMW simply had to many long term reliability issues. The Merc was the best balance of what we liked and certainly has the best styling of the group. Also, I'd like to point out my 3 year old gets in and out of his car seat on his own no problem. At the end of the day, I think most people understand this is an entry level offering from MB. You don't get the real MB quality until you step it up but it's still a lot more than any of the Japanese, Korean and Americans offer in the compact SUV market.
LOVE my 2011 GLK350, it's a dream!
I am trying to decide whether I should get a 2012 with 115,000 but a 2WD only and they was nearly 15k. Is your vehicle still holding up?
The 2011 GLK 350 is a great crossover, we have had no repairs other than maintenance. My new 2007 vw gti was at the dealership every week for years for repairs.
If you buy a GLK, obviously you're not going to need large cargo space or carry a bunch of passengers...that's what the ML and GL are for....consumerreports is........
firstlast673 is....bull.
One of the best riding vehicles I have ever owned
If you need to carry people around or a lot of cargo room, you buy an M-Class...
Obviously the controls are spread out, what else would you like them to put on the CONTROL unit? And the handling of this car is just like every other Merc. I've driven the C, M, and GLK classes, and driving was the same across the board. Don't listen to this fool, the car is excellent.
why was this filmed on a camera from the 90s
Haters be hating! The feel of the drive is insane. Lol. I don’t know if this guy ever drove a car before but it definitely feels like a german cars handling.
omg that box is soo cool!
Well I love my glk!!
what did you do about the lack of aux. and the bluetooth that you can't play music over
@@heavensmas5314 Look in the center console.
we have this and we love it! fast and surpisingly well offroad
I want to buy a CPO 2013. I live in Philly with lots of snow
Mike McGraw agreed
@@Norcalw204 how’s the reliability on them?
You're ALWAYS going to have Mercedes-Benz haters....I love mine.
I own a glk, and before that I owned some other mercs ( a c-klass, an e-class...). And his comment about the ride quality is bullshit. The car handles really well!. I own the car for about 8months now, and i can already say that this is the best mercedes I've ever had
I have the newly redesigned 2013 and am completely happy with it. Im 5'9 and have no problem fitting at the back seat (after adjusting the front driver seat for myself). Performance and handling is A+. If you want sports handling wrapped in luxury and not too big of an SUV; this is the car for you. My only complain is that rear cup holders are only available if theres only two passengers at the back. I have three kids so the rear fold down cupholders from the back rest is not available.
GLK350 was a best seller!
Rich people don't ever carpool other adults... They only drive their kids so the small room makes sense.
ITS ALL ABOUT THE BADGE, lol. We want that badge more than the actually car.
Yes!
WOW, so many people harshing on the reviewer. All he does is tell you facts and observations. Seating IS tight in the rear, it IS peppy. He tells you how the steering feels. Boy, what a bunch of critics because he says the truth on what he's experiencing and letting people know. I, for one, really appreciated this review an it has saved me time from looking at one for several reasons. Nice job!!
When the car reviver says that MB is most famous for its C and E class cars, you know he is not very good at what he does.
Dude no disrespect but I don’t know what the F are you talking about.my pregnant wife just had a accident with semi truck and they had to cut the car to get her out and not a scratch on her.we loved our GLK and as soon as we get the Insurance money we will get a glk again. Safety is what important.i think you took this little to far.this is a size a Toyota RAV4 but 1000 time better.
i have a 2007 ML-350 and i also love the way it rides.
It's very cushy and the seats are VERY soft.
do a 2013 with the more up to date engine
I'm thinking about buying GLK 220 CDI... I think it's a great car.
I just got my 2012 GLK but i am didn't get how to play music in it from my phone via bluetooth and AUX, can someone pls put me through. Thanks
in the glove box, there is an MMI connector that usually split into an aux or "old school" 30o pin iPod connector
This man called the box over engineered 😂
I never understand why some reviewers describe some Mercedes as over engineered.
@ioannalav No its not
@Drive571 And what do you drive? A toyota?
He appears to feel strongly both ways on everything he says.
Consumer report has always been a negative report..
not really, i have a family of 5 , and i just bought it
He should had been testing the sports version:) Much better to drive on the track:)
Lomngtme owner of mant Mercedes benz... I have this GLK.... its a great car for the money.
I am not sure what to make of this review. He says critics the interior devices as "odd" or "complicated", yet uses it with ease. How is the stereo all over the place? All the dials situated like any other stereo. he also calls something over engineered but then also implies it is neat - The basket in the back is engineered to create space and save storage - How can this perceived as a disadvantage? It saves space and folds closed so it can be tucked away. The problem is these reviews are too subjective. Instead of these reviews should be based on a standardized list of rating areas based on its competitive set - not his personal preference. If he was 4 inches shorter, he would of been telling viewers, "its roomy in the back". I'm an adult and find that it is roomy in the back.
deyo1013 it is.. If I wasn't sitting in mines now I probably wouldn't have got what he was saying.. Great car but she doesn't hug the road.. IM THE YOUNG BLACK FEMALE DALE E. (RACE CAR DRIVER)
His hand gestures are distracting.
How to open GPS
@ioannalav yes you are right!!
This guy is giving almost the same review another consumer report driver did to the Volvo XC60. You cannot compare this small suv over a larger one.
@scaremenga wow, that's sad. I always thought that everything in the Lexus was more ergonomic.
It's obvious this guy doesn't like mercedes
While he is annoying,..he's not an idiot. I went to test drive an off-lease GLK (and other M-Bs) yesterday, and most of what he said is true.
I'm 6'3(192cm) and while the drivers position is really great, there is almost NO legroom for anyone behind me. The reviewer UNDERESTIMATED the strange, disconnected steering. The steering is super light and with almost zero feedback.
Yet the new C250's steering was rather well sorted. It makes me think that the GLK was a "money grab" by M-B.
I agree with Z971...this report is totally bullshit!!
There is no complain for any car of what Merc do!!
GLK is the best SUV in its class!!
and every Benz has the UNIQUE or has he says "SPECIAL" driving pleasure!!
Thanks
this is an suv so i dont know why he expects it to handle like a c or e class sedan, if you look at the specs posted on consumer reports the emergency handling is 53mph which i think is pretty good for an suv...once again this isnt a sedan, i dont think this guy realizes that
Okay, seriously, love how the highest rated comments are calling this guy an idiot, he's a specialist for vehicle and reviews who works for consumer reports, which I'd always trust.
I really don't find any of the comments left radical, a mercedes is a mercedes but certainly does NOT mean the vehicle is perfect!!!
(gave your comment a thumbs up Drive571, didn't know that!! :)
The reviews from consumer repots sucks!
This guy said not that special. Lol just like your wife buddy
@MrBritdog2 If there's only one person in this car then why would you buy it over a C-class? It's more fuel efficient.
@olverafam shut up this is the best suv germany makes the best cars on the world im living in germany!!!
what the fuck is this guy driving. is he in sport mode ???
he cant drive worth of shit
bullshit !
i have glk, it is wonderful car !
Yeah, we have 2010, wife love it, her commuter/run around car, it's a women's car/suv if you ask me, maintenance is expensive as like any MB, RX350 is better choice.
this guy should stick with ford or similar
yea doesnt seem like this is worth getting, then again, people like benz.
Lol... if some of you only knew.
This car was built to cater to fashionable and self-conscious upper-middle-class DINKs, and many commenters here are playing right to the stereotype. This is pretty much a tall, flashy C-Class wagon in a pretty, designer-brand package that rides and handles like crap.
I'd love to know what it does "great" besides being a new SUV with a three-pointed star up front.
Don't worry, they'll sell heaps of them, but that doesn't make it any good at any one thing.
After owning a few mercedes.i quickly realized they are no better than 95% of other suv.not even real leather,cheap interior,not very reliable, not great driving.also not many standard features.i find the MDX or even rdx to be better.but at least it is a mercedes!
@leroyhatcher Wow, it is fast in a straight line but to be honest I couldn't feel anything through the steering wheel. And I'm not the only one to say this. And also I don't really like the dash, seems plain and ugly.
@motoandroid3 Please learn to translate English properly before mouthing off to someone.
This vehicle truly made me sad. I had such high hopes for it. Did not want to pay the (overpriced) price of one new, so did not even bother to look at a new 2011 model. Now in late 2015, I found one for les than HALF it's original sticker price with only 46,000 miles on it. So I went for a test drive. Showing up at the dealership in my not too old Benz S500 (also bought used!) they knew I was serious. I was. WAS. Within 5 min. of the initial looking over I seen right away that my wife's Volvo XC90 blew this little Benz out of the water. Sure, the GLK LOOKS better on the outside. But this thing felt CRAMPED inside. And I am only 5' 11". Never the less, I still wanted to drive it. So I did. And again, the driving dynamics of my wife's XC90 is far superior to the GLK. I was in disbelief. OH, and our XC90, is a 2006 model! What the HECK was Benz thinking !!!! Needless to say, our Volvo will remain in the garage a few more years till the 2016 XC90's come off of lease. Was NOT impressed with the new GLC either. :-/ But LOVE my S500 !
COYOTE ADVENTURES XC90 is not in the same class as the glk, xc90 is in the same league as the M-class or gle as it's called now. The glk is in the class as the Volvo XC60
Izi E he's an idiot! Let him drive it's Geely. It's like comparing c class with e class, of course is not the same thing!
terrible vehicle
This is a 2010
well to me, they no wut they r talkin bout..
ofcourse u prob have dis car n its understandable being bitchy lol
but they did a great job, plus dat car look ugly too
plus, their advice.. no wayy im gettin dat car
hater.. mercedes SUCKS, specially this model
GOOD REVIEW CR!
Gross
crap car, I rather buy a highlander, more space and more comfortable and cheaper too.
95thRiflesOCI Wow, multiple useless comments? #worthlessidiot
This car is soooooooo horrible!!! Hate it!!!!!!!
So you pay 40k + for a small SUV that has very crappy utility, the same interior room of a Mazda cx5. Not sure if srs but only idiots will buy this.
95thRiflesOCI totally wrong. The utility is one of the best attributes. Benzes are a great ride and I love my GLK. IM 6'4" with no kids to throw in the rear. This baby is all mine and it's so fun.
95thRiflesOCI it's also got way more headroom than a cx5 along with very desirable bells and whistles that are well worth the sticker.
