Mercedes-Benz’ compact luxury SUV enters its sophomore year with few changes. It still comes with a 268-hp 3.5-liter V6, seven speed automatic transmission and 4MATIC all-wheel drive standard. The exterior design mixes old Subaru Forester with big-brother GL-Class with mixed success. The GLK is very colour sensitive. The interior follows the themes set by the C-Class, meaning dark plastics and leathers with a squared-off look. Rear seats are tighter than you’d imagine, but cargo area is generous.

 

Pros

On-road oriented SUV

Cons

Not the prettiest
