Review Of The New Mercedes GLK 350

There are certain cars that we can tell in one look that they are ordinary and not the best vehicle that we would love to be seen driving inside of. However, there are other vehicles that exude an air of brilliance and the minute you look at it you understand it is the car that you need to be in. One of these vehicles is the new Mercedes-Benz GLK 350.

This is the very first superior compact crossover SUV that Mercedes has ever built. Although the GLK 350 may be a bit more boxy than what we are used to seeing from them it does not disappoint us. The platform for this car was developed on the classic C-class sedan.

Why did Mercedes choose to build an SUV? "We needed a car like the GLK 350," sales representative Mark Leonard said. "It's designed to go head-to-head with the BMW X3 and it is doing a fantastic job."

The SUV was debuted earlier this year and is planned to be a 2010 model version. It has already pulled in a lot of attention due to its different design and the starting price that Mercedes has given it. Many people were expecting to see a high number - but were astonished when the business set it at a low $33,900. This will definitely  be in the running for the inexpensive SUV on the market and might be able to flyover the X3 in price alone.

The GLK is built with a 3.5 liter V6 engine and connected with a seven speed automatic transmission. Together the two work in harmony and allow for a smooth but powerful drive. It is easier then ever to speed up the vehicle and it can reach 60 MPH in only 6.9 seconds.

If you want to pick out the premium packet you will be getting a panorama sunroof, power liftgate, media upgrade packet, heated front seats, and memory settings for mirrors, steering wheel, and the driver’s seat. You will also be given numerous of the more favorite features that include power assist, dual zone automatic climate control, eight CD sound system, and a trip computer. Mercedes also supplied the standard safety features to each model.
