2010 Mercedes-Benz GLK 350

There's nothing like getting a jump on the opposition. Increasingly, manufacturers are introducing new models well before the date of sale, and Mercedes is no exception, taking the wraps off its new compact SUV, the GLK 2010 350, at least a year before everyone else.

With younger buyers in mind, the GLK 350 is aimed at a completely different customer base, according to Miki Velemirovich, product development manager Mercedes-Benz Spain. "We are targeting young professionals who are fully aware and have an active lifestyle," he said at the launch of Victoria. "There is also a high proportion of women drivers in this group" Only -. home the point and demonstrate the value of – er placement products, the GLK 350 is the ride of choice for Carrie Bradshaw and the girls in the recent Sex and the movie "City. According to Mercedes, which is an" accessory must have "fashion in New York girls (who have healthy bank accounts.)

With full-time 4Matic Mercedes four-wheel drive as a team standard, the GLK 350 is powered by a 3.5-liter V6 engine that develops some 268 horsepower. That's about par with a V6 engine of this displacement and the motor is used elsewhere in the Mercedes sedan line-up …. the M-Class SUV and the class E, for example. It is the only option and is mated to an automatic transmission seven-speed manual shift function. Again, no other options here. There is an overwhelming drive train, this combination is well suited to this size of SUV and returns decent – but not exceptional – fuel economy: 13.3 liters per 100 kilometers from the city and 9.6 on the road.

Y a word about the 4WD system. In short, it is Mercedes take the tried and true "slip and grip" set-up. In panel monitors wheel slippage sense and / or loss of traction, while reducing power to the wheel (s) in question, as the pair re-direct to another corner where the power will do the greater good. This is the fourth generation of Mercedes' 4Matic system and used throughout the model range. Although few buyers will really test this system its limit, is one of the most useful 4WD systems on the market. Carrie, Samantha and the girls are not likely to take the GLK 350 swamp wallowing, but it may hold their own when things get slippery. During the launch, Mercedes actually rented a motocross track bikes for us to use to put through its paces GLK and, despite standing water 60 inches deep, gnarly moguls and mud with the consistency of gelatin, which is defended very well.

But this is mainly a compact luxury SUV, with plenty modcons, and an extensive list of standard equipment. Heated front seats, power tilt / telescoping steering, cruise control, climate control system, and Bluetooth connectivity are included in the MSRP just under $ 42,000, and you can order things like a rear view camera ($ 450), the interface of media with iPod, USB connections and services ($ 375), DVD entertainment system for the seats ($ 2,400) and a navigation ($ 1800). Interestingly, you can choose between genuine leather, or called "man" Artico synthetic leather fabric. And it was good see that Mercedes has decided to go with a conventional floor shift, instead of the shifter button rather silly in use in some of its other models.

Despite a comparatively rough ride, the GLK 350 is a pleasure to drive. You can choose from 19 inch or 20 inch wheels and tires and new suspension comes with Mercedes' agility tuning control. In short, it automatically adjusts the suspension to suit driving conditions. For around town cruising and off-road situations, which makes up the buffer and provides a less harsh ride over suspension travel at high speed when the system becomes hard to deal curves and sharp turning maneuvers. All things considered, taking into account the buyer is directed, it is likely that you will stay in "soft" mode for most of the time.

Other features that come with the GLK 350 includes split-folding rear seats, revealing 1,549 liters of storage space with all seats folded flat, a full range of safety equipment, including four-wheel antilock disc brakes, front and side curtain airbags, and a unique emergency braking system which automatically increases brake pressure during a panic stop to, hopefully, shorten the stopping distance and avoid crashing into things they should not be there. Mercedes' is proud of its safety record, and it is no exaggeration to say that the new GLK 350 will probably be one of the safest car in this class, when it's released this January.

There may also be a diesel engine in the future, but not in the short term, according to Miki Velemirovich. Mercedes Bluetec unit is "in development" at this time for the GLK 350, and says that his company is "pushing like mad" for diesel engine available in North America.
