From June 2013 the GLK range will, for the first time, feature a four-cylinder petrol engine.

This high-tech direct injection 2.0-litre unit offers output of 155 kW (211 hp) and torque of 350 newton metres. The GLK 250 4MATIC accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.9 seconds and can reach a top speed of 215 km/h. In doing so, the new model boasts an NEDC combined fuel consumption of just 7.7 to 7.5 litres of unleaded petrol per 100 kilometres (180-176 g CO₂/km).

With effect from the new model year, the seven-speed 7G-TRONIC PLUS automatic transmission in the GLK, when in “M” mode, will feature a digital gear indicator with gearshift recommendation in the instrument cluster as a way of helping the driver to drive as economically as possible.
At the same time as the GLK, all M-Class, GL-Class and G-Class models will also be fitted with the latest generation of infotainment systems with extended functionality.
