The Mercedes-Benz GLK350 debuted for the 2010 model year in North America as a compact luxury crossover SUV and it was bad. It was really bad. The styling was bizarre with odd proportions, the powertrain was average at best, and the interior was some of the worst garbage Mercedes-Benz ever produced. Pre-molded hard plastic over everything with glossy plastic faux wood joined by vinyl seats that split and peeled if you looked at it the wrong way. Even the infotainment was a massive disappointment with its small screen and bad resolution. This is purely just a post to remind you how bad these things were and to never ever buy one. I hope I’m clear enough.

Take a look at that interior. You couldn’t make it cheaper if you tried. My iPhone is larger than that infotainment screen. Look at the dash. Look at the door panels. I’m surprised they didn’t try to make them all one piece to save production and assembly costs. These things were around $37,000 when they came out and clearly, you got what you paid for when buying a new Mercedes-Benz for $37,000 in 2010.
This example with 144,000 miles is somehow $11,000. Please go buy anything else for $11,000 other than this thing. You’ll be way happier. I promise.

We have a 2013 GLK and love it. Great engine, reliable and actually love the styling.
Our other car is a 2014 Cayenne Turbo S with full leather interior.
We have sold a mess of this generation GLK through our dealership, and we have never had one traded back in or given back to sell on consignment. People love these cars. I don’t understand the hate here. This was designed to be an entry level (read: actually cheap, not “cheap” like the newer 4-cyl GLC) MB product. Do you expect a leather dashboard in a cheap car? Care to explain your gripe with the styling? My main problem is they didn’t offer an AMG of this gen. Huge miss. They should have put the 6.2L V8 in this body–would have been a great little SUV with that motor.
WOW WOW WOW I own a ’15 GLK 250 (oil burner) and I love it . Great low-end torque with great mileage. No different than the other crap being produced today.
Come on man… it DOES have the iPod integration kit package!
Don’t forget
CHROME EXTERIOR TRIM!
Did a GLK touch Andrew in a bad place?
These weren’t terrible entry-level SUVs. I found them to drive quite nicely.
