Mercedes GLK - New Mercedes Suv

2009 Mercedes GLK will be on the road in August 2008. The name GLK means basically "short version of GL" as K is a diminutive of the German "kurz," meaning short. The GLK is using technical components from the all-new Mercedes C-class, and it will keep very close in design to the recently launched GL-Class. The small SUV, which is Mercedes’ answer to the BMW X3, Volvo XC60 and the upcoming Volkswagen Tiguan will measure 4.50 meters long and will be based on the platform of the C-Class (much like the X3 which is based on the 3-Series platform).

Power is expected to come from four and six cylinder engines, both gasoline and diesel. A more powerful V8 AMG model could be offered later. Mercedes will offer the crossover in both rear-wheel drive and 4Matic all-wheel drive versions, with the GLK 220 CDI as the base rear-wheel drive version and the GLK 280 as a gas alternative. The all-wheel drive versions - the only models expected for the United States - will be the GLK 350 with 272 bhp and the GLK 320 CDI with 224 bhp. All versions are expected to have the 7G-Tronic, TouchShift automatic transmission.

The Mercedes GLK will have a trunk space of 450 liters along with a tank size of 80 liters. The car is expected to be priced around 36,000 euros. These images here are probably renderings that closely resemble the GLK.
