There are certain cars that tell us in one look that they are average and not the best car that we would desire to be seen driving in. But there are other vehicles that ooze an air of splendor and the instant you peek at it you understand it is the car that you have alwayd dreamed of. One of these vehicles is the brand Mercedes-Benz GLK 350.
This is the first premium compact crossover SUV that Mercedes-Benz has ever produced. Though the GLK 350 may be a bit more solid than what we are used to seeing from them it does not disappoint us. The platform for this SUV was built on the standard C-class sedan.
So why did Mercedes choose to construct 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 first debuted earlier this year and is planned to be a 2010 model version. It has already gathered much media attention because of its unique design and the starting price that Mercedes-Benz has set for it. Many people were expecting to see a high number - but were surprised when the business set it at a low $33,900. This will most definitely be in the running for the affordable SUV on the market and may be able to overpass the X3 in price alone.
The GLK is outfitted with a 3.5 liter V6 engine and joined with a seven speed automatic transmission. Together the two work in harmony and allow for a smooth but powerful drive. It is simpler then before to speed up the car and it has the ability to reach 60 MPH in only 6.9 seconds.
If you wish to choose the premium packet you will be given a panorama sunroof, power liftgate, media upgrade package, 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 characteristics 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 every model.
