I love the GLK in every way :)
I just bought one 🤧🤫
GLK ALL THE WAY!!!
Absolutely love the show. There are almost no quality shows left in Canada and the US that are as meticulous, enjoyable and informative as yours.
Seb S Thanks, really appreciate that! We ll try to do more comparison tests in future as well
At the limit, GLK behaves more refined than the X3, therefore the best by far.
I love the Mercedes. The design of it is timeless. I can’t believe that they stopped making that car and started with that terrible GLC cars.
Time will tell. I don’t think those will be successful for MB.
Looks like you were wrong. The GLC is doing extremely well.
@@ClaireYunFarronXIII no. lower jd power score
I had e190, CLK 550- cabrio, ML320 and 2015 GLK 350 4matic , so far I like the GLK the most! I like it for the compact size, yet so much room, visibility, quite engine, interior- classy style and the body shape. Every other car on the street looks alike, all very similar just different name on it ! GLK has a unique look, it's compact car looking like a sexy massive tank ! No it's not family car, if you have kids get ML or GLS, but if you want to downsize and still want to drive roomy enough and very reliable, good looking car - get GLK !
new one would be GLB: ua-cam.com/video/SbubILiPWPI/v-deo.html
I really like how you guys analyze each material and surface of a car a lot better than other channels
Josh Williams Thank you very much Josh, we really appreciate your feedback
Great reviews- you are the best-greedings from beautifull Greece!!!
love your reviews
I must say Thomas & Thomas are excellent reviewers !
Your grasp of the English language is superb with presenting skills to match.
Keep up the good work.
+Paul Jennings thanks Paul, we really appreciate that!
lol
your making me laugh
I was under the impression that the GLK 250 BlueTec diesel ( realize there are two Euro models > 250 Efficiency and Bluetec 250) actually returned 5.4/5.6 highway driving and that Mercedes was underestimating there newer 4 cylinder diesel turbocharged engine. That places it in the Honda Prius category for North American MPG / L per 100km which is simply amazing for such a heavy and small SUV/Car. I like your reviews as they deal with the fun side (engine speeds/car feel) and the practical side (storage/family needs) where most reviews forget we have families and need our vehicles for moved stuff every day. Thanks/ Danke
Thank you for the great review. I just bought a GLK250 diesel yesterday because I much prefer the classic lines (with a subtle hint of G-Wagen envy). Also, if you remove the rear luggage cover and stand smaller luggage vertically, you will have lots of room in the back even though the vehicle is shorter in length.
Garth Zoller Thanks for your feedback! I think so too, I prefer the classic lines :)
How long you had it was reliable?
Bravo, a great channel.
As a former owner of both, still say MB rules. Pure refined POWER 💪

I'm drooling over the GLK. Test drove one, it was wonderful. It's both modern looking yet old school ("boxy" design, circular air vents, "analog" looking radio display). That's a match to my personality. Too bad it isn't a wee bit bigger, just a few inches would make a big difference. Also too bad they aren't made any more. I'm seriously thinking of picking one up this summer - for now I still need my truck.
I just bought a GLK 350. The 2015 model, well kept and low mileage. WOW! I am in love with it! Super fun to drive, lots of power in a small package and feels very SOLID. So glad I chose it.
@@mikeespada9220 Two weeks ago I bought a 2014 GLK 4Matic. Not a bargain, but surely the freshest one out there. With 12,400 miles, it drives like a new car, though it's actually a barely used old car.
@@wheatridger Wow! Lucky! Only 12k miles on it?! Amazing. Congrats! I am still in love with mine. I hope you get as much fun and joy out of it as I have.
Lastly, I really hope MB brings back some more boxy designs in the future. I still can't get into the design language of the new MB SUVs.
Great review thank you, an updated version would be good!
Great comparison, thanks. I specially like that you included the Nissan as another option. By the way, in my country the Nissan comes with comfort access tailgate = you just wave your hand below the handle and it opens, great feature. Subscribed to your channel.
Mauricio Bonneff Thanks Mauricio, always great to have more people appreciating what we do. Love to see you commenting at our next videos.
As usual Thomas, you mention good insights in your reviews that others do not. I agree that the X3 has a higher more commanding seating position compared to other SUVs in its class.
Great unbiased review. I always enjoy your videos. I picked up a GLK 350 last year. Very distinctive among a sea of jellybean SUVs. The Japanese models are good, but cheesy and generic. Very dull to drive. The Mercedes just has that heavy, solid, quality feel and everything about it feels effortless (handling, acceleration, switchgear, etc). Prefer comfort over sport in an SUV. ;)
The new GLC is very nice, but less distinctive, and the turbo 4 just doesn't feel or sound as special.
thanks Tim! And I still think the GLK is very nice, actually I did like it better than the GLC as well :)
My personal experience with both European and Japanese vehicles, is that the Japanese cars are always far more reliable than the European ones. I would rather have a car I can drive, instead of it being under repair for 3 or 4 months of the year.
@@SdkFrnk
While I’ve had good luck with Mercedes products, when they break, they BREAK! So I agree the Japanese vehicles are more dependable and cheaper to own overall.
I pick GLK 350 much better than any other SUV
Nyiaj Vaj Moua I hate how little the trunk is
Thanks for the review
jJose Ignacio de los Heros Ugarte you're welcome!
it was a very comprehensive review, I missed one point that I want to know that which car one of them is more safe?
Late to the party, I just bought a well-kept, dealer owned GLK 350 4-matic with low miles. Love it. (gasoline version 3.5L) Runs great, but will it stand the test of time? We'll see. I really liked the visual appeal of the GLK because I see so many BMW-X models here (and I find them overpriced for how common they are). The Benz is so classy, sharp and somehow sinister in appearance. I only drive about 2000 miles per year, so fuel consumption doesn't matter. Hopefully, the build quality will give it enough reliability to forgive the price of common maintenance. Thanks for a quality video, Thomas(s).
Thanks and enjoy 😊
I just bought a GLK 350 as well. A 2015, well kept and low mileage. WOW! I am in love with it! Super fun to drive, lots of power in a small package and feels very SOLID. So glad I chose it.
@@mikeespada9220 Now I gotta sell my fuckin sweet GLK because Mike fuckin Espada bought one.
Watching years later bc in the market for a 2014 LCI X3… great job guys!
🙌🙌
Awesome comparison! 😎 My favourite is the GLK. Cheers, Thomas and Thomas. 😂
🤘
BMW X3 for me and I already have one , excellent and very practical , and also super reliable.
Very entertaining. 👏👏
I currently own the 2015 GLK350 and will not trade it for none of the other two.
What year, how many miles do you have and what issues have you had?
@@ToOpen6seven 2015 with 95k miles, no issues whatsoever. I'm following the dealer's maintenance schedule.
I love the blue BMW X3, awesome . Thanks for the video. It Is a great luxury car even in 2019.
Liked your reviews a lot, subscribed ;-D
I personally like X3 F25 LCI (with M Sport Package) among the 3.
+Terry Wang great to have you as a new fan!
Extremely thorough comparison test! I was cross shopping the GLK and X3 and this video really lead me to go with the X3.
Judson Vandine thanks !
always a nice show.
A bit silly to say that the straight design of the mercedes is due to his age.
I rather a classic conservative 4WD design.
Arnd san Thanks! Well I meant that by that - I didnt rate it, caus for me personally, indeed I prefer that design over the round one :)
Thanks for the review, of the three BMW the Best looking , but for the Price Nissan ,with resell value its harder to judge !
Thanks
Joe
TechExplorer Hey Joe, thanks for your feedback - I agree!
Love GLK is the best design and confortable ride
Another excellent car show. Well done Autogefühl.
Maybe Autogefuhl should have a "Ich liebe Autogefühl" car-stickers for sale? :D
I have subscribed.
Is it legal to play with your electronics in the car when the ignition is on? It's not in Ontario, Canada ;)
Thanks for the video - helped me find this huge compartment in the trunk of my GLK which I didn't even know was there.
BTW: I love my GLK and it does come with a automatic hatch
Stefanie Z. great, thanks also for watching :)
No mention of all wheel drive capability?
Because Nissan Win. 😉
Love that Blue X3
in MB they call it elegance not old! pls. btw nice video
Interesting review; GLK-Class doesn't meet all on appearance, on driving everyone agrees!
That's why "mature" Thomas is in a very good shape: the bicycle in the luggage! :-)
Riccardo
Riccardo Canevisio haha yes =)
sooo, Nissan X-Trail is just the same as Nissan Qashqai... the only one difference is 3d row seats?
John Doe Indeed there isnt too much difference ..
The GLK definitely the winner here
BMW is good
Nissan can’t compete whit these models since it’s more mainstream but it looks nice maybe you shall have had the infinity their luxurious brand from Nissan
can you do an updated review of this video for 2016 please, because these cars have all changed for that year.
+Wildhoney hey, only the GLC has changed, see here: ua-cam.com/video/n0MmxBt5WoU/v-deo.html
ok thanks
Seeing that in my country, New Zealand, the German 5 seater SUV's start at at least $90,000 base, the prices of the Japanese 5 Seater SUV's start at around $40,000 base. That obviously makes the price gap more than twice as much (also happens for other car segments) and for us New Zealanders, we don't think you get twice as much car for the money. And that's even before considering insurance and maintenance.
Zachary Ong Thanks for the feedback, always interesting to hear the market differences. That's really an astonishing gap. Do you know why this is the case? It cannot be only the longer transport ways. With this difference, indeed it does not pay off.
***** No idea. I think New Zealand models are higher speced base but come on... Oh and with a mediam salary of low $30k's there's no hope in life a normal New Zealand is going to afford one, not even the upper-middle class.
Zachary Ong really a crazy price. Maybe there are different taxes for the products from different countries.
***** In New Zealand we have a GST (like the UK's VAT) of 15% but the GST is normally included in pricings for everything unless it says it doesn't. It's even cheaper to import cars from the UK especially expensive/super cars than in here!
I am also from NZ and have just bought a new X-Trail because of it's versatility and space for my family of 3 children and a dog. I'm happy with my choice. The German premium brands of BMW, MB & Audi are expensive as they are promoted as prestige products and they can make higher per-unit profits on lower volume and high spec. VW is however relatively competitively priced. Of course depreciation is bad, after 12yrs they will have lost 80-90% of their value due to expensive spares and competition from used German vehicles from Japan.
The BMW by a mile; great handling, good economy. Just a good looking performer!,
RIP GLK.. best boxy design sadly missing nowadays
I am trying to find me a used one so bad, using the excuse that it will be a second car for my son, but in reality I want to drive it too, lol :-)
@@ToOpen6seven good luck! I actually sold it after a month with only 7,000 miles on the clock (bought with 5k miles). It's not as practical as I thought and the tech leaves much to be desired. There's other great SUV's..Volvo x40, Ford Bronco Sport, Subaru Wilderness Outback, Jeeps, etc.
I'm torn between the X3 and GLK, thanks for the review!
+Drivers of Los Angeles appreciated! GLK is still a good car, even if GLC is out now
Drivers of Los Angeles, trust me BMW X3 is better by a long shot in driving and cutting edge technology
Drivers of Los Angeles owned both, GLK RULES!
why do you say that ? interesting opinion to read.
Pd: my wife has a glk diesel and she is petty happy. She learned to drive almost thanks to agility and cause is so easy to drive.
people like to review a top car another well known car name like the Mazda and BMW. its nice that you guys were able to add the Nissan to the review which show that other cars are not as good to the other ones but will bring something new to the table like the 360 al round view.
Othabiseng Modise Thanks for your feedback!
I'm having such a hard time following this without thinking you're going to start making Vampire references. I have to go watch What We Do in the Shadows now.
Mercedes GLK ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
10:16 to 10:18 got a little bit of spray there haha!
Americans prefer the angular design also. BMW's are highly desired here for their looks. More in the past than recently, perhaps.
Bruno TaTa I do that, too!
you should test all-new GLC in 2015 and then compare it to X3,Q5,XC60(all-new).
John Doe Sure we will try as soon as it is available. Will take some more month until release though, nothing official yet.
oK, Autofurer, I had both the BMW and GLK and like the GLK better. That Nissan is not even in the same ballpark!
Why did you like the GLK better? What year is the one you drove?
I Love the BMW X3, 3-litre diesel engine and lots of power on it is a luxury car act very good in high way and the consumption is low compared to the size of the engine.
i wish we Canadians also get rear fog lights..i think only germans and volvo have them and even then its optional ..
Also i think you guys should do a nighttime interior/exterior video . because some of the cars have really nice colours at night..
lexusfan100 Really? Shouldnt they be even more important in Canada as you have vast countryside roads ?
***** ya i know ..we also have really bad winter. these auto makers are crazy..lol. or maybe it cost more for location, bulb, wiring button etc.so they proly ignored it
lexusfan100 really strange!
Have a look at the uk market bmw s compare them with what you get in Europe then you can see what I'm on about
GLK
thanks.
you did well.but you didnt mention about fuel economy.
what ever I believe mercedes benz is always best.
best quality.best egineering.
long motor life.
Hemen Kareamg pppp
Hemen Kareamg jloo
I have to say the Nissan. But in the 1.3 DCT Petrol. Looks pretty solid and efficient. Nobody reviews this model I don't understand why.
Glk by far is my favorite all around- bmw is also nice, nisan - wouldnt even consider it.
Have you seen our review of the new GLB? ua-cam.com/video/SbubILiPWPI/v-deo.html
M3 is The Best but for value Nissan more reasonable, I choose Nissan
BMW for styling. Mercedes for elegance. Nissan for its roughability.
I agree with Thomas for all around versatility and reliability I too would choose the Nissan X trail. You’d need big pockets for that BMW and Mercedes when they start giving trouble after five years. I had a BMW X5 the money i pumped into it when it was six years old was criminal. Fuck’n heap of shit never again would i buy one.
Best suv for travelling and mountain roads is nissan xtrail.
Good work x2 Thomas 🤝
:)
You can't compare the expensive and luxury cars from germany with the middle class car nissan x-trail! Thats not okay!
Their channel, their content, their choices.
Suck it up, buttercup!
I have a Nissan X-trail
BMW X3 is the most beautiful here but the Mercedes GLK have the matured look
Thomas how tall r u in cm pls?
Mario Goaler hey, thats 1,86 m for the "tall" thomas :)
10:16 X333!
Honestly guys...
I'm a Japanese fan n always will be...
I'd choose the NISSAN Xtrail Anyday...
We own 1 n it's an excellent sUV to own...
BMW is the overall best for me.
where is HD?
Marko Markovic Hi, shortly after the upload, youtube takes a little bit of time to put all options online. Should be available soon!
***** Still no HD;/
Qn6667 Strange - works for me! I can set 1080p. Nothing I can do about, it's a youtube system thingie. Maybe try in a couple of hours again in full quality.
Let's start with the BMW.some models are missing from the uk market like the 550 M diesel. we won't get any petrol x3 or x5 in the uk BMW need to send all models to the uk.
2 Mercedes well this latest offering has not sold well in the uk. unlike other models like the C and s and E HAVE.glad to the G klass still on our roads and AMG doing well to
3 NISSAN
Ok so the Nissan well I like it nice shape good ride nice inside good handling and a nice price to which brings me on to the price of the other 2 no wonder us brits go abroad to buy a new car then come back the other 2 are in the 40 to 50 k range where the Nissan is a nice price in the uk my advice to BMW is stop sending the xmodels just with diesel let the uk have petrol and X DRIVE on all models
.
ANDREW DUNNE In Germany, only the two small petrol and diesel engines of the X3 have _no_ xDrive, all others do. Petrol isnt too important in Germany, though, especially for SUVs.
Glk is Rentner Auto
svaki auto hvali, al mercedes vozi...
Its fun to watch this old stuff, why are the guys cuddling the cars like a 🐶😂
WIsh That Rouge was in Manual here in the U.S. LUCKY You GUYS!!
Jerry Wright hehe. Well but on the other hand, cars are way cheaper over in the US :)
"Just the single one (exhaust) for the diesel engine. Instead we have the fog light here" You guys really know how to talk shit.
BMW always
Nissan x trail all the way
🤣🤣🤣🤮 you’re joking right?😉
george ibrahim I’m not lying, I have one and it is amazing, whatever you like better is also🤮🤮
Parv Sood I like the merc so it’s 😍
george ibrahim opinions are opinions, I like Nissan better
Parv Sood ok I respect that but I was just shocked
Glk
I would buy nissan
X3 is just beautiful, powerful, aggressive, and BMW haha Mercedes = soccer mom car , Nissan= the most value but....still a Nissan
Julio Palma GLK350 0-60 in 5.8 sec.
Jesus A Valentin still a soccer mom car
Nissan all day long. The Germans are incredible to drive and will get you a nice bird. Sell the Bmw and Merc before your warranty expires.
...or extend the warranty like I do. Not that hard.
Are You partially financed by BMW? Because I believe it's the worst car of all three regarding ergonomic aspects. I earnestly believe the ML is much better than the GLK and the X6 much better (and larger) than the X3. Is there still any Nissan Navarra, which is larger than the X-Trail in the market? Very nice review with very few English language errrors (for example "has" instead of "have"). Although You guys seem to be German, good black humour when sitting on the children seat row in the Nissan. The Japanese automakers should sponspor You through insider-trading and match-fixing.
BetterThanEver lol no, I wish ;) In fact, we are totally independent. Remember we are in the compact SUV class here so ML and X6 are one above.
One or two above: because X5 is in between.
Best looking - x3 > rogue > glk
All-new X3 world premiere coming up here soon !
i chose Nissan, what a joke cheep car my model is about 40000 euro with all personalities with racing box is about 189 horsepower and its realy offroad BMW x3 cant uphil climb on wet surface see top gear same shit as x5 really mercedes is better but GL is real offroad this test is little bit shitt sorry
Correct the BMW X3 is the worst of all three.
Petr Tajovsk, actually my dads BMW X3 xdrive 28i is amazing uphill on snowy and wet surfaces we literally tested 5 times, and all five times it made it uphill without even slipping, so don't say shit when you can't afford nice SUVs like Bmw x3
Petr Tajovsky, not only that but BMW X3 is the fastest and nicest looking one of them all, also has amazing features in the 2017 model which my dad has. It has features that even Mercedes doesn't have, it is actually really fast with 8 transmissions and ours is not even the m version
Sorry, but Bmw is not good choice for me ,corect....i had a lot of cars,but Bmw .... Sorry ,my worst choice ever X6 problems with engine,auto trans etc.... 100000€car sorry shit
Dont know what happened with yours, but ours is perdectly fine and we have amazing customer service , wat happened to u was a very rare thing
Nissan is for very bad roads like in balkan countries when the roads have holes 🕳 so for me Nissan is very strong car for bad roads
Chinos and a brown belt
The BMW is ugly and the Nissan even worse. The Mercedes is very beautiful.
And now, after seeing the whole video, I would definately go for the Mercedes, since I prefer comfort over sport. I do actually want to buy a second hand one. I like what I see.
Can you make this video any boring? 30 minutes in to the video and and still the most important part is not presented, how a car DRIVES!!!!
You maybe dont understand that exterior and interior features are very important to a lot of peope. If you want shorter videos, Subscribe to our 2nd channel with shorter reviews then: ua-cam.com/users/autogefuel
@@autogefuehl I understand that but i'm first intrested in what the cars are capabile of, what engines are avabile etc. How the cars look are subjective to what each people like and the materials used can be tested by people in the showroom as again, people might perceive some materials differently.
you can always scroll to our drivings parts of course!
All our videos follow exterior - interior - driving scheme, so easy to follow :)
Nothing worse and more partial than a German judging German cars... Do you really think, after the VW scandal, you are still the best around? I don't think so...
