I have a GLK 250 from 2015 and with AMG package. THe interior is almost like SLA class. Drove over 134000 kilometers and combined 34 MPG. No issues other than regular oil change and service. This small SUV weight is same as a minivan. Heavy, well built and extremely nimble. They are no longer making these solid automobiles anymore. This GLK is replaced by lighter weight, cheap plasticky GLC model. Thanks I was able to grab one of the last pieces available in late 2015.
Well on the wood mods he did but I'll tell you mine, I added black 20 inch wheels, I also have a Panamera Grill I'm about to put on and, a 10-inch screen to get rid of that little one that thing is annoying, I also have a mesh grill but I'm removing that to put on the Panorama Grill

SuperEman500 yeah, it’s still a Mercedes haha. Oil change, which I do myself, takes full synth oil and isn’t cheap. Had a coil pack crap out and that was like $400 at a Merc specialist so I’m sure it’s like $1000 at the dealership. Tires and brakes are expensive. You know, the regular German luxury car stuff.
@@mohnjayer never do repairs at an official mercedes benz partner. The yearly check up costs around 1000€ here, a normal auto repair shop takes around 600€.
Appreciate the tips. I’ve had my 2012 GLK350 4matic since May 2012. Only 110,000 km’s. Love the “Panzer”. Perfect for about town, highway or light/medium off-pavement driving. I’ve never gotten stuck in snow even with stock Dunlop all season tires. I suggest installing K&N high flow air filters. It makes driving the car in “E” (economy) a pleasant and more peppy experience (it’s otherwise too unresponsive & too sluggish at lower RPM) and improves gas mileage. The only repair I’ve had (other than maintenance) has been a blown oil filter cooler that contaminated the cooling system/fluid: $2,300 (Cdn)!
I replaced washer fluid tank. Front differential was leaking. But Payback oil treatment fixed that. Other than that it's a great car. Love it. 2010 GLK.
I may get a 2010 model as well. It's very well maintained. The only thing that's holding me back is mileage. I do about 90% of my driving in city, about 300 km per month (in city). In your experience, how is your fuel economy? If you don't mind me asking, how much do you drive and how much do you spend on gas monthly?
@@juanfranli. I drive about only 10000km per year. IF I drive slow on big roads with low speed 0.67liter per 10km. If I run around in town its easy to reach about 0.92......
I had one but returned it quickly. Exterior was cool, but interior was a let down and not updated, ergonomics, electronics, space, seats didn't go back enough, jiggly stiff ride, felt tippy. Got rid of my mint condition one so soon, but I did make more on the return.
You like what you like…but that was last of the used Mercedes that will be reliable and inexpensive to fix. I have had some fantastic cars …lovely on the inside…but that wears off quick when you are repairing a head gasket or a transmission….I had an Audi A5…gorgeous interior and exterior….got rid of it after about a month and a half…because every time I put in gas..I also put in about a liter of oil…and the car only had less than 55K miles. I went and bought the GLK…and the car has been bulletproof for 5 years now…
Thank you for the info on the Mercedes-Benz automobiles. I prefer Mercedes although I have never driven a Bentley or similar quality car. Mercedes is better than most cars I don't see how the Rolls and other cars can be better, but then, I have never driven one. The new Rolls have no curb appeal so I would never bother to look inside or drive one
Willi six i was driven in many,normal fucking car. And the more money you spend the nicer it gets... However: rolls is totally another lvl m8. The comparison for that is a maybach
i come frome china。i have GLk300 Imported from Germany At 130KM Changed gearbox and transfer case。 The transfer case began to leak oil from the new car. Continued until I replaced it
How comfortable the ride of this car on road imperfections? Does it have air suspension? Or electric shock absorbers ? I have seen one almost like new but worried about comfort
Just sold my 2014 - here's me take. I had zero tech, other than Bluetooth and heated seats. No Nav or anything. Kind of a drag without it. I keep my wallet in my from pocket, and it CONSTANTLY bumped into the center console dial, which usually cut off whatever I was listening to. You also had to rest the audio every time you plug your phone in. The Mercedes audio interface cable is useless. Nice and zippy, although you really need to use throttle control, as when you floor it, you bog down. The sport button is in a weird place on the console. By far my biggest complaint is that at 30MPH it bottoms out on even a low speed bump. If you live in an area with no bumps, its really fun to drive.
The price can depend on how many extras were added. But this is an entry level to the Mercedes SUV. The base price was around $40k, and now they sell in the low to mid 20s (depending on how old). That's about right for a luxury car. Check any other luxury car and it will be about the same. The 2015 GLK won the JD Powers award for reliability. The GLK was a top-seller for Mercedes. I hope tis answers some of your questions.
rod simes the transfer case sends power to the front wheels so all wheel drive is achieved. Four wheel drives have rear wheel drive and with a transfer case sends power to drive the front wheels. Clear as mud?
Lexus makes the best luxury SUVs. Mercedes today makes crap cars....owned a few. Over engineering and too complex with a flimsy build. Mercedes is a ‘has been’ company with zero reliability.
Completely agree. The same stands for bmw and audi too. Top european manufacturers became cocky crap and endless money pits (as Scotty used to say). I hope new volvo doesn't share their faith.

I LOVE my GLK. Best car I’ve ever owned. Did lots of mods to it to keep me interested. With all that said, it’s very reliable
Dr.Detail what mods did you do?
i just bought my glk yesterday, im also interested in the mods u did

I'm a BMW fan, but the GLK looks much better than the X3 by far........
The window control buttons on the door , black paint peels off. The center console plastic scratches easily.
Had one of these for two years. Been solid as a rock with regular maintenance.
Was regular maintenance expensive? I'm thinking about getting a 2015 GLK 250 Bluetec to use as a delivery vehicle for Shipt.

how would a 5 member family fit into this car, comparing to a VW Touran?
Why only left hand drive?
Awesome video! I subscribed to your channel.
Nice review. I'm shopping for a 2015. Unfortunately in North America...I can only find automatics. Oh well.
The automatic transmission is very good
Yes. We are getting one this week and its an automatic. It would be twice as fun to drive a stick!
Feelings may change if lucky to get paddles. Downshifts are intuitive. Pull both, back to auto.
What is the reason of long time start engin motor in garage or out side, winter or sommer.
i come frome china。i have GLk300
Imported from Germany
At 130KM
Changed gearbox and transfer case。
The transfer case began to leak oil from the new car. Continued until I replaced it
excellent summary
Great job
How comfortable the ride of this car on road imperfections? Does it have air suspension? Or electric shock absorbers ? I have seen one almost like new but worried about comfort
Do not get caught up in air suspension…always the number one problem area…costing thousands to repair..,stick with as basic-a suspension you can get

Even though I know that 90% of people in the world are complete idiots, I'm still surprised every now and then with such examples.
why does the 2010 ckick by engine
Please can you explain to me what speed center malfunction is about
Mercedes good. Good comfort table.
Jaguar XF 2008- quite an awesome car, can we expect that a video from you, about this car any time soon?
yes, it's on my list
Please is there much difference between 4matic and non 4matic
If the difference between rear wheel and 4 wheel drive isn't much difference for you, then there's no much difference.
My pinion: rwd=no transfer case maintenance.
@@clarencedavismba5042 exactly why I was looking for RWD, as 4MATIC sounds like extra potential expensive problems in the future..
hey which is the best engines in glk to buy ?
2015 GLK350- m276 engine feels like has afterburner. Yes it bogs 1sec then zoooom. Traffic=memory.
Why value depreciation is so high on these? They are really cheap to buy.
Are they unreliable or just unpopular?(like R-class)
