Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class GLX350 - Manual (Page 5)

If you want to test the mettle of an SUV, throw it a curve. The GLK-Class is one compact SUV whose
enthusiasm won’t waver under the pressures of a winding road, a weekend towing excursion, 1 or
even a stoplight showdown with a sports car. With a torque-rich 3.5-liter V-6, the GLK 350 reaches
60 mph in an exuberant 6.5 seconds, 2 accompanied by the subtle growl of true dual exhausts.
Standard 19" — or optional 20" — wheels team up with a 4-wheel multilink suspension with AGILITY
CONTROL for instant response to every change in the road. And unlike some compact SUVs, the GLK
offers the sport-sedan balance of rear-wheel drive or optional 4 matic ™ all-wheel drive. Most any SUV
can look confident on the surface. In the GLK-Class, you’ll feel it — on most any surface of the earth.
any corner of the earth.
any curve in the road.
Flexible muscle. The 268-hp V-6 of the GLK 350 delivers a torrent of
torque throughout its eager rev range. Its 7- speed automatic makes
even better use of all that power, continually adapting to your driving
style or letting you take charge with manual-style Touch Shift control.
Sport and Economy modes let you emphasize rpm or mpg on demand.
Nimble reflexes. Its 4-wheel independent multilink suspension shares
more than its design inspiration with our sport sedans. It also features
our AGILITY CONTROL system — an innovation that responds to every
move of each wheel, instantly recalibrating the shock absorbers to
balance quick, agile handling with a ride that’s calm and composed.
