Sneak peek: 2009 Mercedes GLK
The GLK will debut as a 2009 model and is expected to be introduced at the Geneva Motor Show in 2008. Power is expected to come from a 3.5-liter V-6 with Mercedes 4Matic all-wheel-drive standard. All versions are expected to have the 7G-Tronic TouchShift automatic transmission. Later on there could be a V-8-powered GLK63 AMG version.
In line with Mercedes’ new development strategy, many of the components used for the upcoming GLK share their design with the parts used in the C-Class. The car’s underpinnings will be based on a revised version of the C-Class platform, meaning the GLK will be powered by the same engine lineup as seen in the new saloon. A brand new four-cylinder Bluetec diesel displacing 2.2L and producing up to 204hp should also make an appearance.
