New footage

Last week Daimler Group announced that their new compact SUV will indeed be named the Mercedes GLK, which translates as the Short (Kurz) GL class. Today we bring you driving footage of the new SUV which is set to compete with the BMW X3 and upcoming Audi Q5, amongst others.

The new GLK is sharing some of its technical components with the new C-class, but the styling will stay very close to the current GL-class. Expect a GLK 63 AMG to follow the V6 powered base model.
