2009 Mercedes GLK spy shots
February 25, 2008 by George Skentzos
Our spy photographers have captured a scantily clad 2009 Mercedes GLK undergoing testing in snowy conditions.
Whilst it may look near identical to the Mercedes GL, this GLK prototype is considerably smaller, hence the suffix ‘K’ which is a diminutive of the German “kurz,” meaning short.
The GLK is Mercedes’ answer to the BMW X3 and Audi’s forthcoming Q5, and utilises technical components from the highly acclaimed C-Class.
Power is expected to come from a 3.5-litre V6 engine coupled with Mercedes’ 4Matic all-wheel drive system.
The 7G-Tronic TouchShift automatic transmission is also expected to be available across the range.
A high-output GLK63 AMG variation sporting a V8 powerplant is also a possibility in the near future.
The GLK is intended to reclaim lost ground for Mercedes as US sales subside as the market slowly moves away from the big SUV.

What is it with Merc don’t they know what small is?
Another boxy square sharp edged oversize SUV. what happened to the nice ML styling thats more appropriate. This is made for the US as they love driving poorly styled boxy square barges that handle like wobbly boats. Yuk crap.
IM ACTUALLY GLAD WE ARE NOT GETTTING THIS CAR ITS CRAP ITS LITTLERALY A BOX ONWHEELS
caradvice has its own spy photographers now…?
as for the car..waste of space
Why bother posting spy shots when the undisguised car can be viewed in official photos?
Looks like the new version of an East German(before the wall came down) staff car
