New 2012 Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class On Sale Now

Posted By: Park Place Motorcars, Mercedes-Benz Dealer - 2012-02-01

The Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class stands tall as an example of how rugged equals refined, tough complements classy and off-road matches on-road performance.

"As Benjamin Franklin once said 'A house is not a home unless it contains food and fire for the mind as well as the body.' Most of the luxury mid size SUV's fail to deliver this food and fire to the consumer," writes Thomas Nelson in TopSpeed. "This precedence of indifference ended when we walked to the parking lot and gazed at the 2012 Mercedes-Benz GLK350."

A few recurring themes appear when you read 2012 GLK-Class reviews: the SUV rides like a car, offers exceptional value for your money and manages corners with a gentle hand. Whether you're a parent hauling kids in the early morning commute or a pet lover bringing a large Labrador along for the ride, the GLK-Class turns the mundane into an entertaining ride. Check out the Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class compact SUV at Park Place Motorcars in Dallas, Park Place Motorcars Fort Worth or Park Place Motorcars Grapevine.

Coupling the 3.5-liter V6 engine with the 7-speed automatic transmission creates a dynamite go-getter that obeys your orders in the GLK350. "On-road performance is striking for its car-like cadence: the GLK-Class scoots to speed quickly, corners neatly, and its steering has the kind of heft and accuracy we like in four-door sedans," writes The Car Connection's Marty Padgett.

Terrain and weather can do all the punishing it wants, but the Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class glides through all obstacles with unwavering character and a smaller footprint. The compact SUV has razor-sharp survival instincts and plenty of reinforcements from its safety features to create the smooth and memorable adventures you desire.

How can the GLK-Class be both rugged and refined? Inside its durable exterior is fine grain leather hand-fitted upholstery. Accentuating the cabin is a sustainable, hand-polished Burl Walnut wood with a chrome and aluminum flourish.

8-way power front seats offer comfort and split rear seats deliver the flexibility you need to handle your loads for all occasions and situations. The interior will keep you cozy and sheltered even when you drive through an urban jungle, rugged land or uncharted territory.

Every GLK350 includes 19-inch alloy wheels, dual-zone automatic climate control, eight-way power front seats, COMAND central controller, six-speaker sound system and a cargo cover. You have the option of adding a power liftgate, panoramic sunroof, auto-dimming mirrors, a navigation system incorporated into COMAND, bi-xenon headlamps and more. For a little sporty goodness, an AMG Styling package comes with 20-inch wheels and a few styling highlights with high performance AMG traits.
