In the updated GLK, “practical and gut” remained, but they tried to get away from the “squares” as much as possible. It turned out pretty well. Of the external changes, the outline of the head optics and new bumpers are striking in the first place. The taillights, although they retained their previous shape, acquired a different “content” with smooth contours of LED dimensions. In the cabin, deliberately square duct deflectors were replaced by round nozzles in a sporty style. However, it could not have done without a reverse replacement: the round button blocks on the multi-function steering wheel became square. A more significant innovation is that the selector of the 7-speed “automatic” moved to the steering column, turning, in fact, into a steering column lever. As a result, a place was freed up on the central tunnel for any improvised small things.

Previously, the air duct deflectors of the climate system were square, and the button blocks on the multifunction steering wheel, on the contrary, were round.
Acquaintance with the rejuvenated GLK took place on the serpentines of the French Alps. Alas, for the European test drive, Mercedes “drove” mainly diesel versions that are relevant for the Old World, which will not yet be on our market. But to assess the controllability and operation of the new auxiliary electronics, this, of course, did not hurt. On winding tracks, the crossover behaves reliably and predictably. In corners, the steering wheel is poured with a distinct effort. Suspension work is a separate song. Here's how Mercedes engineers and testers manage to set it up like this? The ride is impeccable - the car practically does not notice the small things in the road, as if isolating the riders from the road. On the road, despite the parquet ideology, the GLK also "will not hit the bumper in the mud." Especially if the package includes an Offroad package with which the ground clearance is 30 mm more than the standard. Permanent all-wheel drive with a central differential locked by a multi-plate clutch, and a well-tuned 4ETS system that brakes slipping wheels allow you to confidently move on slippery primers and not be afraid of diagonal hanging in difficult situations. In general, the Mercedes-Benz GLK is fully consistent with the universal crossover status.

Before the upgrade, the Mercedes-Benz GLK was richly equipped with auxiliary systems providing active safety, and during the modernization their list expanded. Let's see what's new and how it works …

The GLK cohort of auxiliary systems has been supplemented by Attention Assist, which monitors how focused the driver is and how his reactions correspond to the traffic situation. Steer Control system was added to electric power steering, which is able to tell the driver the direction of course correction in case of a rear axle drift or a front axle demolition in a tight turn. In addition, Steer Control is able to independently compensate for deviations from a given trajectory in case of emergency braking on a mixed-coating with different adhesion conditions under different wheels.

A lane tracking system has also been added to the GLK model list for the first time. And now she can interact with ESP, which automatically brakes the wheels on the opposite side of the offset and returns the car to its lane.

The ILS adaptive lighting system has an off-road mode in which the brightness of the headlights increases and the sector illuminated by them expands by 6 ° on both sides.

- According to information from the Russian representative office of Mercedes-Benz, in our market the updated crossover will be presented with gasoline versions - GLK 300 4Matic and GLK 350 4Matic. The basic version should cost from 1, 890, 000 rubles, and the extra charge for the Offroad package will be 40, 700 rubles. Competitors in the premium sector have a much wider choice of powertrains, and the basic versions are equipped with more budget motors, which are equipped with manual gearboxes, and not just “automatic machines” like the GLK. Hence a very noticeable gap in starting prices.
