| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV turbocharged 240hp 2.3L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Fit and finish are very good, as expected in an "entry" level luxury vehicle, not MB or BMW quality in terms of materials, but above most of the crowd. |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV turbocharged 240hp 2.3L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
quiet, no rattles, nice materials |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV turbocharged 240hp 2.3L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
well build with high quality finishes, unlike US manfacturers vehicles that fit and finish is sub par. |

| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2010 | 4dr SUV 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
The parts are quality, the attention to detail is absolute. Everything from the dashboard material to the carpet screams comfort. |
| 2010 | 4dr SUV 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Looked at the RDX. The Cx-7. The Tiguan. The Mercedes is at leasta full class above these competing makes. The MB-Tex is a synthetic leather that will fool anybody. Soft and smooth. The dash is typical Mercedes. The gaps are small and uniform. |
| Materials and Workmanship of the Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2010 | 4dr SUV 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Too much interior plastic which adds a cheap feel to the interior. Some rattles and squeaks. |
