TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2013 Mercedes-Benz GLK
| 2013 Mercedes-Benz GLK Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
| Year | Comment | |
| Expect the GLK to grow when it is next fully redesigned. A smaller MLK is on the way to battle the upcoming Audi Q3 and just-arrived BMW X1. For 2013, the GLK's body structure remains essentially the same, so rear seat knee room remains just sufficient for a man of average height sitting behind another such man. (Headroom, on the other hand, is abundant.) Among competitors, only the Infiniti EX37 has a tighter rear seat. The Audi, BMW, and Volvo all offer knees another inch or three. Seat comfort is debatable. To my bottom, the GLK's seats feel overly firm. Cargo space is similarly short of the segment average. The GLK's 54.7 cubic feet isn't far behind the Audi's 57.3 but well below the X3's 63.3. That truncated tail has a downside beyond aesthetics. But do these shortcomings really matter? For most people nearly all of the time, there's enough space. see full Mercedes-Benz GLK review | ||

We are a couple with no kids and we rarely have visitors so the cramped rear seating is not a problem. Someone with teenage kids will want to seriously reconsider before getting a GLK. I know my Mom would not appreciate the ingress/egress ease as she has some limited mobility. see full Mercedes-Benz GLK review |

Seats are comfortable, adjustable, and sit high to give the driver and passenger a good view of the road ahead, and are wide and not narrow like you find in the competition. see full Hyundai Elantra Touring review |

The Front Seats have plenty of room, I am 6'4"and find there is a lot of room. see full Hyundai Elantra Touring review |

Being quite a tall guy one of my favourite tests is to set the front seat in my position and then get in the back seat. In the touring I have at least 4" of knee room. Great for long trips. see full Hyundai Elantra Touring review |
