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 |

it is very comfortable during short trips or long drives. The seat can be adjusted many ways as well as the wheel. The controls are all in reach and easy to use. The dash is not too high nor to low. The car is very easy to see out of while driving. see full Jaguar X-Type review |

Well I am a taller person so when i have the drivers seat in my driving position there is virtually no room behind me so that makes the rear seat worthless for just about any person. see full Jaguar X-Type review |
