�The Mercedes GLK will go head to head against competitors such as the BMW X3 and the Land Rover LR2. Guesses on pricing, however, put it under $40,000 to match the BMW X3’s $38,775 starting price and fall far enough below the M-Class MSRP of $44,425. Predictions are that we’ll see the GLK-Class debut at the Detroit Auto Show in January 2008.
Mercedes GLK, a new competitor for BMW X3
Mercedes Benz has officially announced its new small SUV set to be launched late 2008 - the Mercedes Benz GLK-Class. This will be the fifth SUV/Crossover model in Mercedes� lineup, joining cars like the M-Class, R-Class, GL and the old-school G-Class SUV. It�ll offer space for five passengers and will have generous trunkspace, which will be accessible over a relatively low tailgate. New underpinnings, which engineers are calling the “direct control chassis,” promise less body roll, a tighter turning radius and more responsive steering.
