Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class
The German brand has brought back the GLK for 2012, based on the C-Class’ platform. The only version offered is the GLK350 with FWD or 4Matic AWD, which transfers power and torque to whichever wheels need it most. The only engine available is a V6 paired with a 7-speed automatic transmission. The GLK’s towing capacity is 1,588 kg. Its road manners are more or less the same as those of a C-Class sedan,
