Summary

The Mercedes-Benz GLK 200 CDI (2010) is rated by experts for very good fuel efficiency (6.9 L/100km) and good torque (350 Nm) that make it suitable for daily driving. It is distinguished for its high build quality and driving comfort. The main downsides are poor acceleration performance (10.5s 0-100km/h), dated interior design (pre-facelift), and a manual transmission not preferred in this class. Common problems reported with the OM651 engine in this generation include defects of piezoelectric fuel injectors (especially in early models) and problems with the timing chain.
