Summary

The Mercedes-Benz GLK 220 CDI 4MATIC (2010) is rated by experts for excellent driving comfort, high construction quality and the OM651 diesel engine that offers good turquoise (400 Nm) and acceptable efficiency (7.7 L/100km). The main downsides are dated interior design (pre-facelift), average acceleration performance (9.4s 0-100 km/h), and limited luggage and rear seat space. Common problems reported with this X204 model include electrical faults of the complex system, problems with the timing chain in the OM651 engine (which can cause noise), and faults of fuel injectors (especially in early models).
