Summary

The Mercedes-Benz GLK 220 CDI (2010) is rated by experts for very good fuel efficiency (7.2 L/100km) and excellent torque (400 Nm) that the OM651 twin-turbo engine offers. It is distinguished for its high build quality and driving comfort. The main disadvantages are the dated interior design (pre-facelift) and the manual transmission that is 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), problems with the timing chain, and electrical system defects.
