Summary

The Mercedes-Benz GLK 300 4MATIC (2010) is rated by experts for its quiet M272 V6 engine, excellent driving comfort and high construction quality. The main downsides are high fuel consumption (13.0 L/100km), dated interior design (pre-facelift), and the relatively low torque (300 Nm) of the V6 petrol engine compared to diesel variants. Common problems reported with this M272 engine include balance shaft problems in early models, intake manifold defects, and oil leakage from the oil cooler.
