Summary

The Mercedes-Benz GLK 350 2WD (2010) is rated by experts for its powerful and quiet V6 M272 engine, excellent driving comfort and high construction quality, especially in the interior. This 2WD (RWD) variant offers a slightly faster speed and a lower base price than the 4MATIC. The main downsides are high fuel consumption (18 MPG EPA) and dated interior design (pre-facelift). Common problems reported with this M272 engine include balance shaft problems in early models, intake manifold defects, and oil leakage from the oil cooler.
