Summary

The Mercedes-Benz GLK 220 BlueTEC 4MATIC (2014) is rated by experts for very good fuel efficiency (7.0 L/100km) and excellent torque (400 Nm) that the OM651 engine offers. The BlueTEC version meets the Euro 6 standard and the Phase-II update brought a much more luxurious and updated interior. The main downsides are poor performance (10.0s 0-100km/h) due to the added weight and limited rear/luggage space. Common problems reported with this OM651 engine in this generation include problems with the timing chain, EGR valve defects, and problems with the BlueTEC/AdBlue (SCR) system, as well as general electrical defects.
