Summary

The Mercedes-Benz GLK 250 (2014) is rated by experts for fast performance (7.5s 0-100 km/h) and the new M274 turbo direct injection engine, which delivers good turquoise (350 Nm) at low laps. It is distinguished for its updated interior (Phase-II facelift) and high build quality. The main downsides are relatively high fuel consumption (9.1 L/100km) for a 4-cylinder engine and limited rear/luggage space. Common problems reported with this M274 engine include problems with oil leaks (especially from the oil cooler) and problems with the fuel system (fuel injectors). In addition, the X204 models have shown electrical defects and problems with the 7G-Tronic transmission.
