Summary

The Mercedes-Benz GLK 250 BlueTEC 4MATIC (2014) is rated by experts for its excellent fuel efficiency (33 MPG EPA motorway) and high torque (500 Nm) that makes it fast in daily driving, despite its average acceleration performance. The Phase-II update brought a much more luxurious and attractive interior. The main downsides are the relatively high weight (1926 kg), the increased maintenance cost of the BlueTEC/AdBlue system, and the limited rear/trunk space. Common problems reported with this OM651 engine in this generation include problems with the timing chain and EGR valve defects.
