Summary

The Mercedes-Benz GLK 250 BlueTEC 4MATIC (2014) is rated by experts as a balanced model, which offers high turquoise (500 Nm) and good fuel efficiency (7.5 L/100km) with the OM651 diesel engine. The Phase-II update brought a much more luxurious interior and improved technology. The main downsides are the relatively high weight (1850 kg), the increased maintenance costs of the BlueTEC/AdBlue system and the 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.
