Summary

The Mercedes-Benz GLK 350 2WD (2014) is rated by experts for fast performance (6.4s 0-100 km/h) and powerful and refined V6 M276 engine. The Phase-II update brought a much more luxurious interior and improved technology. The main downsides are the relatively high fuel consumption (11.2 L/100km) and ongoing reliability concerns associated with the M276 engine. Common problems reported with this engine include noises during starting due to failure of the bumpy shaft regulator (Cam Adjuster) and oil leakage from the distribution chain box, as well as problems with the 7G-Tronic transmission system.
