The Mercedes-Benz GLK 350 CDI 4MATIC (2014) is rated by experts for strong performance (6.5s 0-100 km/h) and massive torque (620 Nm) of the V6 OM642 engine, making it an excellent choice for dynamic driving. The Phase-II update brought a much more luxurious interior and improved technology. The main downsides are relatively high fuel consumption (8.3 L/100km) and high maintenance costs of the V6 diesel engine. Common problems reported with the OM642 engine include oil leaks that require expensive labor, EGR valve defects, and turbocharging problems.
