Introducing the 2011 GLK-Class.

SUV body. Sport sedan heart.
A soul that’s made of mettle.
What drives us to combine the race-bred performance of a Mercedes-Benz sport sedan with the legendary capability of our SUVs?
The same spirit of innovation that’s been part of every Mercedes-Benz since inventing the automobile 125 years ago. After spending
years testing the GLK-Class over 1.5 million miles of punishing terrain, Arctic winters, African desert heat and dense urban jungles,
our engineers returned with something big. Proof of the idea that even a more compact Mercedes-Benz must measure up in every
dimension: Brilliant performance. Advanced safety. Thoughtful technology. Enduring quality. Environmental responsibility. And of
course, distinctive design. Courage, boldness and strength of character — that’s the definition of mettle. And of the 2011 GLK-Class.

Right for the times, starting with 0–60.
There’s nothing downsized about its performance. The GLK 350 may be the smallest Mercedes-Benz SUV, but driving it makes a super-sized impression. Quickly.
A 268-hp 3.5-liter V-6 revs eagerly and delivers the torque-rich response you need — anytime you demand it. Twin chrome exhaust tips punctuate a true dual exhaust
system, for the free-breathing power to conquer steep hills or hit 60 mph in a mere 6.5 seconds.1 Standard 19" — or optional 20" — wheels team up with a 4-wheel
multilink suspension with AGILITY CONTROL, an innovation that instantly recalibrates the shock absorbers with every change in the road surface. And unlike some
compact SUVs, the GLK delivers the sport-sedan balance of rear-wheel drive or optional 4matic™ all-wheel drive. In the GLK-Class, good times are always in season.

Rugged in unexpected locations.
Protective in nature. Proactive in behavior. Wherever you seek adventure in a GLK-Class, you travel with a legion of
reinforcements and a legacy of safety innovation. Nine standard air bags and an army of advanced safety systems are wrapped
in a high-strength steel body — all ready to respond as an integrated system of protection. And while its engineering is on
the cutting edge, its survival instincts have been honed for generations. After all, it’s a Mercedes-Benz — the pioneers of the
crumple zone, Electronic Stability Program, adaptive brakes, and countless preparations for when misadventure seeks you.

Daytime Running Lamps and LED rear turn signals are also included.
Advanced restraints. Nine standard air bags in the GLK-Class
offer 11-way protection. Innovative pelvic air bags complement the Emergency-sensing. Two safety systems originally introduced
front-seat side-impact air bags, and a driver’s knee air bag augments to the automotive world by Mercedes-Benz help you avoid potential

NECK-PRO active front head restraints help to prevent whiplash. And Brake Assist can apply full braking pressure if it detects an
emergency braking situation by the speed at which the driver steps
on the brake pedal — potentially shortening your stopping distance.5
Post-collision response. In the event that an air bag or seat-belt
ETD deploys, the optional Mercedes-Benz mbrace™ system includes
Automatic Collision Notification, which initiates a call to our 24-hour Adaptive brakes. Advanced braking innovations make the large
emergency response center — even if you can’t.4 In addition, the GLK 4-wheel disc brakes of the GLK-Class even more effective. When

Leads the way by following your intuition.
In tune with you, and your surroundings. The GLK-Class doesn’t just make leading-edge entertainment and information technology
available, it makes it accessible. Even the most advanced systems operate with intuitive ease. A console-mounted central controller and
in-dash color display place a variety of audio and navigation options — including real-time traffic reports — within your natural reach. Elegantly
detailed instrumentation reads at a glance through the 3-spoke multifunction steering wheel. And with its expansive windows, automatic
headlamps, large heated side mirrors and an optional rear view camera, the GLK-Class helps you feel in touch with the world around you.

Master of civil engineering.
An advanced degree of refinement. The GLK-Class may be a ruggedly capable performer, but its cabin is a comforting habitat. From its power front seats, you’ll
enjoy both a king-of-the-world view and glued-to-the-road handling confidence. Its powerful climate control has been proven in Saharan swelters and polar frosts. Rich
materials blend new-age style with old-world craftsmanship. Upholstery is carefully fitted by hand. Polished Burl Walnut wood, chrome and aluminum trim highlight
the dashboard and doors. Finely grained leather envelops the steering wheel and gearshift. For an even warmer ambience, a Full Leather Seating Package enhances
the cabin with premium lighting. Sure, you might not be driving to the Serengeti today, but even on a deserted highway, the GLK-Class keeps you cradled in civilization.

For 125 years — longer than any other automaker — we’ve been sharing this planet with you. Respecting it, and protecting it, have long been a part of our vision and ambition. We introduced
the world’s first CFC-free car, not just in its air conditioning but in its entire manufacturing process. We’ve been using water-borne paints for years, and source the wood for our interior
trim from responsibly sustained forests. We’ve been pioneering advanced powertrains for generations, from today’s hybrid models and 50-state clean diesels to the fuel cell vehicles of
tomorrow. Mercedes-Benz is also legendary for producing automobiles of extraordinary durability, with 88% of the vehicles sold in the last 20 years — and a remarkable 75% of the vehicles
we’ve ever sold in the U.S. — still on the road.18 After all, it takes virtually the same amount of energy to build vehicles that last as ones that won’t. Even our brochures conserve resources
