Mercedes Benz Vision GLK FREESIDE

It’s no secret that the Mercedes Benz Vision GLK FREESIDE is a near production preview of the upcoming Mercedes Benz GLK-Class, a compact SUV to rival the BMW X3, the Landrover LR2 and the Volkswagen Tiguan.
The name GLK has a meaning - G means a cross country vehicle (G-Wagon), L means luxury and K means Kompaktheit, which is German for compactness. Its styling looks rather butch, and there are some odd design elements, for example I do not see why they had to make the lower part of the front headlamps step down slightly inwards.
The Mercedes-Benz Vision GLK FREESIDE is powered by a 2.2 liter Bluetec inline-4 turbodiesel engine mated to a 7G-Tronic gearbox, putting out 168 horsepower.

un-inspired design…probably look better in black anyway. All comes down to pricing now.

The new trend of car design is sharp lines and muscular body. You will notice new BMW 5 series, new C-class, new Accord all look like this.

not too bad, but the interior is very dull……

Interior looks like a Chinese rip-off of the BMW X5’s. Enough said.
