What is the upgraded model of the Mercedes-Benz GLK?
2 Answers
The upgraded model of the Mercedes-Benz GLK is the Mercedes-Benz GLC. Mercedes-Benz GLC exterior design: The front fascia largely continues the design style of the Mercedes-Benz GLC. The main differences between the GLC Coupe SUV and the standard GLC are concentrated in the rear styling. The GLC Coupe SUV features a fastback design that provides a more sporty visual effect, particularly in the treatment of rear details, which exudes a unique sporty charm. Mercedes-Benz GLC interior design: The interior of the GLC Coupe SUV is largely identical to the domestically produced GLC. The dashboard incorporates wood grain trim panels and black leather upholstery, equipped with a contemporary standalone LCD display. The overall texture and sense of luxury are maintained at a high standard. However, due to its sloping roofline design, rear headroom is somewhat reduced compared to the standard GLC.
I've been driving Mercedes-Benz SUVs for years. The earliest GLK felt solid but the suspension was a bit too stiff, and the interior seemed outdated. In 2015, Mercedes finally upgraded and launched the GLC, completely replacing the GLK. This new model was built on Mercedes' MRA platform, with an overall weight reduction of 10% and a more comfortable suspension tuning, making it much smoother over bumpy roads. I upgraded to a GLC 300 myself, with horsepower increased from the GLK's 245 hp to 255 hp, while fuel consumption actually dropped by 1 point. It drives incredibly smoothly on the highway. The interior upgrades are the most impressive—large central display, leather seats, and an active braking system for added safety. Now, there's even a hybrid version of the GLC, which is great for eco-friendly city driving. If you're thinking of upgrading from the GLK, the GLC is the way to go. Mercedes even offers an AMG version for those who love speed. As someone who used to drive the GLK, test-driving the GLC felt like a whole new level of driving experience.
