IntroductionThe 2012 Mercedes-Benz GLK350 is the second-cheapest Mercedes you can buy in this country, nd yet you'd never guess it by the way it looks, eels and drives. Close the GLK's doors and the metallicthumpis reminiscent of closing a bank vault -- all that's missing is that spinning wheel thing. Drive over railroad tracks and the GLK feels as if it's made from a solid block of concrete -- there's no jarring or jiggling greeting your backside. This sort of impenetrable feeling is a hallmark of Mercedes' current lineup and certainly makes any sort of anticipated GLK price premium seem worth it -- though in reality, he GLK is actually quite competitively priced.

Aside from sharing that iron-clad feel with the C-Class sedan upon which it is based, he GLK's well-sorted steering and ride are remarkably similar as well. The C and GLK now differ in engine fitment, owever, s the GLK350 soldiers on with its 268-horsepower V6, hile the C350 has been upgraded for 2012. This isn't exactly a problem, s the GLK still offers class-competitive power, hough fuel economy is below average.

The GLK's cabin is a chip off the old Mercedes block, ith a distinct emphasis placed on the word "block." There's nary a curve in sight, ith a design that harkens back to pre-1990s Benzes. When done up in black, t's quite austere and unmistakably German in its aesthetic. Whether you like the look or not will be a matter of preference, ut the GLK's materials and construction are undeniably top-notch. An abundance of convenience, echnology and especially safety features are available for further embellishing.

The main drawback to the GLK is that it may be a little too compact for some. Its backseat and cargo area are smaller than most vehicles in the class, aking theAudi Q5,BMW X3andVolvo XC60better choices for families. For just a little more money, ou could also step up to the much larger Acura MDX or Lexus RX 350. Yet for singles or couples with limited people- and/or stuff-hauling needs, he 2012 Mercedes-Benz GLK350 is a well-made crossover that earns its hallowed three-pointed star.

Body Styles, rim Levels, nd OptionsThe 2012 Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class consists of only a single model: the GLK350. When equipped with all-wheel drive, t receives a 4Matic moniker.

Standard equipment includes 19-inch alloy wheels, utomatic headlights and wipers, ront and rear foglamps, oof rails, ruise control, ual-zone automatic climate control, ight-way power front seats, B-Tex premium vinyl upholstery, leather-wrapped tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, cargo cover, luetooth, he COMAND electronics interface and a six-speaker sound system with a single-CD player and an auxiliary audio jack.

The Premium 1 package adds a power liftgate, panoramic sunroof (optional separately), ear parking sensors, uto-dimming mirrors, power-adjustable steering wheel, river memory functions, ront-seat four-way power lumbar adjustment, compass and satellite radio (optional separately). The COMAND package adds a navigation system, larger infotainment display, eal-time traffic, igital music storage and voice controls. The Multimedia package is similar, ut adds a rearview camera and an iPod interface (optional separately). A six-CD changer can be added to both of these packages.

The Lighting package adds bi-xenon headlamps, eadlamp washers and LED running lamps. The Full Leather Seating package adds interior accent lighting and extended leather trim further available in special request colors. An AMG Styling package adds 20-inch wheels and special styling flourishes inspired by Mercedes' high-performance AMG lineup.

Stand-alone options include Mercedes-Benz "mbrace" emergency telematics, ront and rear parking sensors, trailer hitch, unning boards, eyless ignition/entry, eated front seats, rear-seat entertainment system and an 11-speaker Harman Kardon surround-sound audio system. Also available is a less advanced navigation system that includes iPod integration.

Powertrains and PerformanceThe 2012 Mercedes-Benz GLK350 is powered by a 3.5-liter V6 that produces 268 hp and 258 pound-feet of torque. A seven-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive are standard. 4Matic all-wheel drive is optional.

In Edmunds performance testing, GLK350 4Matic accelerated from zero to 60 mph in 7.2 seconds, n average time for this segment. EPA-estimated fuel economy is 16 mpg city/22 mpg highway and 18 mpg combined with rear-wheel drive. The highway number drops to 21 with 4Matic, hich is on the low side for the segment.

SafetyThe GLK comes standard with stability control, ntilock disc brakes with brake assist and brake drying, ctive front head restraints, ront-seat side airbags, ide curtain airbags, driver knee airbag and driver/passenger pelvic airbags. Parking sensors and Mercedes' mbrace emergency telematics are optional.

In Edmunds brake testing, GLK 4Matic came to a stop from 60 mph in 119 feet -- a good number for a compact luxury crossover.

In crash testing done by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, he GLK received the top rating of "Good" in the frontal-offset, ide impact and roof strength tests.

Interior Design and Special FeaturesThe GLK's cabin looks as if its designers stuck exclusively to rulers when penning the many surfaces -- there's barely a rounded edge to be found. While this produces a rather austere and stark environment (particularly in black), he interior is solidly crafted with top-notch materials and tight panel fits. The standard MB-Tex vinyl upholstery is not only nicer than many makers' real leather, ut we actually thought itwasleather until we peeked at our GLK test car's equipment list.

Cabin controls can seem a little complicated at first, ut the combination of physical dash buttons, teering wheel controls and the multifunction COMAND knob are a reasonable solution to complicated stereo, avigation and telephone functions. The climate controls are the standard Benz units, hich means they are fairly simple to use. They are mounted a little low in the GLK, hough.

Maximum cargo capacity is 54.7 cubic feet, hich is less than every compact and midsize competitor (often considerably so). The same goes for backseat room, aking it a better choice for singles or couples without kids rather than families. Headroom is ample for all passengers.

Driving ImpressionsThe 2012 Mercedes-Benz GLK's most notable characteristic is the rock-solid feel its chassis and unibody construction display over every bump and road imperfection. Even the worst potholes and railroad tracks are greeted with a muted thump and absolutely no body shudder or unpleasantness transferred to your backside. The ride may be on the firm side for some people, ut the GLK is otherwise a nicely tuned luxury vehicle that glides along freeways with confidence and comfort.

Through corners, he GLK feels very much like the tall C-Class it is. It remains well-planted despite its top-heavy nature, nd its steering is well-weighted and offers plenty of feedback. We wouldn't describe the GLK as particularly fun compared to an Audi Q5 or BMW X3, ut it seems just right for its likely clientele.

The same could be said for power, s the V6 provides sufficient, hough not breathtaking, cceleration. On the highway, hough, t is remarkably quiet, manating an almost imperceptible purr. When pushed aggressively, he dual exhausts give off a notably Germanic growl. The seven-speed transmission is remarkably smooth -- even in Sport mode -- but it can be a bit slow to downshift at times.
