Model overview

The Mercedes-Benz GLK is a five-passenger luxury SUV built from 2008 through 2015. It was unveiled in 2008 at the Beijing Auto Show.

The name GLK is a shortcut for Geländewagen Luxus Kompaktklasse, getting its name from the GL-Class, which was identified after the G-Wagen. Therefore, the GL is the luxury model of the G, and GLK is the compact variant of the GL. Now its follower is named the Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class.

In 2015, when the second generation debuted, the GLK-Class was renamed to Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class as per the new classification adopted by the brand. Under this nomenclature, SUVs employ the base title "GL", accompanied by the model's position in the Mercedes-Benz range.
