If you love the Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class of years past; you're going to flip head over heels for the 2013 model - available this summer to discerning drivers near Shrewsbury . As mentioned in the headline, the Bavarian automaker has added a noticeable boost in power - 34 horsepower (hp) to be exact - compared to the 2012 Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class. And just to prove that feistiness can be synonymous with eco-friendliness, the Tri-Pointed Star went ahead and improved fuel economy too.
The bump in horsepower was achieved with a simple engine update and tire change. As for the improvement in efficiency - from 16 mpg city/21 mpg highway to 19 mpg city/24 mpg highway - we have an innovative start-stop system and new electromechanical steering to thank. Replacing last year model's hydraulic system, it allows drivers to conserve gas at a standstill with a simple push of the button.
Don't want to use the start-stop system?
The beauty of the new Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class is you don't have to. Push the button again, and it will disengage. It's that easy.
Speaking on the new model, the hard-to-please critics at Edmunds.com call the 2013 Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class an "…impressively built compact SUV that should satisfy discerning luxury buyers."1
