Mercedes Showing Off Improved GLK Vision Hybrid
Many people were disappointed with the look and the design of Mercedes new GLK compact SUV. They thought that the SUV was slightly smaller than what they were hoping for. Those who didn’t get to see it in January at the Detroit Auto Show will get their chance to see it in Geneva – though it will be a slightly different concept.
Next week Mercedes will again be showing off the GLK and will be introducing us to the gas mileage that the CUV/SUV can get. The Vision GLK BlueTec Hybrid has been built with the new mild hybrid system that both Mercedes and BMW have been working on.
Mercedes has also used the four cylinder 2.2 liter diesel engine that produces 224 horsepower and 413 pound-ft of torque. This allows the SUV to move from 0 to 62 mph in 7.3 seconds all while getting 40 mpg. The exterior of the vehicle will be given the AleBeam paint that can be found on the AMG CL65 anniversary edition. Mercedes is planning on releasing the production version of the GLK this summer.
