Mercedes-Benz’s next-generation GLK-Class is in the final phases of its development, and it looks like the popular small SUV will sport a very handsome new look. As the latest spy shots confirm, the new GLK will be slightly larger than the model it replaces. This is in order to make room for the smaller 2015 Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class.
The latest prototype clearly has a longer wheelbase than the current GLK, and its track is wider too. We can also see that the hood has been stretched and the front axle pushed forward to accommodate the longer wheelbase. This should translate to more interior space and improved dynamics. It also means the new GLK will better match rivals such as the BMW X3 and Audi Q5 in terms of comfort and space.
The new GLK, whatever it’s called, should debut early next year ahead of a sales launch next fall. It should list as a 2016 model.
