Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class
Mercedes-Benz’s little luxury compact SUV has been a surprise since day one. It has done well versus the competition thanks to nearly exemplary handling. Its 3.5-litre V6 engine, paired with a seven-speed automatic transmission, helps it stand out. There are a few new features for 2011, including LED headlights, paddle shifters and optional 19-inch wheels. It’s one of the most sought after SUV on the market.
