Test drive Mercedes Benz GLK class X204 since 2008 SUV

Mercedes GLK: noble crossover

New Mercedes GLK equipment with a compact diesel engine. So far in Russia without a tank for urea ... Mercedes has a thick cultural layer. If you are smoked by Suzuki, you will find something like submission, mixed with a thirst for profit and a vain of post-war life (this is about the second world), or completely textile equipment.


Scraping the paint from the Mercedes body, you will see the story of the daughter of a rider known at the beginning of the twentieth century. Her name is a German car. She left this world early, because she unsuccessfully married and yearned for truly happiness.


The interior is chopped, broken lines, squares and corners reign here

The suspension was designed and tuned to engineers who grew up on Bach, Beethoven and Mozart. For many decades, they carefully retained the spirit of Mercedes, without giving it to the bribe at the brown whims of the modern welsheul of marketing.


Devices are made in the style of techno. Like the whole car as a whole

Sorry, distracted. Actually, I wanted to talk about a new 2.2 liter diesel engine. He develops 170 horsepower and accelerates to hundreds in 8.8 seconds is quickly. But there are also 400 Newton meters of traction with which an aggressive driving style is already available. In addition, the diesel unit is a friendly tandem with a seven -speed automatic gearbox.

It is even quieter than a gasoline engine. It is only 1013 liters of fuel per hundred. Deprived of any unpleasant vibrations. The only thing that spoils him is the terrible norm of Euro-6. The diesel engine can meet these frames only using an additional tank with urea solution. It is injected into exhaust gases, neutralizing combustion products.
In Russia, they still supply GLK with Euro-5. But over time, we will be forced to shameful ritual. It seems that they are going to sell urea, but who will pay for this? Mom, can I go to the garage? You can’t, son, dad fills the car.
