Boundlessly good: the GLK will get you to your destination on the road or far from it. Short front and rear overhangs, good ground clearance and the 4MATIC permanent all-wheel drive mean this compact all-round talent will cut a good figure everywhere, and not just on gravel parking lots.

If you want, you can choose the optional off-road engineering package as well. This includes, among other things, an underride guard and underbody protection; at the touch of a button you can change to a special Off-Road driving programme which improves even more the off-road capability of the GLK by modifying the vehicle characteristics in a targeted manner.
