Hey!!
i´m new here, from Brazil. Got a question....does anyone know why we get the glk300 in brazi instead of the glk 350?? are there any differences? (what are they)??
also wanted to know why is the glk300 (brazil) announced w/ 252 hp, but 302 hp everywhere else....
thanks!!

Different engines, 3.5L for North America and 3.0L (I think) for where you are.

LeoK

it´s a 3.5L too...

LesF

different model numbers and designations for different countries because equipment is country specific. Standards vary by country and cars are equipped according to national standards.

May be it has been de-tuned in Brazil.

I know in Vietnam, GLK300 has a 3.0L engine and it costs roughly 90K USD.

LeoK

LesF even though both have the same engines?
I got the same 3.5 on my glk300 as in other glk 350´s

LesF

yup

sparrow13

they have the same engine! The difference is that you engine is degraded to 247 hp (in my case glk 300 2015 in México) you can unleash the power! by reprogram the computer or unlock the software

De-tune my 302hp U.S. spec. 2014 GLK350 to 247hp and give me a few more miles per gallon fuel economy! (and/or allow me to use regular gasoline instead of Premium!)
Don't see any need for 302hp...

sparrow13

did you notice big difference in power before and after De-tune your car?. jajajajaja I'm looking a software to increase the HPs!

ningster

that's what the GLK250BT is for....

MBKLUE

That was my first GLK test drive vehicle. I disagree.

ningster

I was shopping for a GLK350 and started negotiating with the dealership on one. then I test drove a ML250BT, that sold me on the engine... Bought a GLK250BT the next day and never looked back.

the 300+ HP was way more power than I needed... and I am thrilled with the 35+MPG that I'm getting on the BT. I've driven it close to 1000 miles and only filled up once

MBKLUE

300+ hp is way more than I needed too but I got the right vehicle
(for me).

How's the quality of your gas compared to the U.S.?

They might have de-tuned it to compensate for lower octane...

leok, Im also from Brazil and looking for at least some torque enhancements to our 3.0 engine, besides its mileage also very poor, so Im eager for some engine tune even if at distance to our cars' EcU

LesF

poor mileage can be traced back to ethanol in your fuel. In the US gas is mixed with up to 10% ethanol which can translate up to about a 10% decrease in fuel economy.

Leo, aqui no Brasil as Glk300 sao 3.0 sim, ha alguns 350 de i,portacao indep dos EUaa, q esse sim sao 3.5 - infos oficias abaixo

O consumo e o torque fraco me decepcionaram muito comparados a meu ultimo Subaru 3.6 R q fazio 9-10/l na cidade com podium, e estou a procura d quem faca um acerto de injecao pra melhorar esses pontos - se vc souber de algum com experiencia nesses motores me avise pls, abc Denis
