Does GLK350 truck fit bicycle?

I am shopping for 2013 GLK350 2WD.

Can you please tell me the back truck space with back seat flip down fits my bicycles? The length of my bicycles are 5 ft 7 inches.

Thank you for your help.

With the front seat in the farthest back position, I measure 60 inches straight back to the trunk rear hatch. With the front seat in the most forward position, I measure 70 inches straight back. Measuring diagonally, add 12 to 14 inches to these measurements. I'd expect that with the passenger seat somewhat forward and your bike laid diagonally, it would fit OK.

thank you, slk55er, thank you for response.
I do hope 2013 GLK350 has at least same truck length of 60 to 70 inches.
Can you please tell me the width of the truck, so that I can figure how much space to diagonally laid my bicycles?
Should I also seek rubber type truck lining? Which do you recommend?

The trunk (which I assume you mean, not "truck") opening is generally 45 - 48 inches wide but narrows briefly to 35 inches to accommodate the rear shock towers. I have the Mercedes rubber mat, but it only covers the portion of the trunk behind the rear seats. If you want to cover the entire area with the rear seats down, you'll need to go to Home Depot or Lowe's and find some plastic or rubber from which to make your own custom mat.

I've tossed my bike in the back of mine occasionally; it fits fine.

You can also just pop off the front wheel if you need more room...
