GLK was the better choice when I bought the 2010 one, and is still the better one when I bought the 2015 one recently. X3 and Q5, back then and now, still are not as good of a value as GLK. Plus I got a great trade-in price from the dealer for my 2010...

So far everything is perfect...except I notice 2015 GLK does not have headlight washing system Not that I mind but it's just strange that they had it on my 2010 with Xeon but not the 2015 one with same Xeon.

360 camera, AHA, ECO mode, colour driver LCD display, high-res navi screen, etc I love all the improvements they made since 2010

Overall, even though it seems silly to buy more-or-less the same car but it is still a better choice IMO than X3, Q3 or Q5.

What was wrong with 2010 GLK?

Does the 360 camera and AHA(?) come standard?

Congratulations on the purchase! Have you noticed that the rockers, a source of complaints about making clothes dirty on earlier models, are narrower on the 2015? I thought there was a difference when I drove a 2015 loaner earlier this year.

The 2010 one was mostly OK, but mileage was a bit high (116K km).

It had the alternator and battery replaced (out of warranty). A couple months ago while driving on highway it threw out a battery charge error code and the driver display lit up all red. The car still worked fine with the code on and it went away after a restart. I figure I don't want to deal with the potential issue and decided to sell it.

360 comes with the avantgarde plus package. AHA (adaptive high-beam assist) was an option. I didn't ask for it but they had one in the lot with it already installed so I took it. AHA was only $250 CDN anyway.

lol I notice the rockers too, My pants are clean!

I also notice the windshield wipers are much better now. Water don't get "dragged" back to the driver's line of sight, and the wiper arms are hollowed out for lighter weight and better aerodynamics.

I am really impressed by all the improvements they made since 2010. It feels like a totally different car.

Tate-post some shots for us! (And make me jealous of all the lack-of-frozen-white stuff you have compared to me)

Congrats on the new purchase. Did you get the wood trim or the aluminum? The wood looks very nice against the updated silver vents!

Tate, congrats on the 15 and clean pants too

You've got the best of the GLK pre "dinner roll" upgrade for 16 as well. I had a long look at the x3 and although would have liked the extra few inches in length the MB was a much better package imho..


Go on post some pics....

I have Sahara Beige with Burl Walnut Wood Trim. It looks great. They don't offer the aluminum trim in Canada anymore

Yeah, hard to tell if that's a weird transient or an actual problem. Is 116KM considered high to you?? My 2010 GLK is my 8th MB and I usually sell them somewhere North of 150,000 miles because the buyers enjoy getting a broken in relatively low mileage Mercedes. I guess perspective is a funny thing.
