RPMs on The GLK High or Low?

I have noticed that at 110Km/hr the rpm are around 2000. Thats seems a bit high for a 7 speed tranny or is this normal?

I will be on the highway this afternoon i will check mine at the same speed and let you know but it seems just right not high and not low. You are right it is 7 speed but the ratio of gears are small.

I too think it's a bit high for a 7 speed but not as bad as my 02 ML500 which ran 2800 at 70mph.

I don't think the GLK is too bad. I drove a Maurano which has a CVT (continuously variable transmission), and it is around 2200 rpm at 110km/hr.
