2012 GLK-Class is almost absolutely unchanged, except some minor revisions and new colors. You can see complete and FULL specifications with packages, options and color codes here: 2012 Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class changes and updates.. There are some really new good choices for the exterior color paint...

Well the article you link is wrong about the new engine. The GLK is getting the new Direct Injected 3.5L engine from all that I'm reading. USA models will now get the Euro 20" wheel. The other has been dropped. There will be new colors (a new Blue, Red and White has been added, the older colors are gone.) and a few changes to the front and rear bumpers and tails. (Full LED) There is a rumor about a turbocharged engine as well. It's most likely a 4 banger (which most likely will not be coming to our shores) but some say there may be a Turbo-V6 as well... (AMG Power in a DI Turbo V6 maybe?) That would be sweet!

2012 GLK



With a much nicer steering wheel (optional wood ) and newer updated dash too! Better steering wheel controls.. and elsewhere. It's a copy of Audi/VW command steering wheel controls.

I don't know where you get all your info (from all that you reading) but you need to give me a link to your sources... Because the steering wheel on your GLK above image is obviously photo-shopped. I don't need to be far-sighted to see the strokes of the brush...

Looks like that's actually the interior for a 2012 CLS rather than the 2012 GLK. More info in this thread:

This same source was spot on with the changes coming to the E350/E550.

The interior photos above are from the CLS.

I work for MB Canada now and I can tell you guys for the Canadian market, the 2012 GLK is not getting a new engine. Media Interface relocated to centre console, 20 single disc CD player replaces 6 disc changer, and new white, blue, green colors options. Some of the packages will be new but most revised.

That is great news! I just got my 2011 GLK a little over a month and I'd be really upset if there was a major upgrade for the GLK in 2012.

Don't worry, I don't think we'll see any refresh until 2014 or so

Just doesn't make sense to me, to put these cars out there, if they are really going to look like that after 40k miles.
It's because DI engines meet the new EPA fuel requirements, better mileage, cleaner burning, less pollution. I guess that progress does have it's tradeoffs!
