It is a 2012 model but doesn't seem to be much different from 2011 model. The milage is a bit better and 0-100km is 6.5s now vs. 6.7s as I remember for 2011.

and at the bottom of the page, there is a link you can download the 2012 brochure.

Diesel GLK in 20??
transmission updated???
The highway milage is going from 21 in 2010-2011 models to 23 mpg for 2012. This suggests MB may have switched to the plus version of the 7 speed transmission they have been touting for all their other 2012 models. Yet MB is not saying anywhere in the initial webpages for the 2012 GLK what they did to squeeze more efficiency out of the power train.
Too bad the charcoal colored wood dash inlay did not get included for the 2012 USA GLKs.
The diesel 4 cylinder engine model is missing too.

I can tell you that the website is reflecting the 2012 pricing, for example the keyless go is much less then last year. I have my GLK 2012 on order, it is at port and I am so ready to drive it. They are saying it might be another few days until it is at the dealer.
The biggest plus to the 2012 in my opinion is the moving of the USB to the Center in the console instead of having it in the glove box.

Surprised that not more options are standard/cheaper. When I build 2012 GLK, it's 1500-2000 more expensive than 2010 model, which was the case in 2011 as well.
That's great for resale value besides the fact that 2010 model came out in January of 2009.

Just got news today that my 2012 will be delivered on as early as friday or monday, can't wait. I was going to buy one from the dealer under the 2011 promos however he could not find a 2011 model, so he matched the 2011 discounts and found me a 2012 and tagged it with my name. Has anyone had any experience with the wait time for delivery on one that is loaded on the truck today, How long more till it arrives at the dealer. I was doing some searching and it looks like the port is only 497 miles from my town in Indiania, so I hoping it comes on thursday and then I can pickup on friday! Let hope that's the case. I will put up a review as a new thread once I have had time to look and play with it.
Talk to you all later.

no black interior? alum roof rails as a option? no black wood trim inside? 20" wheels not standard...somehow I feel really good leaving up north as you can get all of those as standard options. Good thing I bought the 2011 and had a killer deal on it after seeing this brochure.

On the US site there is a black interior no problem, I ordered one. Also the other options that you mentioned have been options on the US model since 11 and most of them are included in the Premiuem 1 Package. The 20" and Roof Rails are in the appearance package. Just thought I would throw in my 2 cents.
