2013 GLK 350
Amazingly refined Mocha interior
I will try to take some photos today. I am a male and I have to say the mocha leather, BEST decision. My GLK is not the cleanest right now, however I will post a few photos. There is yellowish cabling (I think it is called) around the seats. Honestly from top to bottom, I could not be happier with the mocha leather. Really sharp and some I consider a refreshing color change. My GLK 350 is Cuprite Brown by the way. regardless, I would get the mocha leather. The color is not extremely dark, its almost like a lite chocolate, not a sand color and not like a dark color, however a really nice milk chocolate color. I am talking about the leather interior

This is the nicest photo I've found of the Mocha leather interior. By the way, I think you meant "piping" rather than cabling.

Thank you very much for the comments and the pictures. I want to get pebble grey metallic exterior but not sure about the interior. I am torn between mocha leather and almond/mocha MB-tex.

I have MB TEX and I love it...everyone thinks its leather...but its much more durable and easy to clean and maintain. if your in situations where other people and their actions inside your car terrify you, then you should really consider the MB TEX...theres nothing wrong with that.
BTW the mocha looks outstanding!!!

In addition I've heard some people, with the Pano. roof, mention that the Almond color sun shades let in too much light when closed. The Mocha interior has the black or dark grey shades (to match the headliner) which may help with that situation. This is for U.S. market vehicles. Maybe other markets have different color combinations or options.

The Mocha does look very good in that photo but it is an M-B publicity photo so lighting, color saturation etc. is all optimized to make it look its very best. Still, it's also nice in person.

Hey, they're similar! Pipes... cables... they're all there to transport something - or not, in the case of seating trim :-)

Just wish that MB would offer ventilated seats & not just heated seats as an option in the GLK. Saab had them back in '98 in the 9-5 & out here in the Southwest, they would be very nice.

Hard to believe they don't off vent. seats for the U.S. It seems they do for some other markets.

Went to see the GLK with almond/mocha MB-Tex interior. It actually looks pretty good, the 2 tone grows on me a lot. At least the steering wheel is mocha color.

I ended up getting a black interior. I had wanted Mocha or Almond, but the center console always being black regardless of interior color resulted in a "two tone" effect that turned me off.

Mocha leather photos....
Hopefully you can get the detail from the photos I've included here from my 2013 GLK.. Really great color, super nice look. Well beyond what I expected to see.
The images did get scaled down, I took the photos with my iphone. Really a great color choice, my exterior is Cuprite Brown, which is really sharp as well. It doesn't pop, however it has an excellent look. Really like the color both inside and out! Hope the photos help.

Dromesburg's pictures show the color well. Depending on the how the light shines on the interior the mocha color can look darker brown, the following are from my interior for comparison.

Beautiful interior with the light coloured piping. Now if MB would only offer it in 2014 with ventilated seats (not air conditioned) that would be fantastic.

Glk 350
Anyone order a GLK 2014 in that gorgeous diamond white with the mocha two-toned interior.
They are telling me that my delivery won't be til September I don't know if I want to wait that long? Price is with premium 1 package multimedia package and keyless heated seats. My dream car. Price to be negotiated totaled 49,100.00. How much should I pay? Internet discount is 2,000.00 but I am trying to come up with a offer of what I plan to pay. Help! Any suggestions on what to do?
