Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class

The GLK-Class borrows the appearance of Mercedes' larger sport-utility vehicles but is actually a very manageable size for city-dwellers. The utility has a powerful 268-horsepower V6, car-like independent suspension and upright 8-way power-adjustable seating, featuring a decidedly car-like experience. 23 cubic feet of cargo space in back means it's practical as well. Fold the rear seat down and that space more than doubles to 54 cubic feet. Available 4MATIC 4-wheel drive provides all-weather sure-footedness. Starting price on the GLK-Class is under $38,000.
