Boundlessly good: the GLK will get you to your destination on the road or far from it. Short front and rear overhangs, good ground clearance and the 4MATIC permanent all-wheel drive mean this compact all-round talent will cut a good figure everywhere, and not just on gravel parking lots.

If you want, you can choose the optional off-road engineering package as well. This includes, among other things, an optical sump shield and underbody protection. It helps reduce damage which can for example be caused by flying grains of sand or gravel. And the touch of a button makes targeted changes to the drive characteristics to further improve the vehicle's off-road capability.
