Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class

The Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class (X204) was a compact luxury SUV sold from 2009 to 2015. Built on the W204 C-Class platform, its sharp, boxy styling was a direct nod to the iconic G-Wagen and set it apart from curvier rivals. In the US, the primary model was the GLK 350 with a V6 and optional 4MATIC all-wheel drive. A mid-cycle refresh for 2013 introduced updated styling, a revised interior, and the torquey GLK 250 BlueTEC diesel model.

While not yet a classic, the GLK's distinct design has found a following among enthusiasts who appreciate its unique aesthetic in a sea of homogenous crossovers. It represents a specific era of Mercedes design that has aged gracefully. The post-facelift (2013-2015) models, especially the efficient diesel and V6s with the AMG Sport Package, are the most sought-after for their blend of modern features and throwback looks.

The GLK market is firmly in the affordable used-car category, with an average price around $12,204. Its wide price spread reflects the vast differences in condition, mileage, and specification across the 59 sales tracked. It's a practical and stylish entry point for modern Mercedes ownership, offering durability and a unique presence that later models lack.

Prices range from $1,500 for project cars to $38,000 for low-mileage, top-spec examples.
