2013 Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class Facelift: Spy Photos

The engineers from Merceds are hard at work testing a facelifted version of the Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class compact SUV introduced as a 2010 model. The facelifted GLK will probably enter to the market as a 2013 model being more stylish and efficiently.

You can see in the prototypes shots new (masked) bumpers, both at the front and rear. Expect to see the hard-edged details of the current model softened a little, with the curvier look of the new 2012 Mercedes-Benz M-Class being adopted.

The model will probably have his hard-edges softened and this will be especially true for the headlights, which on this prototype also appear to feature new LED elements.

Speaking about engine lineup, on this 2013 Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class, there’s a chance a new entry-level GLK250 model will pick up the highly efficient turbocharged and direct injected 1.8-liter found in the 2012 Mercedes-Benz C-Class range. Output should be the same 201 horsepower and 229 pound-feet of torque as found in the C250, but this isn’t sure yet.

The new Mercedes-Benz GLK350 model should remain, though this is likely to adopt Mercedes’ latest 302 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque 3.5-liter V-6–an upgrade of 34 horsepower and 15 pound-feet over the previous V-6. If we’re lucky, a BlueTECdiesel model will be offered too.

Still, for the moment, we don’t know when the model will be released, but we all waiting for, definetly.
