Spyshots: Next Generation Mercedes GLK

This heavily camouflaged test prototype is actually the next generation of the GLK premium compact SUV. Now, the current generation recent received a facelift and this new model is at least a year away from being revealed, but that doesn't mean we don't know anything about it.

The new GLK will be based on the same platform as the new C-Class, the W205. The model will be slightly roomier than the current model to make more room for the new GLA crossover.

Stuttgart is not known for disappointing car design, and this is not going to be any different. Huge headlights flank a the new Mercedes grille, which protrudes outwards like on the new E- and S-Class.

The rear is not so sexy though. In the era of the Sports Activity Coupe, this is more of a Sports Activity Box in order to maximize cargo space. But the GLK has always been the serious man's Mercedes, so I guess this isn't a surprise.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
