BRABUS-prepped Mercedes-Benz GLK



Specialist Mercedes-Benz aftermarket tuner BRABUS have turned their attention to the new GLK-class SUV with the launch of a customisation program that includes performance upgrades for all engine variants - petrol and diesel - and exclusive bodykits and bespoke wheels with matching suspension solutions, and exclusive interior options.


The performance upgrades for the turbo diesel model GLK 320 CDI 4MATIC and petrol-engined GLK 350 4MATIC bumps power by up to 35.3 and 11 kW respectively plus a healthy increase in torque to 590 Nm and 420 Nm while retaining EURO IV emission limits.

The exclusive bodykit features an aerodynamically enhanced front apron developed in the wind tunnel, incorporating daytime running lights as well as optional auxiliary high beams and fog lamps. The innovative two-piece BRABUS roof attachment with integrated LED position lights further upgrades the front of the GLK.

A wide range of tyre and wheel combinations are on offer with wheel sizes ranging from 17-21 inch in diameter as well as a plethora of interior enhancements.
