Being sourced, built and designed for production in a German factory, I'd bet the GLK has a higher quality interior than the ML. There is something distinctly different about the U.S. made interiors compared to the German ones. They just don't feel the same, their quality isn't seamless compared to the German Benzes, meaning I shouldn't be able to tell the difference between say an ML and a E-Class. IMO it is the U.S. supplier chain or the German supplier in the U.S. selling MBUSI cheaper grade materials than they would in Germany. The difference isn't as dramatic as it was with the first ML compared to other MB's of that day, but there is still a difference there nevertheless.


Edit: The ML did just get a facelift so we'll see.
