Exclamation Auto Zeitung - BMW X3 3.0si vs Mercedes GLK 350

The GTI of the SUV versus the new GLK...



Mercedes GLK vs. BMW X3 - Vergleichstest - Autozeitung.de

Very good start for the new GLK: more dynamic, better performances with more weight and the same hp, better brakes, and as usual, posibly better confort (some german speaker can confirm that?).

Certainly is a great car

Just a remark: GLK featured an optional Sport-package, while X3 didn't - it was a standard X3. The author said they looked forward to test equally equipped vehicle: so, both with, or both without Sport-package.

Although it's true X3 is showing its age - especially the tech (except the engines) is dated.

X3 wasn't just beaten, it was destroyed. And the GLK is cheaper to boot.

Re: Auto Zeitung - BMW X3 3.0si vs Mercedes GLK 350

How is it possible that such a new car as the GLK manages to drink that much? Had it not beaten the pre-historic X3 in every possible sense I would have been surprized...

A shame they could not compare equally equipped vehicles. The GLK must win anyway but it would have been more legit.

BTW, the GLK is just as ugly as the X3. Wait, i know, it looks like a transvestite Geländewagen... ouch...

Hardly a surprise, the X3 is old as my grandmother so the conclusion is obvious.

Its between the Q5 and GLK, not the X3...

Forgive me but I thought any BMW that bears an "s" on the badge designated it as the sport model. Am I to believe that this is not true?

Not really. Anyway ... "s" designation is about to go.

"s" in 3.0si just means the engine is boosted from previous version (3.0i): 272HP instead of 258 / 265HP.
