The vehicle's design was heavily influenced by the Mercedes-Benz C-Class.
The GLK-Class shares the C-Class (W204) platform, and production plans continued after the demise of the similar Smart Formore. The vehicle was unveiled in Auto China 2008.
European models went on sale in June 30, 2008, with deliveries began in the autumn. Early German models included GLK 220 CDI 4Matic BlueEfficiency, GLK 320 CDI 4Matic, GLK 280 4Matic, GLK 350 4Matic. GLK Edition 1 models are based on V6 engine models, but include exterior sports package, 20-inch wheels, Easy-Pack tailgate and specially coloured privacy glass in the rear compartment, interior sports package, black/white nappa leather seats from the designo range, AMG multifunction leather steering wheel, a black roof lining, exclusive aluminium trim elements and the Command APS system, calcite white body colour.
GLK 220 CDI BlueEfficiency, GLK 220 CDI 4Matic BlueEfficiency, GLK 300 4Matic, GLK 250 CDI 4Matic BlueEfficiency were introduced in 2009.
At launch in Germany and North America, the car was offered in all-wheel drive only, though a rear-wheel drive only version was added to the range.
The GLK-Class is not sold in RHD markets such as the United Kingdom and Australia, due to a driveshaft used to operate the front wheels on 4WD versions of the GLK. It is positioned such that it encroaches slightly on the right-hand-side footwell.
