RWD Mercedes-Benz GLK Exclusively For Canadians

Mercedes-Benz has been doing quite well in Canada with its 4Matic all-wheel drive system. In November, 80% of all its models were sold with 4Matic AWD.

So it’s a bit puzzling that Mercedes has announced the addition of a rear wheel drive trim level for the GLK. And it’s exclusively for us Canadians.

The hope, according to Mercedes, is that it will actually help introduce more buyers into the Mercedes-Benz brand. By having a model available with no AWD, Mercedes is able to have a cheaper starting price for the GLK.

The RWD version will start at $41,300. That’s two grand less than a GLK with 4Matic. It’s also the cheapest starting price for a compact SUV among Mercedes’ competitors which include BMW, Audi, Lexus and Infiniti.

So, would you opt for a RWD GLK to save a few bucks?
