The next generation of Mercedes-Benz GLK won’t have a AMG variant


The next generation of the smallest SUV in the current range of Mercedes-Bentz will not have an AMG performant variant. The hypothesis was launched by an AMG division official.

The next generation of Mercedes-Bentz GLK is scheduled for 2015 and it will be based on the MRA platform, also used by the E-Klasse model. The fans of performant versions with AMG logo will be disappointed. AMG officials say that the next GLK will not be based on the AMG variant. “At this point we believe that there is no market for such a model”, says Tobias Moers, chief of AMG models development.

 Moers added that the situation could change after the launch of the rival model, Porsche Macan, but right now the chances of making a GLK AMG for the next generation are very thin.
