What Mercedes-Benz GLK do most buyers choose?
The Mercedes-Benz GLK years with the most listings are 2014 and 2015.
| Model Year | Total Listings | Good + Great Deals % |
|---|---|---|
| 2014 | 395 | 31.9% |
| 2015 | 296 | 32.4% |
Higher-volume years often draw more shoppers because you get more inventory to compare, which can make it easier to find the right color, mileage, and price combination. They also tend to be the years where deal opportunities are easiest to spot because there are simply more listings in the mix.
What is the Mercedes-Benz GLK's resale value?
| Model Year | Current Avg. Price | Year-Over-Year Change |
|---|---|---|
| 2014 | $10,517 | −9.76% |
| 2015 | $11,814 | −6.99% |
Prices are lower than they were a year ago for both model years, which can work in your favor if you're shopping used. The larger drop appears in one year, while the other shows a smaller decline, so recent GLK pricing has moved down across the board. That makes the model appealing if you want a luxury SUV with softened asking prices.
The 2015 and 2014 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
Should I buy a used Mercedes-Benz GLK now?

Enjoying this car. Class-leading power even beyond its more modern equivalent models. Offers some luxury features like power tilt and telescoping steering wheel not currently available throughout most of its class. The cruise control is simple to operate and adaptable for long highway drives. While the vehicles lacks some of the more modern tech, the aftermarket upgrades now available exceed what the factory offered during the original model year such as backup camera and Android Auto/Apple Carplay. The boxy architecture, weighted, well-planted drive gives the feel of a miniature G-Wagon which was the original design intent. So far, its looking like an excellent used car value with considerable more power and luxury features compared to a same model years Audi Q5 or BMW X3.
