Mercedes-Benz first debuted their GLK SUV at the Beijing Auto Show in 2008. The GLK from Mercedes was slated to go head to head with the Audi Q5 – and while the GLK has received moderate success in the market, Audi’s Q5 has taken a far larger share.

To remedy the lackluster sales and compete with the new Q5, Mercedes is working on a redesign of their compact luxury SUV – replacing the current boxy design with a sexier sportier design that fits in with Mercedes’ current lineup. Thanks to our good friend Andrus, we have the first spy photos of the next-gen GLK prototype testing.

The GLK prototype, hot weather testing in Death Valley, is heavily dressed in camo, but we can see anew wider grille with larger overall body and longer wheelbase, likely making room for the soon to launch GLA-Class.
