They kept the old body on it, but from the pictures you can see how the exhaust is one piece like the coupes. The front bottom grille also has a cutout which can mean it is boosted since there will be an intercooler. The car is wider and the interior is a little different. Looks like it will have a new dash and shift ****. I'm sure they are just using the old panels so they keep the design a secret.

why does everyone have a concern that it has to be turbo in order to work? A volkswagon had a 1.8T for years and that is a slow pig....

If you read their post, it's more likely them testing the diesel engine.

Yup, turbo diesel. The rpm guage makes it obvious that it's a diesel.

I guess they are making a diesel for the Euro market, it would be a tough sell here in the state.

Me too would stay away from any turbos.

As much as I like N/A, turbo would be better on gas with the same hp and more tq!

Likely not, assuming it's a Mercedes diesel. It'll have quite a bit more torque but also quite a bit less horsepower than our G37s.
According to car & driver
2013 Mercedes-Benz GLK to Get ”Significant” Face Lift, Optional Diesel Four
Quote:
For diesel enthusiasts, the GLK refresh brings good news in the form of a four-cylinder diesel. The engine we’ll see here displaces 2.1 liters; we’ll probably get the most powerful version offered in Europe, which has 204 hp and 369 lb-ft.

I know the diesel will be slower, and probably Euro only. But I was talking about the "G30t" they tradmarked. A 3.0 v6 turbo would be sweet.

Nice to know the body will be remaining unchanged.

No, the body will be changed. They kept the current gen body on that car to not attract attention
