There are even many optional features that are available for 2015 Mercedes-Benz GLK350 that drivers of a base Audi Q5 will be unable to get.

A Higher Level of Safety

The 2015 Mercedes-Benz GLK350 is one of the safest vehicles on the road, and while the 2015 Audi Q5 is no slouch when it comes to safety, it simply can’t match the extremely high standard set by the 2015 Mercedes-Benz GLK350.

The automotive media has taken notice of the safety features. U.S. News and World Report gave the 2015 Mercedes-Benz GLK350 a safety score a 10 out of 10. To be fair, the Audi Q5 earned a 9.3, but it was once again short of the mark set by the 2015 Mercedes-Benz GLK350.
