I received this via email from the company today, thought it might be of interest. Sorry about the formatting during the paste.
"You have already got to know the personality of the Vision GLK, whose striking appearance is already making waves. But the pioneering vision of the Mercedes-Benz compact premium SUV is not just evident in its expressive design and exceptional driving characteristics.
Mercedes-Benz is presenting “TrueBlueSolutions” in its compact premium SUV, the Vision GLK BLUETEC HYBRID, at the Geneva Motor Show from 4 to 16 March.
The Vision GLK BLUETEC HYBRID unites the new generation of BLUETEC four-cylinder diesel engines with a hybrid module, providing performance that is just as impressive as ever. So get an idea of the Vision GLK BLUETEC HYBRID right now.
With consumption of just 5.9 l diesel/100 km and emissions of 157 g CO2 per kilometre, the Vision GLK BLUETEC HYBRID accelerates from 0–100 km/h in just 7.3 seconds. Its top speed is 215 km/h. The Vision GLK BLUETEC HYBRID has the highest total torque in its class in the world, with the lowest CO2 emission rates.

Thanks to AdBlue injection, up to 80% of nitrogen oxides are converted into harmless nitrogen and water, meaning the Vision GLK BLUETEC HYBRID fulfils even the strictest emissions criteria, such as the US norm BIN5.

The hybrid module, a disc-shaped electric engine, increases environmental sustainability and the efficiency of the drive train. It supports the combustion engine in the acceleration phase and stores power from the braking process – fully automatically, of course.
Yours sincerely,
The Mercedes-Benz team
