The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs roughly the same to get the Mercury Mountaineer to the dealership as the Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class. The Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class will save you money at the pump compared to the Mountaineer. The Mountaineer isn't much less costly than the Mercedes-Benz regarding MSRP.

Utility
The Mercury Mountaineer will quite certainly prove friendlier than the Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class for those of you with frequent kid-cargo. Towing is considerably more the Mercury Mountaineer's forte than it is the Mercedes-Benz's.

Convenience
You'll quite certainly have to take the Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class for a fill-up more often than the Mercury Mountaineer because of its tank size and fuel economy.

Comfort
While the rear of the Mercury Mountaineer offers a bit more head- and leg-room than the GLK-Class, there honestly isn't much of a difference.

Dimensions
Your wallet will hurt more every time you fill up the Mercury Mountaineer than the Mercedes-Benz because of its bigger tank. The Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class and the Mercury Mountaineer compete for the same parking spaces.

Handling
With their similar turning radii, the Mercury Mountaineer and the Mercedes-Benz most certainly handle roughly the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The GLK-Class's engine is considerably smaller than the Mercury Mountaineer's. Bear in mind that smaller engines can be stressed more; on the other hand, smaller engines typically get better gas mileage. Torque is the force that lets you accelerate quickly, and in this respect, the GLK-Class isn't much more powerful than the Mercury.

Warranty
The basic warranty that comes with the Mountaineer isn't quite as generous as the Mercedes-Benz's.
