Overview

The 2017 Mercedes-Benz AMG SLC 43 Convertible makes for an excellent contender in the subcompact convertible class. With standalone trim on offer, the Mercedes-Benz AMG SLC 43 has a base MSRP of $60,300. It competes indirectly with compact convertibles such as the Porsche 718 Boxster S Convertible and the Jaguar F-TYPE Convertible (Premium). Only a 3.0L twin-turbocharged V6 engine is offered, mated to a 9-speed automatic transmission. Together, they produce 362 horsepower and 384 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 4.6 seconds, the AMG SLC 43 maintains a combined fuel economy of 23 MPG. Mercedes-Benz offers the AMG SLC 43 in 12 stunning colors, with the Brilliant Blue Metallic being a particular favorite of ours.

Buying Advice

The AMG SLC 43 comes in a single, well-equipped trim level that boasts some mechanical enhancements like 18-inch wheels, larger brakes, sportier transmission tuning, a sport suspension, a sport body kit, a rear spoiler, and a performance exhaust.
