Overview

The 2019 Mercedes-Benz AMG SLC 43 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 $63,900. It competes directly with the BMW Z4, the Porsche 718 Boxster S, and the Jaguar F-TYPE P340. Only a 3.0L twin-turbocharged V6 engine is offered, mated to a 9-speed automatic transmission. Together, they produce 385 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 Designo Cardinal Red Metallic being a particular favorite of ours.
