Overview

The 2019 Mercedes-Benz AMG SLC-Class makes for an excellent contender in the subcompact convertible class. With standalone SLC 300 trim on offer, the Mercedes-Benz AMG SLC Class has a base MSRP of $48,950. It competes directly with the BMW Z4, the Porsche 718 Boxster, and the Jaguar F-TYPE. Only a 2.0L turbocharged Inline-4 engine is offered, mated to a 9-speed automatic transmission. Together, they produce 241 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 5.8 seconds, the SLC-Class maintains a combined fuel economy of 27 MPG. Mercedes-Benz offers the SLC-Class in 11 stunning colors, with the Designo Cardinal Red Metallic being a particular favorite of ours.

Buying Advice

The Mercedes-Benz SLC Class Convertible is not the best convertible in performance aspects and it lacks some desired features. Hence, you should opt for the $2,800 Premium Package and the $2,250 Multimedia Package to get heated front seats, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, dual-zone automatic climate control, blind-spot monitoring, and more.
