The 2017 Mercedes-Benz SLC, successor to the SLK, represents the first generation under its rechristened name. This rear-wheel drive roadster offers two trims: the 241-hp SLC 300 and the AMG SLC 43 with a 362-hp twin-turbo V6. Both models come with a 9-speed automatic transmission. Some key attractions are its retractable hard top, sharp handling, and abundance of tech features. The vehicle offers an infotainment system with a 7-inch screen, Bluetooth, and options for Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, or a Harman Kardon surround sound system. Safety features include standard Attention Assist and optional features such as the Blind Spot Assist and Lane Keeping Assist among others. The 2017 SLC saw the introduction of a redesigned front end sporting a more aggressive look.
