The 2023 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class, marking the start of its seventh generation, astonishes with a sleek redesign that reconnects it to its long, storied history as a luxury roadster. Power comes from a choice of bi-turbo V8 engines, outputting 476 horsepower in the SL 55 or 585 horsepower in the SL 63, both getting mated to a nine-speed automatic transmission. It offers standard AMG Performance 4MATIC+ fully variable All-Wheel Drive. The SL-Class finally substitutes its retractable hard-top for a fabric-roof again, signaling a return to its roots. On the inside, the MBUX infotainment system dominates the cabin with a standard 5.5-inch digital instrument panel and a 11.9-inch centrally mounted touchscreen, compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Additionally, it introduces an array of advanced safety systems like active brake assist, blind-spot assist, and lane-keeping assist. This new version brings SL back to the embodiment of sheer elegance and sportiness.
