Used 2022 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class Convertible Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2022 Mercedes-Benz AMG SL luxury convertible has seating for four passengers. It's available in two trims: AMG SL 55 and AMG SL 63. The AMG SL 55 is powered by a turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine (469 horsepower, 516 lb-ft of torque) that is paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. The AMG SL 63 tweaks the same engine to increase output to 577 hp and 590 lb-ft. Standard and optional feature highlights include:

AMG SL 55
Comes well equipped with:

  • 20-inch wheels
  • Power-folding fabric roof
  • Rear spoiler
  • Power trunklid
  • Rear-wheel steering (enhances low-speed maneuverability and steering response)
  • Adaptive suspension (helps improve ride comfort and handling stability)
  • Heated and ventilated front seats
  • Heated steering wheel
  • Digital instrument panel
  • 11.9-inch infotainment touchscreen
  • Navigation system
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration (both with wireless connectivity)
  • Wireless charging pad
  • Burmester surround-sound audio
  • Satellite radio

Standard driver assist features include:

  • Frontal collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Blind-spot warning (alerts you if a vehicle in the next lane over is in your blind spot)
  • Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the vehicle and its surroundings for tight parking situations)
  • Front and rear parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible in front of or behind the vehicle when parking)
  • Automated parking system (steers into a parking spot with little or no driver intervention)
  • Driver attention monitor

AMG SL 63
The higher-performing AMG SL 63 is outfitted identically to the SL 55 with a few additional enhancements such as:

  • Electronic limited-slip differential (helps maximize available traction during hard acceleration)
  • Upgraded suspension for improved control and stabilization
  • Special high-performance apps

Both SL trims are available with the Driver Assistance package. It includes:

  • Adaptive cruise control (adjusts speed to maintain a constant distance between the vehicle and the car in front)
  • Lane keeping assistance (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)
  • Evasive steering assistance (enhances the forward collision mitigation system with steering-based collision avoidance)
  • Front cross-traffic alert
  • Emergency stop assist (senses if the driver is incapacitated and automatically stops the vehicle and summons emergency services)
  • Active speed limit assist (automatically adjusts the cruise control to match speed limits)

Other stand-alone options include:

  • Carbon-ceramic brakes (provides better resistance to brake fade during high-performance driving)
  • Head-up display (displays important information in your sight line on the windshield)
  • Augmented reality navigation overlay
  • 17-speaker premium audio
  • Gesture control (allows you to use hand gestures to operate certain infotainment functions)

Which SL-Class trim does Edmunds recommend?

The entry-level AMG SL 55 is anything but basic as it includes all of the AMG SL 63's non-performance features. It has more than enough power to please any driver and costs $40,000 less than the SL 63. To that, we'd add the optional Driver Assistance package for its added assurance but also for the adaptive cruise control.
