Used 2020 Mercedes-Benz SLC-Class Convertible Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2020 SLC comes in two basic flavors: the standard SLC 300 and the sporty AMG SLC 43. Feature highlights include:

SLC 300
Come standard with:

  • 241-horsepower four-cylinder engine
  • Power-retractable hardtop roof with glass panel
  • 17-inch wheels with summer performance tires
  • Blind-spot monitoring
  • Automatic emergency braking

AMG SLC 43
Adds to the SLC 300 with:

  • A 385-hp V6 engine
  • AMG sport exhaust
  • 18-inch wheels with summer performance tires
  • LED headlights
  • Harman Kardon audio system
  • Heated seats with Mercedes' Airscarf neck warmer
  • Dual-zone climate control
  • Keyless entry and ignition

Main options for the SLC:

  • Driver Assistance package (extra driver safety aids)
  • Multimedia package (navigation and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto)
  • AMG Handling package (sport suspension and limited-slip rear differential)
  • Magic Sky Control roof (adjusts the tinting of the roof-panel glass)

To celebrate the end of production, Mercedes-Benz is offering a limited-run SLC Final Edition for both the SLC 300 and the AMG SLC 43. Features include:

  • Final Edition badges inside and out
  • Unique paint and wheel options
  • A few otherwise optional features as standard

Which SLC-Class trim does Edmunds recommend?

While the SLC 300 offers a decent open-air experience, we suggest stepping up to the more powerful and much more engaging AMG 43 model. In addition to the twin-turbo V6, it comes with more standard equipment than the base model.
