Overview & Reviews

The 2009 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class receives a major update. One of the most noticeable changes is SL's aggressive new front styling. Each model also gains an array of new or improved standard features, as well as significant upgrades to the steering and the Active Body Control system. The biggest changes are on the SL63 AMG, which replaces the SL55. A new naturally aspirated 6.2-liter engine and an innovative multi-clutch seven-speed automatic transmission highlight the many dynamic improvements while the addition of the SL65 AMG Black Series pushes performance well past reasonable levels.

• Quick-stowing hardtop, thrilling performance, solid handling, compliant adjustable ride, convertible-friendly seats, spacious interior.

• The SL65 AMG is too powerful and too expensive for its own good, COMAND interface can be unintuitive.
