2. The SLK-Class is the baby sports-car in the
Mercedes-Benz range.
It was the first 2-seater on the market with a
re-tractable folding hardtop, providing coupe-like
safety as well as comfort. The fold-down
hardtop is easily activated.

direct-injection V6 teamed with a paddle-shifted

‘automatic stop/start’ and cylinder de-activation
to improve fuel economy.

head restraints, tire pressure monitoring,
stability and traction control, anti-lock brakes

emergency communication system.

4. Comments from International Motor Publications
1. "In other respects, the SLK is the consummate luxury hardtop convertible, as long as you
don't mind driving a pint-sized car instead of something like the relatively imposing SL.
Indeed, that's the only real compromise the SLK demands. If you're looking for a small
roadster with a grand-touring pedigree, the SLK is hard to beat." -- AutoTrader
2. "But with its noble lineage and well-rounded nature, the 2014 Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class
will always be a strong draw in this small segment. And for those who prefer not to pay SL
money for a luxury convertible, the comparatively affordable Mercedes SLK just might be
the next best thing." -- Edmunds
3. "Now in its third generation, the latest SLK provides a much better balance between
handling and comfort while continuing to offer the versatile hardtop convertible
configuration that made the original a hit." -- Left Lane News
4. "The latest generation of Mercedes' 2-seater is larger and roomier than past models, and
its exterior design has matured into something truly elegant yet aggressive. A variety of
engines - from a small and efficient 4-cylinder to a mighty AMG V8 - enable the 2014 SLK's
performance to range from competent to blistering. Dynamically it still feels softer than
the corner-carving Porsche Boxster, but the SLK's emphasis on comfort and prestige
should come as no surprise for any car wearing the vaunted 3-Pointed Star, and those
traits only add to this roadster's overall appeal." -- Kelley Blue Book
