2022 Mercedes-AMG SL55 Trims & Specs

Elsewhere, there are more junior models with fewer cylinders, but in the US, the AMG SL55 represents the entry point to the SL-Class range. Now a wholly-AMG-developed product, power comes from a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 pushing 469 hp and 516 lb-ft to all four corners via a nine-speed automatic. All-wheel drive, all-wheel steering, and optional adaptive ride control all add to its surefooted nature, while a retractable soft-top and four seats make it a luxurious but also semi-practical companion for the well-heeled. In standard form, amenities like 20-inch alloys with summer tires and active aerodynamics look good and function better, while occupants live the luxe life thanks to power front seats with heating, ventilation, and massage function, dual-zone automatic climate control, Airscarf neck-level heating, and a heated steering wheel. A new portrait-oriented touchscreen measures 11.9 inches diagonally and works in tandem with a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster to bring you all the info you need via MBUX software.
