New Entry Level Mercedes Benz SL 400 Drops Price Range by Over $20K
As one of the premier deluxe droptops from Mercedes-Benz, the SL-Class has actually never been an affordable proposition. Yet the German brand is making it a little bit much more easily accessible for the 2015 design year with its brand-new SL400. The new entry-level model has actually quietly shown up on Mercedes’ customer site, and rates begins at $84,000, plus the common $925 destination fee. While that’s still a great deal of cash, it’s a large price cut, ringing up at a whopping $22,900 less compared to the $107,825 SL550.
Think of that financial savings as over $11,000 each cylinder, as the SL400 does away with V8 power in favor of a 3.0-liter, twin-turbo V6 with 329 horsepower and also 354 pound-feet of torque and also seven-speed automatic rated at 20 miles each gallon city as well as 27 mpg freeway. Those numbers are roughly ONE HUNDRED hp as well as 160 lb-ft less than the SL550. Still, the brand-new model can get to 60 miles each hour in a fast 5.1 seconds, compared to 4.5 for the its large sibling.
The good news is, buyers don’t need to give up the optional deluxes that makes the SL unique to get the less expensive model. The Air Scarf comes as component of the $4,900 Premium Package, Distronic adaptive boat trip control is available as component of the $2,950 Motorist Support Package deal as well as Benz’s smart dimming Magic Sky Control roof is a separate alternative for $2,500. If the idea of a Mercedes-branded folding hardtop convertible that gives up a little power for a lot less cash seems good to you, then you’re thinking like we are…a Bizzee auto enthusiast!
