Mercedes SLK-Class Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1996–2000) — First Generation
The first-generation Mercedes SLK-Class brought the folding hardtop roadster into everyday reach, pairing open-air driving with coupe security. Its compact two-seat body suits daily commuting as readily as weekend routes.
A typical Mercedes SLK-Class engine here is the 2.3-litre gasoline four, offered as 2.3 MT with a manual gearbox or 2.3 AT with an automatic. Both send power rearward, and that rear-wheel-drive layout gives the roadster its balanced, responsive feel. The manual rewards involvement; the automatic eases traffic.
