The 2022 Mercedes-AMG SL55 Is A Dramatic Redo Of An Iconic German Roadster

- For decades, wealthy individuals looking to show off their success have flocked to a #MercedesBenzSL. However, when #MercedesAMG introduced the AMG GT Roadster and S-Class Cabriolet, the #SLClass became a little obsolete in the #MercedesBenz lineup. For 2022, the #SL55 and #SL63 are reborn courtesy of the #MercedesAMGSL. Now exclusively built by #AMG, the new version rides on a new platform that will also underpin the next generation #AMGGT and after being absent for years, the #SL55AMG returns as the base version with nearly 500 HP and standard 4Matic+ AWD.

We haven’t been this in love with an SL-Class since the late 90’s, early 2000’s era. Mercedes-AMG definitely nailed the design. Would you guys get this over a comparable Porsche 911?
100% id get the over a Beetle
No, I’d get a 911 for sure. I’d need to drive both to be sure though. I prefer the car with better dynamics and the SL is too heavy for me.
Nope, Porsche for sure.
No, and I’d get an 8 Series over it to. The interior just looks tight.
No. I'd still get the Porsche, probably drives better because its lighter, and I prefer a vehicle that dosen't have an iPad tacked on it.
I like the color of the one you got. That blue whould look great in the sun.
Thanks for having us on the video!
my god, that car looks like a million bucks.
Amazing for plastic.
lucky as that is how much you need over time to own one.
Warranty will be fine.
This interior - with the gauge screen still separated from the center console - looks better than other MB interiors with screen overload. Overall, this car is absolutely gorgeous.
The only thing they messed up on is the roof. It should be a hard top not fabric
Absolutely!!!
this model fits the convertible perfectly, I would drive with the top down if I got the chance to drive it.
The hard top would look nicer but it also adds weight, and the mechanism is more complex + likely to fail over time.
@@caglioso Bingo!!! Which is why I hate moonroofs..
Agreed. The selling point over Porsche
After they killed of my beloved W222 S-Class Coupe, I'm now back in love with MB coupes, which was something that was a hallmark of the brand for decades. This car is exquisite. MB-AMG seemingly blended sport, luxury, and presence altogether. And due to the meancing front end and curvaceous body, it shows so well in the more exotic AMG color palate than the typical silvers and blacks associated with MB and German cars.
No they killed the coupe 😕😳😢🥺😭Mercedes streaming down..I like the coupe it's bigger than this..convertibles are seasonal..coupes are 4 ever..😔
“Have they done enough to make the AMG class desirable again.” Absolutely. AWD, better suspension, and improved handling.
Mercedes direction with just sticking that tablet crap in all their cars is just bleh. It's easily been the most talked about and controversial thing in their new interiors and for good reason. It gets loaded with fingerprints, dust, and it looks like an after thought. Their old dual screen layout with the gauge cluster and the infotainment side by side was so clean with physical metal buttons for the climate and a physical volume control. Auto manufactures think this is what people want when people just want stuff that works.
Agree, no one can say they don’t make great interior, but the new style of infotainment just feels like it intrudes on the design and makes it less elegant feeling. Well integrated tech is better than simply more tech!
Gotta start wearing gloves to avoid them prints 😂
unfortunately it's the new trend. And manufacturers love the idea since it's a cheap cost cutting tablet that's "breakthrough tech"
@@omidnamin9004 Considering most people today are glued to a screen it’s funny to hear them bitch about one in the car
I agree, interior looked wonderful then tablet made it look cheap somehow. Didn't like that it sat on top of the dash instead of tilting back into the dash. Interior felt even more crowded
its so beautufil cant put it into words
I'm not really a Mercedes fan, but Damn, I would love have this as my daily driver.
Glad they gave this car a new generation!
Wow! Such a beautiful car! Love that blue color: Great video as always!!
Love the genuine back seat review. This is so important to me making a decision to purchase a new SL55. Thankyou.
interior looks excellent. seems to be a good value too.
Cool color.
I used to own a 99 SLK, loved that car.
I feel weird for feeling the need to say this, but thank you for not using any sort of mean or demeaning words when a cop happens to make an appearance during your filming. I guess in today’s climate I almost expect it. But I’m a police officer and also probably one of your biggest fans 😂 So thank you and as always keep up the good work!
My fave model is from the mid 2000s
I've always wanted a 2000s SL AMG.
It looks absolutely brilliant imo, definitely gonna be a future classic.
Delusional has found it’s match 💪
@@touraneindanke You can't afford it, don't worry
Great review!
That is one of my favorite colors on any car
That thing is absolutely gorgeous.
I hate hate all the screens and touch buttons and crap. In everything, not just this.
Finally, SL has 4 wheel drive. Nearly a perfect for me.
That color is amazing!
I love this car already
I haven't been a fan of what MB has been doing lately, but this thing looks great.
I love this car a LOT. Perhaps the best looking SL since the R129.
Gorgeous car
Sexy Benz!! Just wish it had a hardtop instead and a smaller infotainment screen. What they have going on is a little busy
#165 on the likes! Got in early this time, keep up the good work redline reviews!
Omg 😳.. beautiful car inside and out...
don't know if it's this blue color or the tail light design but this SL iteration actually looks quite edgy like LC500 or current day Supra.. definite refresh here -that's good enough for SL still while retaining its business luxury acumen. there's also the amg gt selections in the mix for more major dabbling!
This is all so much better than the direction BMW's going...their design/vision is just delusional.
nice color The atmosphere is also beautiful
Show me one bmw that sounds beastly like this MBZ..IM IN LOVE
I really wanted the hardtop version of this drivetrain! All wheel drive and some security designed features. Still I do like this and what AMG/MB have done here.
Great review, thank you. I suggest that it would be great if you offer good pictures to download, nobody does. About this SL great looking car when closed, but an awkward looking one when the top goes down.
That car is just amazing!
So glad to see Jared on here 🤘
Future Classic! SL63 is a Monster 3.12Sec 0-60 good lord.
What a car man what an engine..
I love this 😍😍
The turbine air vents are beautiful!
You forgot the LC500 convertible as a competitor
LC500 is gorgeous but it's quite slow. The fact that coupe form came out in 2017 makes it almost a 5 years old "new" model even though convertible came out in 2019. That said, given the right price I'd love to pick one up used as a weekend car.
Thats what a Mercedes should be
Stunningly beautiful car. I would love to have one.
No you would love to be gifted one and have someone else pay for all the servicing and repairs :)
@@DEVILTAZ35 Warranty covers it , tell us you never owned a nice car without telling us
I love the fact that Mercedes said nope to V6 in this premium roadster. V8 = premium in the world of Mercedes. I love it.
There's a 43 version
@@whosdondada not for Americans
I’m soooo f’n excited!!!!!! We ordered ours today, from Plaza Motors & it’s going to be black with white interior❤️❤️❤️. Bye bye Porsche 911 & hello new love!
It’s a nice car for boomers
It has a Porsche 911 vibe which is actually good because it is one of my favorites.
Great looking car, & fast
Gorgeous
14:18 😂😂😂 it doesn’t even let some one under 4 feet sit in the back seat lol
Great looking car!
DAMNNNNNN!!!!!! Mercedes Benz knocked this one out of the park!! 💙💙💙💙💙
Yeah I disagree with Doug on this one, he said it`s an old people boring cruiser but honestly I'm pretty excited about it.
The "old people boring cruiser" would have been the S Class coupé/convertible.
20:12 Sofyan: This one just doesn’t look like that anymore.
I was never a big fan of the SLs we had when I was growing up(2000s-early 10s), and I'm a huge 911 and BMW fan but this is the first SL I REALLY like.
finally made one that i want to buy.
You can actually make the roof go down by just tapping the button once and then holding the button right after.
Will sell like hotcakes down in Florida
This Benz comes with free water?? I'm sold
Rear Jump seats were available for the R129 Series SL Roadsters in the European market.
I don't care what anybody says my 2018 SL63 was an absolute highway beast... I loved it... it was awesome, it handled great and random people took pictures of it.. It was definitely a statement.. and at 6' 5" tall I fit in it perfectly... it ran middle 11s in the quarter mile easily, And no I would not take it to the track and try to track race a 911 but It was definitely a very nice car with a split personality.
It’s old ..
@@SantanKGhey1234 ya I'm sure you have owned or driven one lol
@@twfinc6855 Always some dickhead hating in the comments when people discuss cars.
I plan on getting this to go with my GLE 63 S and my wifes GLC 43. Owned Benz for years and NEVER had an issues so I'm a happy camper!
Great video 👏 AMG is top 👍🏻 the Boys from Affalterbach make awesome work 😀 actually I finished my AMG CARPORN 💪🏼 best cinematic greetings from 🇩🇪
Made in Bremen
Can you please do a review on a 2020-2021 C63s coupe ?
That blue would look great in my driveway! 😉
this colour is fucking gorgeous
I'm pretty sure you can program the key to roll the windows up or down, and to do other stuff. And you say "hey mercedes turn the heat on". And it usually goes pretty fast. If you say hey mercedes and wait it , it usually doesn't work to good. The MY MB app works really good you can do alot from there. To connect to Bluetooth or Android auto you have to connect threw a wire, but more than one phone will connect to the phone Bluetooth at once...
Love this car. So glad it's gonna be 10k in 15 years. Sha bang
Great review as usual. SL55 for New Mexico is far more suitable. Love the AWD.
There is one main problem with the 2017-2019 LCI version of the SL ( I own 2017 and love it- except for...) - the engineers KILLED the BACK SPEAKERS! Everyone who owns one knows this and everyone hates this. The SL being a convertible, should have PERFECT sound, top up or top down IMO. If they fixed this simple thing- HUGE step in the right direction. The engineers/accounts who did this should be cas trated.
That infotainment / digital assistant doesn't really wow me for a 100K car
I *hate* that the top operation is embedded in the UX. It should be a physical button dammit.
This is a playboy's car for sure 🔥 from a design standpoint !
making a roadster longer makes it look more sporty? depends on your definition of sportiness, but usually shorter means lighter, more agile. they managed to make it longer AND lighter with the soft top but it could have been even lighter. of course, we're taking about an SL , not a Miata or a lotus so longer is ok, for stability and comfort.
I am so happy they made this but I think it’ll be a hard sell over a CPO AMG GT
The GT is in a different league and will always be more pure sports car… RWD, in wheel double wishbone suspension, rear transaxle, dry sump oil system, mid engine placement, a driver focused cockpit, 2 seats only… the GT will appreciate well
I mean this is more of a luxury/sport cruiser, the AMG GT is more of a pure sports car. I've test driven both and this is more comfortable IMO. The GT is quicker and more visceral. I prefer the SL
Always wonder why only euro brands like MB/BMW/Audi can come up with those nice 360 views.
Beautiful car, especially in that blue. Inside, it would look better with the hyper screen setup from the EQS. I don't like the tablet-look infotainment trend.
I can't imagine what the 63 exhaust sounds like
The SL should have kept the hard top like they always have. The soft top makes it look exactly like an AMG GT cabriolet.
I always loved Mercedes ever since my first car a 07 c230 lol but even if I could afford this I don’t think I’d go for it bring buttons back and just ditch the back seat and make like a shelf or something
Understand how pressed you are but please slow down your delivery just a bit when you're presenting the SL63.
Have to watch the video on 0.75 speed to be able to keep up with how fast you speak. Nice review though.
I need a AMG SL versus Jaguar F Type R video tho! 🔥
That kitty 😺 is on its way to the scrap yard..
@@johnblack4915 LOL that's not cool!
I would have a comparison between this and the 8 series convertible
We would pick the SL by a WIDE margin.
My dream ❤️
I wanted to build one but i don’t think the 2022 model are release yet on their website
The car is otherwise gorgeous!!! I’m sure it’s functional, but that wing really killed the look for me though. It’s not subtle at all!! I’m sure I’ll see some of these running around eventually with those stupid drivers who ride with the wing “up” all the time, and then I’m sure I’ll just start hating the way the rest of it looks.
Very Nice Bro! Get Good Drivers.
Knowing Mercedes, there will have a “night package “ chrome delete package.
Hey Mercedes. I have an idea for the next SL: 1200kg, powered by a 3 liter naturally aspirated engine with over 300HP. The AMG adds 300kg and becomes a plug in hybrid for people who love telling other people they love the planet.
HAHAHAHAHAHHA Sorry Im looking at the road! Love it
Portland, JAMAICA in the Building !!!!!!! 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Is thIs starling bLue, or hyper blue? I know you said hyper but on the configurator it looks more like the Starling blue.
Omg its so pretty 😍
stop complaining about the rain! we need it lol
"I don't think they'll put AWD in the AMG GT"
OOPS
carbuzz for the win
Will this come in a base model form/non-AMG version?
Mercedes should offer this SL with the M256 twin turbo inline 6 engine and RWD.
