Portland, JAMAICA in the Building!!!
No physical button for the roof is crazy
They tried to do overthink it way too much not having that
It’s amazing
soon we'll have gesture in the air or voice command only.
While the touch button is impressive, it would still be best if you have the button option. What happen if the touch button stop functioning and you want to bring back the roof?
There is a physical button, just keep pressing the rooftop button under the screen.
The SL was never intended as a 911 rival. It stands in a class of it’s own 👌
Until now. Check out the review full length and see for yourself!
Agreed. I am a 100% Mercedes-Benz guy, lifetime fan, driver, collector to very basic and never liked Porsche, nor BMW. There are a few older models that are nice, but I don't think I would never cheat on Mercedes-Benz.
@@autogefuehl what he means is that the Sl is above the 911, no matter if the current SL is sporty or not.
Btw, the digital buttons on the wheel, werent they firstly used in a Merc car? I also dont really got your comprison with 911. the SL was and is something special no matter how the car is set up.
The Mercedes SL was unique yes. But they have left the segment where the car was in
@@autogefuehl they actually returned to it's heritage from back in the days. Awesome car!
Thanks Thomas. A great review of a beautiful car. I haven’t been a big fan of more recent Mercedes designs, but this one looks instantly iconic. And you know you’re not on the German autobahn when you see a pickup truck in the side view mirror!
😁
I think the sound you heard was a safety measure from the sound system. The car thought you were going to crash and to reduce hearing damage (loud crash) it plays a sound which causes the insides of the ear to contract. Because of the contraction it lets less sound in and reduces the possibility of getting deaf.
that could very well be, I heard of that feature. Obviously the car thinks that when stuff like that is done with the car, it crashes =)
@@autogefuehl well, in Thomas’s driving lounge a lot is possible ;)
@@autogefuehl I'm pretty sure it used facial recognition, noticed it's you, and then determined: "Zis will not be gut!! Deploy ze Höllenlärm!!"
The middle display said something like "Drive more safely" on it when playing the sound ! 😁
Sport+ mode but tells you to drive like Sleep+ mode
Maybe it was a hissss saying “Letsssss go !”
Can’t stop watching your car reviews Thomas.You made my last week so special!
Thanks Autogefühl
16:40 pre-safe sound
Great review as always. Love the way things are honestly explained and tested. There are a lot of channels on car reviews but none like this. Congratulations. The car in this video also helps. It`s amazing. A big evolution on the SL.
Highly appreciated! Please recommend 🤗
you are my favourite car review guy on youtube. the best in business and so cool
Thanks please recommend 😎
That sound you heard is because it protect your ear drums.
When the car thinks it will go into a accident,that sound is produced in case of a crash and helping you not to loose hearing after. Something like noise cancellation in case of accident.
Very good review. I feel like your honesty came through regardless of the effort flying thousands of miles coming to LA. One of the few reviewers with a solid working experience driving every generation SL. So your impression matters to actual SL drivers. Thomas and crew are always FIRST online and worldwide. Danke shön mein Herren.
👌
you know you screwed up when a fellow german says that this feature is redundant and cumbersome🤣🤣.i love your reviews thomas.please keep up the good work and have a prosperous and happy new year😃
Happy nu!
When you peeled out of the parking lot and heard that noise, that's Presafe Sound!!! It activates to protect your ears from the sound of impact when crashing if the vehicle thinks it's about to get into an accident; super cool.
The "plenty of headroom" joke was hilarious and unexpected. Well done!
=)
That’s strange sound was a pre collision safety system. It’s play that noise from the audio system before you will be crash the car. It’s will be make you hear blind before actual crash and when will be happening that it’s doesn’t bother the crash sounds that match. Basically this system protect your hearing and leveling out the crash sounds and noises.
Hi, I've never seen a new and impressive 2021 adventure and I love the new 2022 adventures the new Mercedes AMG SL 63 test drive in California was really cool!
AGAIN.Thomas really is reliable for reviews. I'm glad I came here i'm glad I'm subscribed! Great content man Keep up the good work!
My eye literally lit Up when I saw your face and that headliner! :X
you re welcome!
Danke Thomas für die schöne Übersicht über dieses tolle Auto. Vor allem die schonungslos ehrliche Beurteilung einiger Details. Grüße aus North Carolina
Danke dir Oli! Was treibste drüben? :)
" ... but it's not a Mercedes SL" the car summed up in just a few words, well said Thomas! Am I the only one that thinks AMG is over dominating Mercedes these days? Let's hope the smaller engined variants bring back some of the elegance which this AMG has lost.
Well, few points:
1. Elegance does not sell, at least according to the OEMs, so they do this aggressive nonsense. Smaller engines won't bring elegance but cheapness instead because that's how germans do things.
2. The SL stands for Sport and Leicht, which is what 300SL actually was. None of the other SLs were that though. Some of them were good cruisers but lazy and too heavy. Only one true production SL actually exists and then the brand shifted towards old mans sofa somehow. At least first few generations were cool but not anymore. I agree that Mercedes is too obsessed with AMG but bringing the SL to the AMG was the right decision and they should have done that decades ago.
Oh my god! you activated the "You're about to crash", white noise, ear preparation noise from the Pre-Safe package! I've never heard it before. you must have done quite a launch!
Master Piece car💪
Stunning review 🇺🇸🇩🇪
Thanks Thomas, always informative and entertaining!
It’s a beautiful cabrio - mixing the best of the 3 vehicles it replaces, except for the missing switches with only a few flimsy haptic? ones that made the cut. The steering wheel is also a step back from say the AMG wheel in my GLC 43, though it looks good.
Overall, only a mix of existing Merc designs and parts, which isn’t bad; just expected something a bit more adventurous with this release. Still we should be happy that the glorious AMG V8 lives a few more years. 😀👏
Best greetings Pete
Thank you for that final verdict! Even if they ultimately had to change direction to bring the non-existing sales up again, this has become just another AMG. The SL had been in a class of it`s own as an elegant cross-continent land-yacht, with the added 365 day practicability of the hardtop and a proper boot. And also, to this day I haven't come across a digital tochscreen solution in a car, that would be more ergonomical and user-friendly than a simple dial or button to push.
👌
The SL 55 would be my preference! The top operation is unnecessarily complicated.
It must be. After all, it's a German car. ;-)
@@totwiedisco This is true!
Great review. Surprised that Mercedes repositioned this closer the 911. Speaking of…when might we expect the 911 GTS review? 🤩
It's too heavy to compete with a 911
I can arrange that
@@autogefuehl 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Informative! Also it’s pretty clear I’m not the sort that would like this car. I’m more for cruising.
Thanks for another great, and most of all, honest revue. As a big fan of r107 models, I agree with your verdict. But I also respect the opinion of it to be more sporty like its roots with the 300SL. I guess it is a matter of what type of car you prefer really. Personally I had hoped for more Mercedes-Benz Classic, and less AMG. Not all Mercedes-Benz have to be aggressive looking. Don't forget elegance!
Thanks soren!
Sublime work Thomas
🙏🙏
16:55 That’s probably the pre-collision noise from the speakers. It’s a safety feature to condition your ears for loud collision noise when the car thinks you are about to crash. My E63s AMG also did that when I was in a performance driving class and doing sharp turn then emergency brake practices.
yeah indeed!
Thank you for telling me what pan-americana really meant. I didn’t know it had a certain meaning other than vertical line grill.
Good work Thomas, not even the rain can stop you
🤘
Stylish SL glad to see the icon back
That is now the OFFICIAL name for capacitive B.S.buttons
not sure about this car "replacing the S-Class cabriolet", they are actually completely different
otherwise as always one of the best reviews out there from Thomas!
Yes indeed, it is also way different than the outgoing SL that’s what I’m saying is that they are canceling basically three models and put one model instead
It's replaced it in that the S Class Cabrio has been replaced, so this is the only luxury cabriolet they have now.
It's replaced it in that the S Class Cabrio has been replaced, so this is the only luxury cabriolet they have now.
Top quality review of a gorgeous car , definitely see the 911 in there somewhere.
👍👍
I love it 😍 Sold our SL450 last year. Maby we need one of this next 😍
Great review, thanks!
thanks! Please recommend our channel =)
My 1992 Honda Prelude had the 4 wheel steering/wheel turning, surprised it took this long to be in other vehicles
The noise you heard at 16:35 is a white noise to close/contract your eardrums so that airbag deployment doesn't hurt them. Mercedes calls it "PRESAFE Sound".
Yep!
Nice car.. am I the only finding it odd the row buttons and door button panels move when you push them? I'm assuming a little give helps relieve pressure. but it comes off very cheap to see the whole panel moving with light touch.
Honestly, I'm very surprised the SL hasn't been discontinued.
Well it replaces the GT Roadster and S-Class Cabriolet at the same time. Clearly it isn't as sporty and also not as luxurious as the others but it's still a good (looking) derivative. Competition is now 911, BMW 8-Series and Lexus LS 500 Cabriolets. Not Bentley and Rolls-Royce anymore. The GT competitor has always been the 911 maybe even the R8/Huracan
An updated AMG GT roadster with an SL badge slapped on it, and not delivering enough that is expected from either model. Given this compromise, it's priced too high and will probably be a dud for Mercedes, especially since you can buy a used S-Class cabriolet if you want a top-down cruiser or a used AMG GTC roadster if you want a top-down bruiser.
Looks so much better with the black optics package 👌
Excellent review as always! Nice car here also 👍
Mercedes hat mich nie sonderlich interessiert aber das ist ein bildhübsches Auto. Man stelle sich dieses design in einem SLC vor. Ein bezahlbarer Traumwagen.
Finally… Mercedes produces a successor to the BMW Z8.
Fantastic documentary, I have a pristine 2003 low mile SL500, and wouldn’t give it up for anything, but it might need a big sister
This is Bruce Wayne's daily!!! Damn, amazing!!! 🤣✌🏾❤✊🏾
That AMG sound!
16:40, that is mercedes playing the white noise through the speakers as it thought you was going to crash the vehicle, its to prevent ears popping when in a car crash as its very loud
Excellent review Thomas as ever.
🙏🙏
Thank you Thomas, your reviews are detailed, with tints of fun and filled with owner/driver side details. Be well
At 16:58 the sound you heard was PreSafe Sound. It plays a pink noise through the system to activate the reflex of the stapedeus muscle in the ear. In the event of a crash (which is loud and can cause temporary ringing in the ears after the crash and therefore disorientation), this protects your ear from the loud bang. It is an extension of PreSafe.
Yep!
Totally agree with your conclusions.
Nice vehicle, but it seems to cater to the American market where there were complaints about the SLs handling and looks (oddly enough). I rather prefer the previous generations that were comfortable with some sporting elements. It makes so much more sense to me. I don't understand why so many reviewers only value cars for their sporting handling, exhaust note and 0-100 km/h time when there so many other good experiences to be had with vehicles like these. Thank goodness for Autogefuhl.
Also in these expensive vehicles please add functional physical buttons for certain things like for climate controls and raise/lowering cabs, it is just more practical and we are all physical beings that like to hear a satisifying click or feel the push of a button. I think this looks like a really cool car, just not the direction I like the SL to take. Anyway, thanks again for the great content from Thomas and crew!
👌
Beautiful car.
911 is not going to be killed - it is a legend (and I am not fan of it). But this is really really great car. It has lost some of SL character (comfy grand touring specially) but that will probably save the SL sub-brand. Times are changing. Great review.
Thanks David!
I agree I’m a big 911 fan and my dad had one growing up but this looks like it is just way more luxurious and a better car to drive daily in real life.
Thomas this is not a 911. 😂 the 911 is a legend
Thank you again Thomas for another measured review. A formidable car with IT bling intruding into the driving experience. This seems a car without a clear mission. I feel little appeal to the heart: the essence of a sports car purchase.
Thanks for being with us!
Not sure what you are speaking of “the windows don”t go up” when operating the SL top?
I have an SL (R231) and the windows go up and down with the top, or separately with the remote, or inside. Do you mean on the 2022 version they no longer do it? I am in the USA as well.
Also you don’t have to point the remote, or get that close to the car for the remote to work. I have operated the remote while it was still in my pocket and not as close as you keep getting. FYI
Mercedes said the US version wont raise windows automatically with the roof function for regulative reasons…
I think there is typo in title. It says Mercedes-AG SL 63 instead of Mercedes-AMG SL 63.
Thanks! =) Well since Mercedes is now an own entity, really called Mercedes AG, it was technically correct - but of course it was intended as AMG ;-)
the 2015 series is probably the best SL ever designed.
the 2003 is iconic yet a maintenance nightmare.
It’s sl55 amg and sl 63 not 53 and 63 but overall very good video. Super informative.
Yes, thanks!
How is the transmission? Is there an improvement? The transmission of the MB are weak. Easily gets broken. Always confused.
its darn cold,man,and that lowered top makes me feel even colder
16:40 the sound was to make your ears ready for an impact
Good explanation of how this model fits into the range .
thanks for good review.
btw it is somewhat funny to see that a German guy review German MB with Michigan playe in California. You could test it in autobahn! lol
Thanks 😊
That radio scratching noise at 16:39 also happen to me in my 2019 s560 when i lost a little but of traction when i had wet tires im not sure what that is.
It is belonging to the pre-safe system which is trimming your ears to expect a crash bang
thx u for the video, great job 🍻
🙏
you drive on PCH (pacific coast high way ) rirection from HB to Newport beach
Nice review
I really like Mercedes Benz, why? because in addition to a luxury car, elegant, fast, also a sophisticated car because of technology😍 greetings from Indonesia! Thank you for reviewing the car I like
Enjoy 😊
if Thomas is in the Us, When you will review the Rivian trucks?
Really love to. I ll ask again
Portland, JAMAICA in the Building!!!
Well done Thomas - A very good review...It's definitely not an "SL" though is it.
Thanks Paul!
Thank you. Very good review. The first reviewer of the new 'SL' that knows what he's talking about. It's not a replacement for the previous SL. It's a replacement for the AMG GT Roadster and the S Class Cabrio. SL customers have been completely abandoned. This is in a new price segment. No metal/composite roof. Uselss rear seats. Too aggressive, etc. If SL buyers had wanted a car with four seats and a fabric roof, they previously had plenty of choice (C, E, and S convertibles). If they had wanted a two seater with a fabric roof, they could have chosen an AMG GT Roadster. And remember, people still chose an SL 63 or 65 AMG over the AMG GT Roadster. I also agree that it's now more of a 911 competitor. I even think the rear end has 911 styling elements. Personally, I'd now be more likely to buy a 911 than this new generation 'SL'. Thee downside of the 911 is how relatively common they are. The upside is, I think the 992 generation 911 is more classy than this new 'SL'. I doubt that Mercedes has unknowingly abandoned existing SL owners, but has repositioned the model to appeal to a totally different buyer. Based on the price alone, it has abandoned those who previously bought the SL 400/450 and 500/550. Personally, I am sad to see the old SL formula die. And as far as this car being lighter weight, it is in fact significantly heavier. Is the soft-top lighter than the old hard-top?
Thanks for the feedback 👌
Yes indeed weight savings with soft top
@@autogefuehl Surprising (to me), especiially given the added real estate needing to be covered. Have you by any chance got the weight figures for the old magnesium top vs the new fabric top? The new car is even less super lightweight despite the fabric top, but it is a four-seater, so there's a significant weight addition. I would also think that a carbon roof would have been lighter weight. Then again, I think the move to a soft top has more to do with the change to four seats, rather than to lessen the weight and lower the centre of gravity. Thanks anyway. Great channel.
@@nigel.w I never owned an SL before or a Mercedes for that matter. But the SL looks really gorgeous. I love the exterior/interior design. With that said, I don't think I will be buying it, because it's not a 2 seater. I really hate that the new model has 2 + 2 seats in the car. That's a deal breaker for me. I'm wondering did Mercedes go 2 + 2 seats, due to 2 seater cars (in general) aren't selling well? At least, I've heard somewhere that 2 seater cars aren't selling well.
The sound in 16:39 was the Mercedes pre safe system.
The interior is a vast improvement over the previous model, but I think that the exterior is somehow not as elegant.
i actually think the reverse of what you said
So sad that the 65 models are dead ,also I'll take this over the AMG GT !
Gorgeous car
Great. Thanks Thomas.
🙏
I had a Q7,2018 with rear steering, then traded for a cayenne, realized I could drive 20% faster around turns(exit ramps) in the Q7
Lovely job Sir
✌️😎
SL has always had the wealthy grandad car image and that’s been it’s biggest challenge to make any inroads into the cool crowd if the likes of 911.
As a former SL Klass owner (R129-R230) i really don't understand the need to make it chasing a Porsche 911 even in the design. SL Klass should be the Mercedes flagship of elegance and confort. But despite this it looks nice, definitely better than the previous model (the ugliest SL ever)....good review as usual
Cheers!
I live in Canada and want one of these. However, I hate the rear bumper bumps near the license plate. How can I get a European spec bumper?
Very detailed review. As a non-Merc person, I really love this car. Will there ever be a '65' version of future SL and indeed, future AMG cars. I miss the M275 engine.
AMG confirmed that there will be a plug in hybrid 63 E Performance variant. It should have similar output to the GT63 S E Performance..so around 800hp
No 65 anything anymore.
Just Maybachs
Solid review, 👍🏼
It’s nice, I just miss the SLK
Very disappointed in this new SL....Was hoping they would go simpler, no screens, minimal crap on the dash, basic cloth top and available with a 6 cylinder 300hp without the AMG boy racer adds.
it looks so good, really good proportions
The noise was pink noise or that sound they play when they think your getting into an accident
Is that a Mercedes feature or something standard in the US? I've never heard of it in Europe
@@herbst963 it's a feature on all models it's part of pre safe it does it to protect your ears. It triggers your ears to do something that protects you from hearing loss in an accident
Thomas and crew, Still loving your channel and reviews!! You make me LOL on this one with all your heavy winter cloths and it is 55 F out. 🤣🤣🤣 This is transitional weather perfecto for zee airscarf my friend. not a fan of the funny sound on that max launch portion. very nice car but not for me, my '98 sl600 is more than perfect for task at hand and not such a complex computer with wheels. Sorry your stay in California was not so much sunny days😿😿special shout out for schmoozie, should be in every review when you show phone interconnect bit, plz...
😁✌️
What I found comfortable is how you are holding the Mic so strong close to your mouth 😂😂
Windy stuff!
Michigan plate....interesting 🙂
MB USA has their hq there, that’s why 😊
you have been able to change range rovers lcd display angle for years already
I'm not a huge Mercedes fan, prefer BMW, but damn this roadster is hot stuff. I would totally get it!
that looks incredibly wicked...
I'm so over every car manufacturer. No one is making cars like they used to.
