The 2022 MercedesAMG SL reaffirms its place in the world:
two-seat roadster, but the car also can't be too luxurious or cushy because such an SL would be anathema to the AMG brand.
Both versions of the SL certainly get AMG-grade goods under the hood. AMG's twin-turbo 4.0-liter V-8 makes 469 horsepower in the SL55 and 577 horsepower in the SL63. We estimate the SL55 will hit 60 in 3.4 seconds, with the more powerful version dispatching with that task in 3.1 seconds. The V-8 itself is subtle, tuned to grumble rather than growl, with no juvenile pops from the exhaust.
Multiple drive modes give you a variety of throttle responses and steering efforts. On a curvy road, the SL feels competent but not organically connected, like it's overthinking its objective. We can't help but wonder if there's too much going on beneath the surface. Torque vectoring, rear-wheel steering, and an active suspension work together, but not always in concert.
The new SL does recapture a lot of the allure absent in the last SL. The '22 SL is gorgeous, fast, and comfortable enough to make sense in a lineup that also contains the AMG GT. Pricing is yet to be released, but we expect the all-AMG lineup to start at about $135,000 for the SL55 and rise to over $175,000 for a loaded SL63. The 2022 Mercedes-AMG SL should be at dealerships in time for convertible weather this spring.
