With the transmissions of the SLK, gearshifting is always first-class – a prerequisite for pure sporty enjoyment: the SLK 200 KOMPRESSOR features the 5-speed automatic transmission. The SLK 280 and SLK 350 have something rather special to offer: an automatic transmission with seven forward gears – 7G-TRONIC automatic transmission. This intelligent transmission optimises fuel consumption and acceleration – with particularly smooth gearshifts. The 7G-TRONIC Sport with steering wheel gearshift paddles[1], is available for your SLK.
