Transmissions: in the fast lane with first-class technology
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 as standard. The SLK 280 and SLK 350 have something rather special to offer as standard: an automatic transmission with seven forward gears – 7G-TRONIC automatic transmission (also standard in the SLK 55 AMG). This intelligent transmission optimises fuel consumption and acceleration – with particularly smooth gearshifts. The 7G-TRONIC Sport with steering wheel gearshift paddles[1], which provide you with faster gearshifts in Manual mode, is available for your SLK.

Steering wheel gearshift paddles standard for all models.
