What's new for 2006
SLK280
Model Year 2006 will see the introduction of the entry model SLK280 in the SLK lineup. The addition of the SLK280 will appeal to a broader customer base by pairing aggressive SLK styling to an all-new, powerful V6 engine at a very attractive price. Performance will continue to be a strong selling point for the SLK-Class with the acceleration of the SLK280 from 0-60 mph rated at a mere 6.1 seconds.
Highlights:
* 3.0L V6 engine with 228 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque.
* Standard 6-speed manual transmission.
* Optional 7-speed driver adaptive transmission
* All new 16” 5-spoke staggered-width alloy wheels.
Options:
The SLK option strategy has been revised to further promote the growing demand in satellite radio. SIRIUS Satellite Radio is now available, including a 6-month subscription, either as a factory-installed option offered in both Entertainment packages or as a stand-alone option. The CD changer is now available as a stand-alone option only.
Additionally, Pewter Metallic paint and Brown Nappa Leather featured on the very successful SLK Launch Edition are orderable options for model year 2006 on the SLK280 and SLK350.
Pricing highlights:
Model MSRP
SLK280 $42,900
SLK350 $46,950
SLK55 AMG $61,500
