SLK stands for responsiveness and agility of the highest degree. And if you move fast, you must be able to shift fast, too. That’s why the power of the different engines is transferred by transmissions which are precisely attuned to the temperament of each model. Normally, in the models of the 6-cylinder engines, 7G-TRONIC, the 7-speed automatic transmission, is available as an option. Meanwhile, SLK 350 offered by Mercedes-Benz Vietnam, is equiped with 7G-TRONIC as a standard.

With its seven speeds, the 7G-TRONIC automatic transmission adapts marvellously to every driving situation. The seven ratios ensure that the jumps in rev speed from one gear to another are small, resulting in smooth gearshifts and a lower average rev speed level. In addition, it offers the possibility of multiple downshifts for particularly fast acceleration at all times.
