Sources & notes
- This record describes the stated 2018 U.S. SLC 300 configuration only, not every model year or trim in the generation.
- Body dimensions use factory-published inches converted to millimeters; width excludes mirrors.
- Fuel economy uses the current EPA vehicle record for the exact model year and drivetrain. EPA’s broad 4-Wheel Drive category is displayed as AWD when the manufacturer specifies 4MATIC all-wheel drive.
- The R172 generation began as the U.S. SLK in model year 2012 and continued as SLC through the 2020 Final Edition.

- Exact U.S. 2005 SLK 350, Standard · manual, RWD configuration. This is not a specification for every trim or year in the generation.
- Manufacturer-published inch and millimeter measurements are retained separately when both are provided. EPA economy comes from the current adjusted record, not the original brochure estimate.
- The brochure contains an inconsistent inch/millimeter pair: CLS length 193.0 in / 4910 mm, or SLK 350 width 70.4 in / 1778 mm. The affected dimension is withheld until independently resolved, not silently corrected.
- Convertible dimensions apply with the roof raised. Roof-dependent cargo figures are not presented as unconditional trunk capacity.
