In which fuel variants is the Mercedes SL400 offered?

Petrol is the foremost fuel option for the Mercedes SL400.

We emphasize the importance of considering your driving habits before opting for a particular fuel type. How far do you tend to drive in a week? Are they mainly short trips, or do you often find yourself driving longer distances?

If you primarily drive short distances, electric, plug-in hybrid or petrol is typically a good fit. For longer commutes, a newer electric car is a good alternative - especially with access to charging. For longer daily commutes, a modern electric car is often suitable - especially if you can charge at home or at work. If you often drive long distances and can't charge, diesel can still be a viable option. Note that certain countries have banned high-emission diesel engines from cities.

On AutoUncle, the Mercedes SL400 is exclusively offered in the cabriolet body style. Cabrios and convertibles are a great way to add another dimension to the driving experience. Today, most cabrios can be driven year-round as the majority of models have really good hoods and weather gear. Beware that convertibles are typically heavier than normal cars. Because of the lack of roof, thickener is applied underneath the car to strengthen the chassis.
