Why it stands out
The 2016 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class stands out as a luxury roadster that blends speed, technology, and everyday usability in a way few convertibles can match. In this generation, Mercedes gave the SL an evolutionary design with an aluminum body and spaceframe chassis, along with a stronger emphasis on performance. It also remained a relatively rare sight compared with earlier versions, which adds to its appeal for buyers who want something upscale and distinctive rather than common.
For 2016, the SL lineup offered a range of powertrains and personalities. The SL400 used a 3.0-liter 329-horsepower V6, while the SL550 kept its twin-turbo 4.6-liter V8. AMG versions brought even more performance, including the SL63 with a 5.4-liter twin-turbo V8 and the SL65 with a 6.0-liter V12. The cabin was one of the car’s biggest strengths, with high-quality materials, glass roof panels that could dim at the push of a button, AirScarf neck heating, ventilated massaging seats, Bluetooth, navigation, and iPod connectivity. The trunk was also reasonably usable for a luxury roadster, offering up to 7.2 cubic feet of space with the top down and three more cubes with the top up.
The 2016 SL-Class does have some drawbacks. It is expensive to buy and own, and the car’s complex systems can be costly to repair. It is also not the sharpest-handling car in its class, with the AMG versions described as more about raw power than lithe precision. Even so, the 2016 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class remains appealing because it delivers the traditional SL mix of style, speed, luxury, and build quality in a package that is comfortable enough to use every day.

Every feature imaginable. Fit and finish superb. More speed than expected. Show stopper.

Great to outstanding sports / touring car from Mercedes Benz the Bi-Turbo V6 is no slouch with quick acceleration and performance while returning 29 mpg on highway driving. The AMG Sport Package improves handling but sacrifices ride quality over the standard 18” wheels & suspension settings, with that said the suspension modes can be adjusted with a switch in the center console. If you want additional performance opt for the BI-Turbo SL550 V8 model. The SL63 AMG is just crazy with the amount of torque it produces!

Is the 2016 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class a good car?
Yes — with a 5/5 user rating, the 2016 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class looks like a strong fit if you want a luxury roadster that blends speed, technology, and everyday usability. The overview points to an aluminum body and spaceframe chassis, a premium cabin, and a usable trunk for a convertible, so you get style without giving up all practicality. It also stands out as a relatively rare and distinctive choice rather than a common luxury cruiser. With 30.3% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have some room to shop selectively.
Is the 2016 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class reliable?
Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction. The overview also suggests a car built around high-quality materials and a strong emphasis on performance, which supports the idea of a well-engineered luxury grand tourer. At the same time, the SL-Class is described as expensive to own and potentially costly to repair because of its complex systems, so long-term ownership risk is more about repair expense than basic appeal.
What should I look for when buying a used 2016 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class?
At 62.7% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
You should start with a vehicle history report and confirm whether any prior damage was cosmetic or structural. Then prioritize a thorough pre-purchase inspection, especially for the roof mechanism, electronics, and other complex systems that can be expensive to repair. Focus on overall condition and maintenance quality, since a well-kept example is likely to matter more than a small price difference.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2016 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class?
This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile options.
- Deal availability: 30.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.

Should I buy a 2016 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2016 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2016 if:
- 30.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- At 62.7% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
- Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
The bottom line: The 2016 is a good choice if you want the traditional SL mix of style, speed, luxury, and everyday comfort in a distinctive roadster. If you’re more price-sensitive, it makes sense to compare nearby years and focus on the best-maintained example rather than chasing the newest badge alone.
