The SLC has got a all new front fascia, new bumper, revised headlamps which now have LED daytime running lamps. The side profile resembles with SLK to a great extent while the rear has got a new exhaust, reprofiled tail-lamps with LED detailing and new bumper.
The interiors have also undergone some noticeable features like larger COMAND system display, a new instrument cluster, key-less go, new steering and revised trim inserts.

The SLC will compete against the likes of the BMW Z4 roadster, Porsche 718 Boxster and the Jaguar F-Type.
