The 2012 SLK has Generous interior dimensions, designers have developed an interior that offers the promise of the driver and passengers the highest degree of quality and precision. The interior is marked with sporty style and high quality materials that have been produced with the original perfect precision and skilled expertise. wood trim can be ordered as an option in high-gloss burl walnut dark brown. Four round, metallic air outlets integrated in the dashboard to emphasize that this model is really a family-owned Mercedes-Benz sports car, they form a nod to them in the AMG SLS.

Shift paddles and metal trim on the spokes add both sportiness and refinement. The interior can be enhanced even further with the Trim package which includes a wood/leather steering wheel and shift knob.
The new SLK is equipped with a windshield defogging sensor in the stem of the rear-view mirror which registers the glass temperature and interior humidity level of the new SLK. In dry weather, when no cooling is required but the A/C is operating, the control system powers the compressor down but activates it as soon as it detects that the windshield is fogging-up.

New V6 engine with innovative technology :
The six-cylinder engine is part of the new V6 family of efficient direct injection engines. Known as BlueDIRECT, this innovation establishes the V-engines from Mercedes-Benz as worldwide benchmarks and makes a further reduction in fuel consumption by 20 percent possible by engine modifications alone.
The V-angle of the new V6 engine is only 60 degrees. This enables the balance shaft for primary vibrations to be omitted. As a result, the driver notices a high level of comfort. The crankcase, pistons and cylinder heads of the V6 are made of aluminum while the crankshaft, connecting rods and valves are built from special forged steel.
The technology in the new engine generation includes a number of new developments that are unique in combination:
* Multi-spark ignition and third-generation spray-guided direct fuel injection system with piezo-electric injectors that offer more fuel savings through a homogenous combustion process with a considerably extended characteristic map and fuel-efficient lean-burn technology.
* Power consumption by auxiliary units has been reduced. These include an optimized water pump with 2nd-generation thermal management, a demand-controlled oil pump, a volume-controlled high-pressure fuel pump and an intelligent generator management system.
The exhaust systems for the SLK were developed to meet the ULEV exhaust emission standards as well as noise emission standards. The exhaust system for the 4-cylinder engine consists of a firewall catalytic converter, a center muffler and two rear mufflers.
The emission control system for the V6 gasoline engine has a firewall catalytic converter for the right and left cylinder banks. The exhaust gases then flow into storage-type NOx catalytic converters.
