Mercedes-Benz India has launched the new Mercedes-Maybach SL 680 Monogram Series to the Indian market at Rs 4.2 crores (ex-showroom). With only three units available for this year, customer consultations are already underway, and deliveries are scheduled to commence in the first quarter of 2026. First revealed in 2024, this high-end roadster is regarded as the most dynamic Maybach ever built. According to Mercedes, it merges the timeless design of the SL with the unmatched refinement of Mercedes-Maybach, redefining luxury in open-top motoring.
Exterior Design
Derived from the SL 63 Roadster, the Maybach SL 680 elevates its styling with distinct Maybach aesthetics. It features an illuminated front grille with vertical slats, highlighted by chrome detailing and MAYBACH lettering. The Obsidian Black bonnet bears Maybach emblems, and buyers have the option to customize the soft-top fabric roof with embossed logos.
On the sides, the car rides on 21-inch forged wheels with 36 slender spokes, centered around the iconic three-pointed star. A polished chrome strip runs along the body between the wheels, seamlessly complementing chrome accents on the door handles and front fenders. The rear sports a sleek bumper with subtle chrome touches, offering a more refined look compared to the standard SL roadster.
Interior and Features
Inside, the SL 680 shares its dashboard layout with the standard SL model but distinguishes itself with premium materials. The cabin is upholstered in white Nappa leather, while the dashboard integrates satin silver-finished AC vents and a new three-spoke steering wheel. Maybach logos adorn the roll hoops, reinforcing its exclusivity.
Tech-wise, the luxury roadster boasts a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and an 11.9-inch central touchscreen infotainment system powered by Mercedes’ AI-driven MBUX multimedia interface, ensuring an advanced and seamless user experience.
Engine
Under the hood, the Maybach SL 680 retains the 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 from the SL 63 but is tuned for higher performance. Generating 585 hp and 800 Nm of torque, it is mated to a 9-speed automatic transmission that drives all four wheels. The car accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.1 seconds. Additionally, the exhaust system has been refined for a quieter cabin, while the suspension has been adjusted to maximize ride comfort.
