Mercedes-Benz has launched the Mercedes-Maybach SL 680 Monogram Series in India, priced at ₹4.2 crore (ex-showroom, all-India). Customer consultations are now open, with deliveries set to commence in Q1 2026, the company announced.
Blending the iconic SL silhouette with Mercedes-Maybach’s signature luxury elements, the open-top two-seater is powered by a 4.0-liter V8 biturbo engine, producing 585 hp and 800 Nm of torque between 2,500 and 5,000 rpm. It boasts a top speed of 260 km/h and accelerates from 0-100 km/h in just 4.1 seconds.
Equipped with a fully variable 4MATIC+ all-wheel-drive system and a 9G automatic transmission, the Monogram Series promises a dynamic yet refined driving experience, the company stated in a press release.
The SL 680 Monogram Series is offered in two distinct design themes: “Red Ambience” featuring MANUFAKTUR Garnet Red Metallic, and “White Ambience” finished in MANUFAKTUR Opalite White Magno.
Exterior highlights include a chrome fin, an upright Mercedes-Benz star on the bonnet, a Maybach-patterned hood, an illuminated Maybach grille, and rose gold accents in the headlights. The vehicle also comes with a light black acoustic soft top featuring a Maybach pattern in anthracite, along with chrome accents on the side cladding and windscreen frame. It rides on 21-inch forged wheels, completing its elegant yet commanding presence.
Inside, the cabin is adorned with MANUFAKTUR Exclusive Nappa leather upholstery in crystal white, featuring a Maybach-specific floral design. The luxurious interior also includes galvanized seat backrests, silver chrome trim, a fully digital instrument cluster, and an electrically adjustable center display with Maybach-specific start-up animations. The steering wheel, stainless-steel pedals, and door sill trims are also designed with exclusive Maybach elements, enhancing the opulent ambiance.
For enhanced comfort, the SL 680 Monogram Series is equipped with a sound-optimized exhaust system, extensive insulation, comfort-oriented suspension, soft engine mounts, and rear-axle steering, ensuring a smooth and refined driving experience.
