2026 Mercedes Maybach SL 680 - Beautiful and Sporty Design

With the Mercedes‑Maybach SL, every journey becomes an unforgettable experience. Agile and powerful, the open-top two-seater is ideally prepared for both relaxed cruising and sporty driving. It offers a high level of Maybach comfort combined with the sophisticated driving dynamics of an SL. The suspension, with its semi-active, hydraulic roll stabilisation, forms the basis. Hydraulic elements replace conventional mechanical anti-roll bars and compensate for body roll movements in fractions of a second. The system enables maximum ride comfort in different cornering radii, when travelling straight ahead and when driving over bumps. Maybach-specific valves for the damper hydraulics and softer steel springs also allow the suspension to respond even more sensitively. Unevenness is gently absorbed. New front-axle head bearings, the overall modified elastokinematics and comfortable Pirelli P Zero tyres also contribute to the high level of ride comfort.

The four driving programmes Comfort, Maybach, Sport and Individual support a wide range of driving experiences. The softened accelerator pedal characteristics in the Comfort and Maybach programmes make the response to driving commands smoother and more refined.

The combination of a 4.0‑litre biturbo engine with 430 kW (585 hp) output and smooth-shifting 9G‑TRONIC automatic transmission ensures dynamic driving pleasure at the Maybach level. Fully variable 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive and an electronically controlled rear-axle locking differential offer excellent traction even in slippery road conditions, thereby increasing driving safety. Standard rear-axle steering combines agility and stability for a manoeuvrable and safe driving experience. The Mercedes‑Maybach SL handles curves with impressive precision.
