Mercedes-Maybach SL 680 Monogram Series Launched in India at Rs 4.20 Crore

The Mercedes-Maybach SL 680 Monogram Series, touted as the brand’s sportiest model, has finally arrived on the shores with a price tag of Rs 4.20 crore (ex-showroom). The two-door convertible, which debuted globally last year, is available in two colour options—white and red—each highlighted with a bold contrasting black hue on the hood. It is based on the Mercedes-AMG SL 63 platform and has several comfort-oriented upgrades, including a re-tuned AMG V8 engine for smoother power delivery and an elevated driving experience. In our market, the Mercedes-Maybach SL 680 Monogram Series will compete against models like the Porsche 911, the Lotus Emira, and the Audi RS e-tron GT.

Mercedes-Maybach SL 680 Monogram Series: Design

Maybach has applied its signature styling cues to the SL 680 to create a more luxurious and exclusive aesthetic than the model it is based on. The most significant highlight on the front is an illuminated Maybach grille with sleek vertical slats. The updated front and rear bumpers further emphasise the car’s modern appeal.

Mercedes-Maybach SL 680 Monogram Series: Interior and Features

While the standard SL boasts a sporty interior design focused on performance and driver-oriented features (typical of AMG models), the Maybach SL 680 focuses on luxury and passenger comfort. It boasts luxurious white Nappa leather upholstery on both the seats and dashboard. The dashboard houses a large 11.9-inch vertically oriented infotainment touchscreen, paired with a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. Other premium touches include satin silver accents on the air vents, distinctive Maybach branding on the roll hoops, and a newly designed three-spoke steering wheel.

Mercedes-Maybach SL 680 Monogram Series: Powertrain

Though the Maybach SL 680 shares the AMG SL 63's engine output (577bhp and 800Nm), its refined tuning results in a 0-100km/h time of 4.1 seconds, which is 0.5 seconds slower than the AMG SL 63. The top speed is electronically limited to 260 km/h, compared to the AMG's 315 km/h.
