The most sporty model in Maybach brand history, 'The all-new Mercedes‑Maybach SL' has been launched domestically. It is Maybach's first open‑top two‑seat roadster.
Mercedes‑Benz Korea Co., Ltd. announced on the 21st that it will launch the fourth model of Mercedes‑Maybach and the brand's first open‑top two‑seat roadster 'The all-new Mercedes‑Maybach SL(The all-new Maybach SL)'.
'The all-new Mercedes‑Maybach SL' is the fourth member of the Maybach lineup following the Maybach S‑Class, GLS and EQS SUV.
Sporty proportions and exquisite aesthetics combine with supreme comfort, and a new design that organically combines colors and materials throughout the vehicle centered on the Maybach pattern provides a multi‑sensory experience that blends Maybach's craftsmanship, high‑quality materials and refined design details.
'The all-new Mercedes‑Maybach SL' was first revealed worldwide last August at Pebble Beach, California, and was first shown domestically in July at the 'Maybach Brand Center Seoul' that opened in Gangnam‑gu, Seoul, where preorders began.
Deliveries to customers begin this month, and it is offered in two packages for the 'Mercedes‑Maybach SL 680 Monogram Series': Red Ambience and White Ambience. The price is 342,600,000 won (reflecting the reduced special consumption tax and including value‑added tax).
'The all-new Mercedes‑Maybach SL' features a special two‑tone paint. The concept is made up of two packages, 'Red Ambience' and 'White Ambience', which maximize the vehicle's dignity through contrast and harmony of different hues.
'Red Ambience' and 'White Ambience' feature two‑tone paint designs that place the bonnet in obsidian black metallic on body colors of MANUFAKTUR garnet red metallic and MANUFAKTUR opalite white magno, respectively, creating a color contrast.
Customers can opt to have the Maybach pattern applied to the bonnet using an innovative and precise pixel paint process. The Mercedes‑Maybach SL 680 Monogram Series is the first model to introduce the sustainable pixel paint technology from the Sindelfingen plant on the bonnet; the process requires high precision and partial handwork at each stage. Finally, a newly developed transparent coating called 'tinted clearcoat' applied as the topmost layer delivers clearer, richer color and depth.
The interior uses crystal white MANUFAKTUR exclusive Nappa leather to provide an elegant atmosphere. Nappa leather is applied to the door panels, center console and seats, and the seat covers feature a new design pattern shaped like a flower to create a graceful mood. The seat backs are also finished in white leather, and the galvanized seat backs and silver chrome trim provide a striking contrast.
'The all-new Mercedes‑Maybach SL' adds a sporty impression to Maybach's distinctive luxury design language. Lighting is applied to the chrome‑trimmed radiator grille edging and the Maybach lettering placed at the top to emphasize presence with an elegant animation when locking and unlocking. The bonnet features a vertical star and chrome pins running front to back along the center, completing an elegant yet sporty feel.
The inside of the headlights is finished in rose gold, and chrome is used on the windshield frame and side door sill cladding to emphasize luxury. In addition, a dedicated front skirt is designed as a horizontal air intake to emphasize the vehicle's width, and the side features Maybach's 21‑inch multi‑spoke forged wheels to accentuate a sleek impression.
The acoustic comfort soft top is made of black fabric and subtly reflects the Maybach pattern in dark gray to add a sense of exclusivity.
The rear of the vehicle completes an elegant appearance with tailpipe trim featuring Maybach's unique design and LED taillamps that capture the eye. In addition, a Maybach‑specific rear apron with chrome trim and a dedicated diffuser design is installed. The soft‑top deck behind the seats uses a double‑scoop structure applied with aerodynamics in mind to create a distinctive appearance.
'The all-new Mercedes‑Maybach SL 680' delivers 585 horsepower from a 4.0‑liter biturbo engine paired with a SPEEDSHIFT MCT 9‑speed transmission.
The vehicle's active ride control suspension suppresses body roll to maintain a stable stance and enable agile handling. Hydraulic elements replace the traditional mechanical anti‑roll bar and quickly correct body roll movement. The front axle lift system and overall improved suspension motion also contribute to a high level of ride comfort. Rear axle steering, provided as standard, offers up to 2.5 degrees of rear steering angle to aid safe and agile driving in corners.
It also supports four driving programs: Comfort, Maybach, Sport and Individual. In Comfort and Maybach modes, accelerator pedal response is tuned to be smoother and more refined, providing a more seamless and luxurious response to driver input.
The vehicle also offers top‑level sound insulation performance, providing Maybach's characteristic quiet driving experience. Comprehensive soundproofing measures using acoustic fleece, aluminum‑butyl surfaces and acoustic foam reduce road noise, and a noise‑optimized exhaust system and muffler made of recyclable fiberglass further enhance the vehicle's quietness.
In addition, driving assistance features that enhance convenience while driving are standard, including the Driving Assistance package, the PRE‑SAFE® system that takes measures to reduce impact on occupants when a collision is imminent, Digital Light that optimizes headlamp brightness considering road lighting conditions, traffic, route and weather, and a remote parking package that includes a 360° camera.
'The all‑new Mercedes‑Maybach SL' is equipped with the 3rd‑generation MBUX infotainment system, allowing access to various third‑party developer applications domestically and abroad through in‑vehicle data. In addition, 'T‑map Auto' designed for the 3rd‑generation MBUX infotainment system is adopted, enabling use of the integrated head‑up display and augmented reality navigation.
Other convenience features provided as standard include wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a toll settlement system that displays Hi‑pass payment amounts and balances on the central display, ventilated and heated seats, a heated steering wheel and Magic Vision Control.
