Maybach SL 680 Price: MSRP, Trims & Real-World Cost
Starting MSRP
$225,900
The Mercedes-Maybach SL 680 Monogram Series starts at $225,900 MSRP, per Mercedes-Benz USA. That figure excludes destination.
The Mercedes-Maybach SL 680 is a two-seat roadster, the first of its kind from the Maybach brand. It takes the SL platform and leans toward comfort and luxury. Mercedes sells it as the Monogram Series in one configuration, so pricing comes down to the launch price, options, and how it compares with the AMG SL models beneath it.
As tested example

| 2026 SL 680 as-tested price (The Drive loaner) | $238,850 |
SL 680 price at a glance
The current starting MSRP is $225,900, listed on Mercedes-Benz USA's Maybach SL page. It excludes destination, taxes, and any options you add. That is higher than the $224,900 launch figure announced in 2025, so articles written around the launch can understate the current starting price.
How the price has moved
At the car's announcement in August 2025, Mercedes-Benz USA quoted a starting MSRP of $224,900, excluding destination. The Drive's review of the 2026 car gave a base price of $226,050 in its spec table. That is a different number and it may include destination, though the review does not say.

The three figures, launch MSRP, The Drive's base price, and today's starting MSRP, are not all measured the same way. Compare a number only with another from the same source and the same year.
What a Maybach SL costs with options
The Drive's test car was priced at $238,850 as tested, above its base figure of $226,050. The difference came from options fitted to that car. A Maybach SL buyer can add a lot through packages, finishes, and personalization, so the sticker you see on a dealer lot may be well above the starting price.
SL 680 versus the AMG SL models
The Maybach sits at the top of the SL family on price. Mercedes lists the AMG SL 63 Roadster at $190,500, the SL 55 at $147,750, and the SL 43 at $114,900.

All three are starting MSRPs from the manufacturer. The SL 680 Monogram Series, at $225,900, costs more than the SL 63, the most expensive AMG roadster in this list. The Maybach version shares its basic architecture with the AMG SL but is aimed at a buyer who wants a quieter, more luxurious experience, according to how Mercedes presents it.
Why a Maybach SL costs more than an AMG SL
The Maybach badge brings a specific finish: unique exterior and interior treatments, extra hand-finished details, and equipment chosen for comfort. Mercedes positions the car as a luxury roadster, and its price is set accordingly. If you mainly want an open two-seater with strong performance, the AMG SL models above cost less. If the interior finish and the Maybach identity matter to you, the premium is what that buys. Sit in both before deciding.
What influences the price
- Option packages and exterior or interior personalization
- Destination charge, which is billed on top of MSRP
- Dealer pricing and any adjustments for demand
- Taxes, registration, and documentation fees
- Trade-in value, financing terms, or lease terms
Buying advice for a limited-volume luxury car
Because the SL 680 is a specialty model, availability depends on what dealers have received. Some dealers may have cars in stock and others may need to order one, so ask each dealer about timing as well as price. Get an itemized quote that separates MSRP, destination, and options. A tax professional can advise on how a purchase at this level fits your own situation, and insurance should be priced before you take delivery.
