Mercedes unveils new SL: Company CEO Källenius shares first details
In 2027, Mercedes-Benz will add a new version of the SL to the AMG and Maybach lineup, focusing on comfort and a relaxed open-top driving experience. Källenius confirmed it will be unveiled next year.
Mercedes-Benz has announced a new SL, currently being showcased in camouflage. Källenius arrived at the Golden Steering Wheel ceremony in Berlin behind the wheel of the future model’s prototype.
The new version will complement the lineup rather than replace the Mercedes-AMG SL and Mercedes-Maybach SL. The AMG variant will retain its focus on performance and dynamics, while the Maybach will emphasize luxury, exclusivity, and handcrafted details. The Mercedes-Benz SL will adopt a more relaxed character, enhanced comfort for open-top driving, and a balance between sportiness and confidence.
The exterior, interior, and driving experience will differ from the Mercedes-AMG SL. However, the model will maintain the sporty and emotional character that, according to the company’s CEO, is integral to the SL concept.
Mercedes-Benz has not yet disclosed the engines for the new car. It remains unknown whether it will feature a six- or eight-cylinder engine, a hybrid powertrain, or a fully electric drive. The company will reveal the specifications later.
The Mercedes-Benz SL will be unveiled next year, though the exact date will be announced later. The price, power output, and other technical details have also not been disclosed yet.
