The SL 680 variant from Mercedes-Maybach is back in the spotlight after its official unveiling more than a year ago, with the model heading to Australia at an interesting price and some important goodies under the hood. Not to mention the plethora of high-end tweaks inside the cabin, which makes it a perfect ride for sunny weather in the Land Down Under. Orders for the model start today, March 6, 2026.

That alone makes the local pricing hard to ignore. Mercedes-Benz Australia confirmed that the official MRKP is AU$463,900, with an obvious gap compared to its US counterpart, which costs $224,900, or the equivalent of AU$319,805.

In Australia, all prices come with GTS and LCT where applicable, but without stamp and registration fees. Which matters, because the car already starts deep into premium territory before those extras arrive. Whether many buyers will keep it near the base figure is another question.

At the exterior, this Maybach SL 680 can be easily spotted from miles away with Maybach`s signature all around the body. There is an instantly recognizable dedicated grille, an Obsidian Black-painted hood, and a set of distinct 21-inch alloys. Standard metallic finishes are Opalite White Magno and Garnet Red, though that is only the starting point.

If a buyer wants to stretch the budget further, Mercedes is ready. This means that for a set of 21-inch multi-spoke wheels, customers will have to pay AU$12,900 more, while the Manufaktur Exclusive paint job will add another AU$24,300. On the other hand, the Mayback pattern found on the hood costs another AU$11,800. So yes, that already substantial Australian sticker can move higher without much effort.

Moving inside, the cabin follows the same feel as the exterior. It has a Nappa leather interior, a Manufaktur Dinamica microfiber headliner, and customized trim. The sports seats, on the other hand, are upholstered in a floral design in upholstery, and the steering wheel with multifunctional features is a combination of leather and wood. The luxurious theme is completed by the Maybach lettering on the high-pile floor mats and backlit door sills.

The infotainment component is also not a bare one. The SL 680 is equipped with a central display n 11.9-inch, 5G, wireless smartphone charging, augmented reality navigation, head-up display, 64-color ambient lighting, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, etc.

The Maybach SL 680 has a V8 twin-turbo 4.0-liter engine, which it shares with its AMG SL 63 brother, and that produces 577 horsepower and 800 Nm of torque. That will be able to make a 0 to 60 mph run in only 4 seconds, with a top speed of 259 km/h.
