Record summary
What to know first
SL 43 is the entry turbo-four at 416 hp; SL 55 and SL 63 share a twin-turbo V8 at 469 and 577 hp; SL 63 S E Performance is an 805-horsepower plug-in hybrid flagship.
Model-year note
All four SL trims share standard AWD, unlike the rival AMG GT which offers a RWD-only entry trim. MY2027 output and trim structure carry over unchanged; AMG and Maybach SL prototypes were spotted in cold-weather testing with revised cosmetics for a future update, but that testing mule was not a confirmed MY2027 production change.
