2024 Mercedes-Benz AMG SL: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2024 Mercedes-AMG SL is the arrival of the SL 63 S E Performance plug-in hybrid, which combines a V8 and rear electric motor for 805 horsepower. The gas-only SL 43, SL 55 and SL 63 models otherwise receive light trim and equipment updates rather than a redesign.
About the 2024 Mercedes-Benz AMG SL
R232 generation, introduced for the 2022 model year; 2024 is the third year of this design and not a mid-cycle refresh.
The Mercedes-AMG SL is a four-seat luxury roadster built to combine open-air comfort with serious sports-car speed. Its defining traits are a power soft top, a richly equipped cabin, adjustable digital displays and AMG-developed engines and chassis hardware. Compared with more narrowly focused sports cars, the SL emphasizes everyday comfort and grand-touring usability while still delivering strong acceleration and capable handling.
The 2024 range spans the rear-wheel-drive SL 43, the 469-hp AWD SL 55 and the 577-hp AWD SL 63, with Touring versions focused more on road comfort and Performance versions adding more specialized handling hardware. Notable features include an adjustable 11.9-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, massaging front seats with neck-level heating, and rear-axle steering on the V8 models.
