Most Expensive Mercedes Cars in the World

Who would’ve thought the world’s very first carmaker would still be setting records nearly 140 years later—not just for innovation, but for price tags that could fund a luxury vacation home or a fully optioned Porsche 911? When Karl Benz patented his motorwagen in 1886, he launched what we now know as the modern automobile. Since then, Mercedes-Benz has evolved from pioneering combustion engines to redefining what ultra-luxury looks and feels like.

Today, the three-pointed star graces everything from sophisticated sedans to futuristic electric SUVs and V12-powered land yachts. Of course, for many, even the “cheapest Mercedes” car on this list is far out of reach. But that’s part of the appeal. There’s something undeniably fascinating about seeing just how extravagant a Mercedes can get when the brand goes all out—whether it’s a limited-edition Maybach or a vintage icon that smashes auction records.

Here is the list of the most expensive Mercedes cars in the world.

How Much is the Most Expensive Mercedes in the World?

Which is the most expensive Mercedes in the world right now, and how much does it cost? As of 2025, that crown goes to the ultra-rare Mercedes-Maybach S680 Edition Nordic Glow, priced at an eye-watering $340,000 (₹2.88 Crores). Built for the elite few, this exclusive edition takes the flagship Maybach S-Class and infuses it with Nordic-inspired styling—think a two-tone exterior mimicking the aurora borealis, custom interior finishes, and the full suite of Maybach luxury enhancements. Only 50 units will ever be made. Apart from the S680 Nordic Glow, other high-end Mercedes models in production include the Maybach SL Class, AMG GT 63 Coupe, and the Maybach EQS SUV Night Series—all priced between $206,000 to $250,000 (₹1.74 to ₹2.12 Crores), depending on the trim and options.

But when it comes to the most expensive Mercedes of all time, it's not one from the showroom floor—it’s a vintage legend that shattered every record at auction. In 2022, a 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR Uhlenhaut Coupe sold for a jaw-dropping $142 million (₹1,220+ Crores), making it not just the most expensive Mercedes ever, but the most expensive car ever sold at auction, period. Only two of these prototypes were ever built, and their rarity, paired with unmatched historical significance, makes them priceless icons in the automotive world. Often regarded as the pinnacle of engineering from Mercedes’ golden motorsport era, the Uhlenhaut Coupe is named after its creator, Rudolf Uhlenhaut, and continues to hold legendary status among collectors and enthusiasts alike.

1. Mercedes Maybach SL-Class

• Mercedes Maybach SL Class Price: Estimated at $250k (₹2.12 Crores)

When it comes to luxury, Mercedes-Benz takes things a step further with its Maybach sub-brand. 

While the Maybach series in the Mercedes Portfolio is known for its stretched sedans and opulent SUVs, with the SL 680 Monogram Series, the Brand decided to flip the script, switching to a two-seat grand touring convertible based on the fiery AMG SL63. 

Debuting in a single, fully-loaded SL680 variant, this isn’t your chauffeur-driven Maybach; it’s one built for those who enjoy the drive as much as the destination.

While the silhouette may echo the AMG SL63’s sporty proportions, the SL680 softens the aggression with an extra layer of refinement. A signature two-tone paint scheme, exclusive to Maybach, helps set it apart visually—available in just two combinations: Red Ambiance and White Ambiance, both with striking black hoods.

Under the hood, it retains the AMG heart: a 577-hp 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 paired with a nine-speed automatic and all-wheel drive. But Maybach engineers have reworked the character—taming the wildness into something quieter, smoother, and far more indulgent for long-distance cruising.

Inside, expect nothing short of a luxury cocoon. Maybach’s craftsmanship transforms the cabin into a serene lounge, proving that even a sports car can wear a velvet glove.

Pricing hasn’t been announced yet, but with the AMG SL63 already starting at $188k (₹1.59 Crores), the SL680 will command a considerable premium. And rightly so—it’s a roadster that rewrites the rules of Maybach elegance.

2. Mercedes Maybach S-Class 

• Mercedes Maybach S Class Price: $204k to $340k (₹1.73 Crores to ₹2.88 Crores)

Before you go custom-painting a private jet for achieving that distinguished mobility experience, consider this—the Maybach S-Class already does ultra-luxury on wheels with quiet, calculated restraint. While it may not shout opulence like a Rolls-Royce or a Bentley, it whispers it with authority.

You’ll spot the extra stretch in the wheelbase, the redesigned C-pillars flaunting Maybach logos, and a sliver of metal trim running down the hood. But it’s when the rear door opens that the Maybach truly makes its case. The cabin is a cocoon of comfort, laden with exquisite materials, lavish finishes, and every amenity you could expect from the uppermost grade of sedans.

Floaty, serene, and eerily quiet, this is the S-Class at its most indulgent. Wafting down the road, it isolates you from the outside world like a sensory deprivation tank on four wheels.

The V8 is good, but if you're going Maybach, go all in. The S680 swaps in a 6.0-liter V12 that pumps out 621 horsepower, channeled through Mercedes’ 4Matic all-wheel-drive system. 

For those who crave even more exclusivity, the 2025 S680 Edition Nordic Glow is the most expensive Mercedes in production today, priced at around ₹2.88 Crores ($340k). It brings Northern Lights-inspired flair with a unique two-tone paint and bespoke interior touches. Limited to just 50 units, this special edition is loaded with every available luxury add-on—and carries a price tag to match.

3. Mercedes AMG GT 63 Coupe

• Mercedes AMG GT 63 Coupe Price: $191k to $208k (₹1.62 Crores to ₹1.76 Crores)

Back with a vengeance since the 2024 model year, the Mercedes-AMG GT Coupe returns after a brief hiatus. While it shares its DNA with the AMG SL convertible, the GT 63 Coupe is a serious sports car with luxury in its bones and adrenaline in its veins.

At its core lies a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8, delivering 577 horsepower in the standard GT63 trim. But in typical AMG fashion—where excess is never enough, they have also added the GT 63 Pro and SE Performance variants. The GT63 Pro is a track-focused evolution that cranks up the output to 603 hp and packs an upgraded cooling system to handle the heat when pushed to the limit. 

The AMG GT 63 SE Performance, on the other hand, priced at a staggering ₹1.76 Crores ($208,400), is not only amongst the most expensive Mercedes cars, but also amongst the most powerful Mercedes cars with a combined  805 horsepower thanks to electric assistance.

The coupe also boasts cutting-edge hardware like rear-wheel steering and a hydraulic anti-roll system, allowing it to respond dynamically to road conditions and driving demands.

Wrapped in a structure of aluminum, steel, magnesium, and composites, the GT 63 Coupe doesn’t just flirt with Porsche 911 territory—it chases it down with intent.

4. Mercedes SL 63 AMG 

• Mercedes SL 63 AMG Price: $188k to $208k (₹1.59 Crores to ₹1.76 Crores)

   

Few names carry as much legacy as the SL, and the Mercedes-AMG SL-Class reclaims that heritage with a thoroughly modern twist. Re-introduced exclusively under the AMG umbrella, it blends performance and luxury in a sleek roadster body with a power-operated soft top and just enough rear seat space to call itself a two-plus-two.

Inside, it’s classic Mercedes indulgence—massaging seats, high-end materials, and a cleverly tilting touchscreen that stays glare-free when the roof's down. The adaptive suspension has been sharpened for performance, making sure this isn’t just a cruiser.

Under the hood, options start with the SL43, but step up to the SL63 or SL63 SE for the most exclusive thrill. The Mercedes SL 63 AMG opens gates to the 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 packing 577 horses, while the range-topping SL63 S E Performance brings hybrid firepower for a jaw-dropping total of 805 hp. 

5. Mercedes G 63 AMG

• Mercedes G 63 AMG Price: $187k  (₹1.58 Crores)

If there’s one machine that can glide over battered terrain as effortlessly as it charges down a drag strip, it’s the Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG. What began in 1979 as a military-grade off-roader has evolved into a luxury SUV icon, all without abandoning its roots.

Boxy, bold, and unapologetically old-school, the G-Wagon commands attention. Priced at around ₹1.58 Crore ($187k), the Mercedes G 63 AMG is one of the most expensive SUVs in the world—and it wears that badge with pride.

Under the hood roars a 577-horsepower twin-turbo V8, paired to a slick nine-speed automatic gearbox that channels brute force to all four wheels. The result? A 2.2-tonne SUV that rockets from 0 to 100 kmph in just 4.5 seconds and tops out at 220 kmph (137 mph). This is more than just a luxury truck—merging Mercedes-grade refinement with raw performance and rugged DNA. 

6. Mercedes Maybach EQS SUV 

• Mercedes Maybach EQS SUV Price: $181k to $206k  (₹1.53 Crores to ₹1.74 Crores)

Electric, extravagant, and engineered for ultimate serenity—the Maybach EQS SUV rewrites what luxury means in the age of EVs. Unlike the gasoline-powered Maybach GLS 600, this all-electric flagship stands on a dedicated platform, similar in philosophy but separate in execution.

The EQS680 SUV is crafted for those who prefer to be driven—pampered in reclining, first-class rear seats, separated from the cargo bay by a sound-insulating divider, and sipping champagne from built-in flutes. Mercedes-Maybach has transformed the already opulent EQS into a whisper-quiet sanctuary on wheels.

With dual electric motors producing 649 horsepower and all-wheel drive, acceleration is brisk and seamless. Standard air suspension with adaptive dampers ensures supreme passenger comfort over dynamic thrills.

From its sensory isolation to its tech-laden interior, the Maybach EQS SUV isn’t just another luxury EV—it’s a new benchmark in chauffeured indulgence. And if you opt for the Maybach EQS SUV Night Series version, you are looking at the most expensive SUV in Mercedes lineup, priced at an eye-watering ₹1.74 Crores ( $206k).

7. Mercedes Maybach GLS Class 

• Mercedes Maybach GLS Class Price: $179k to $205k (₹1.51 Crores to ₹1.74 Crores)

The Mercedes-Maybach GLS600 is the brand's grandest statement of opulence in high-riding family hauler class, at least among internal combustion engine models, following the arrival of the all-electric Maybach EQS SUV.

Powerbuilt on the already-polished foundation of the Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class. The key question here: what sets it apart? The answer is simple—and expensive—about $100,000 more for the refined luxury that comes standard in the Maybach GLS600. 

Inside, the cabin is nothing short of a masterpiece, featuring only the finest materials and an atmosphere of understated extravagance. Unlike the standard GLS, which seats seven, the Maybach GLS600 does away with the third row, allowing for a more limousine-like experience with cavernous rear legroom. You’ll find that the level of customization on offer allows owners to tailor the interior to their exact preferences.

Under the hood, the GLS600 packs a 550-horsepower, twin-turbo V-8, augmented by a 48-volt hybrid system. Impressively, the GLS600 can sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.7 seconds—a remarkable feat for a vehicle tipping the scales at 6,000 pounds.

The SUV’s silky-smooth ride is thanks to an advanced air suspension system, which features a special Maybach mode that virtually smooths out any imperfections in the road. 

The Maybach GLS600 is the epitome of luxury SUV engineering, and it carries a ₹1.51 Crores ($179k) price tag that reflects its first-class credentials.

8. Mercedes G Class EV 

• Mercedes G Class EV Price: $162k  (₹1.37 Crores)

   

The Mercedes G-Class has long evolved from rugged off-roader to celebrity status symbol—but now, it’s stepping into the future without shedding its roots. Meet the G580 with EQ Technology, or as it’s more casually—and fittingly—called, the G-Class EV.

Despite the shift to electric power, the G-Class EV retains its signature boxy silhouette, but under that classic skin lies a radically new electric drivetrain. With four motors—one at each wheel—delivering a combined 579 horsepower and 1,165 Nm of torque, it promises AMG-rivalling performance with unmatched off-road finesse.

Each motor operates independently, unlocking tricks that no gas-powered G could dream of. One standout is the G-Turn, a tank-like spin maneuver that rotates the SUV 360 degrees within its own length. 

Off-road credibility stays intact thanks to torque vectoring, virtual differential locks, and a crawl function—all engineered to uphold the G’s legacy of go-anywhere grit.

The G-Class EV may be electric, but it’s still every bit a G—fearless, luxurious, and now, future-ready. And it has got a price tag to match the G Class legacy, a whopping ₹1.37 Crores ($162k).
