Overview
The Mercedes-Benz AMG SL is the R232 four-seat convertible grand tourer, launched in 2023. It suits buyers who want an open-top Mercedes-AMG with room for four, from a 1,991 cc hybrid petrol/REV four-cylinder to a plug-in-hybrid V8. Prices run from RM999,888 to RM2,168,888, placing it firmly at the high end of Malaysia’s grand-tourer market.
AMG SL in 2026 — what's new
There is no 2026-specific update, so the AMG SL carries into 2026 unchanged. The current Malaysian range comprises the SL43, SL63 and SL63 S E Performance. The latest addition is the SL63 S E Performance, launched in 2025 with a plug-in-hybrid V8 powertrain and all-wheel drive. The SL43 remains the electrified four-cylinder entry point, while the SL63 continues as the non-hybrid V8 alternative.

Which variant to buy
Most buyers should start with the RM999,888 SL43: its 388 hp 1,991 cc hybrid petrol/REV powertrain and rear-wheel drive make it the least costly route into the SL. The RM1,898,888 SL63 brings a 577 hp 3,982 cc petrol engine, still with rear-wheel drive. Pay RM2,168,888 for the SL63 S E Performance only if 778 hp, plug-in-hybrid running and all-wheel drive matter more than the substantial extra outlay. All three use a wet dual-clutch automatic and seat four.

Mercedes-Benz AMG SL buyer's guides & reviews
Verdict
The R232 AMG SL gives Malaysian buyers a genuine four-seat convertible GT choice with three very different powertrain steps. The SL43 keeps the entry cost far below the V8s, while the S E Performance is for buyers specifically after plug-in-hybrid power and AWD. The gaps are enormous. Check the final equipment list before signing, because the available specifications chiefly distinguish these cars mechanically.
