Most Expensive Mercedes-Benz Models

Most expensive new Mercedes-Benz models

The highest starting prices on Mercedes-Benz USA's current lineup. Maybach and AMG fill the top of the list; the V12 Maybach S 680 leads the next model by $37,250 before options.

Source: mbusa.com, checked November 3, 2026. MSRP excludes transportation and handling, destination, taxes, registration and dealer fees. Some top trims (for example AMG GLS 63 and AMG GLE 63 S) were listed as “price coming soon” and are not ranked.

The AMG ONE hypercar

Above the catalog sits the Mercedes-AMG ONE, a road car built around a Formula 1-derived 1.6-liter turbocharged V6 hybrid powertrain with 782 kW (1,063 hp) of system output, per Mercedes-AMG. Production is limited to 275 cars and it is not on the US price list, so there is no current MSRP to quote. Its performance numbers are in fastest Mercedes models.

Most expensive Mercedes ever sold at auction

As of this update, Mercedes-Benz holds the top two spots for the most expensive cars ever sold at auction, both 1950s racing cars sold by RM Sotheby's at the Mercedes-Benz Museum. The 300 SLR Uhlenhaut Coupé is a closed coupé derived from the 300 SLR racing car; the 300 SL road car is its better-known relative.

Prices are shown in the sale currency; US-dollar conversions reported at the time ranged from about $142 million to $144 million for the Uhlenhaut Coupé and about $53 million to $54 million for the W 196 R Stromlinienwagen, depending on the exchange rate used.

What buyers see on dealer lots

Starting MSRP is the floor. In CarWhere's live-listing data (as of 2026-10-25), the median asking price of a new Mercedes-Benz G-Class reflects how the cars on dealer lots are actually equipped.

Model-level medians mix trims (for example G 550 and AMG G 63; S-Class and Maybach where listed together) and options. Market-level signal, not a quote for a specific car.

On a six-figure Mercedes, the options are the price

Two G 63s or S-Classes with the same badge can differ by tens of thousands of dollars in factory options — interior and Manufaktur choices, AMG performance packages, driver-assistance and rear-seat equipment. The factory Mercedes-Benz data card lists them by option code, and Mercedes options that add resale value covers which ones the used market rewards.
