New 2023 Mercedes-Benz SL R232 interior

The cabin of the new R232 SL has been revealed. The SL now features a 2+2 layout for the first time since the R129 generation and ditches a folding metal roof in favour of a lightweight soft top.

Inspired by the W198 300SL Roadster, the interior boasts a special ‘hyperanalogue’ theme, blending digital and analogue features such as a fully digital, 12.3-inch LCD instrument cluster integrated into a three-dimensional visor. Upholstered in nappa leather (or nappa/Dinamica microfibre) and complete with integrated headrests, the seats are more figure-hugging than before but retain a luxurious feel. Inside the new SL, you’ll also find Merc’s latest MBUX infotainment system with 11.9-inch touchscreen, plus four galvanised air vents. A head-up display is optional. You will be able to read much more about the new, AMG-only R232 SL in the next edition of Mercedes Enthusiast, on sale November 19th
