Mercedes-AMG has revealed its first-ever performance SUV, the AMG GT SUV, developed entirely under the performance division's banner. This new electric SUV shares design cues with the AMG GT 4-door sedan, which was recently updated and electrified. The AMG GT SUV is larger than the Mercedes EQE SUV, measuring 5.08 meters long and 2.00 meters wide, with a trunk capacity of 607 liters plus a 78-liter front trunk.
The interior mirrors the AMG GT 4-door, featuring a driver-focused cockpit with an AMG steering wheel, a 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster, and a 14-inch central touchscreen. The passenger also gets a 14-inch screen, and the vehicle offers adjustable drive modes, air suspension, and rear-wheel steering. Sporty seats, extensive leather, Alcantara, and carbon fiber trim are standard.
Three all-wheel-drive electric powertrain options will be available. The entry-level "53" model produces 367 hp, boosting to 544 hp for 53 seconds, with a 0-100 km/h time of 4.2 seconds. It uses a 106 kWh battery for a range of 668 km and supports ultra-fast charging at 600 kW, reaching 80% in 11 minutes.
The "55" version offers 721 hp, or 816 hp in boost for 55 seconds, achieving 0-100 km/h in 3.1 seconds. It comes with the 106 kWh battery (585 km range) or an optional 128 kWh battery (700 km range), with charging speeds up to 710 kW.
The top-tier "63" model also has 721 hp normally, but can deliver a massive 1,169 hp for 63 seconds, enabling a 0-100 km/h sprint in just 2.7 seconds. It offers the same battery options and charging capabilities as the "55" model. All versions feature a simulated gear shift and an artificial V8 engine sound.
The AMG GT SUV is slated for release in Israel in the second quarter of 2027, with the sedan version expected in the first quarter.
