Mercedes-AMG is taking its electric performance ambitions into SUV territory with the new 2028 AMG GT SUV, its first full-size SUV developed entirely in-house. Built on the dedicated AMG.EA high-performance electric architecture, it combines sports car performance with the practicality of a five-seat SUV.

The range launches with three versions: GT 53, GT 55 and flagship GT 63. The GT 63 uses three axial-flux electric motors producing up to 1,153 hp, 711 hp of continuous output and 1,475 lb-ft of torque. Mercedes estimates 0 to 60 mph in just 2.4 seconds using a one-foot rollout measurement.

The GT 55 also gets three motors, delivering up to 805 hp, while the entry-level GT 53 uses two conventional electric motors producing 536 hp. The GT 55 and GT 63 feature a 128 kWh battery, compared with 106 kWh in the smaller-battery configuration.

Range and charging are equally ambitious. Mercedes quotes up to 700 km of WLTP range for the GT 63, with charging at up to 710 kW. Under ideal conditions, the battery can gain up to 450 km of WLTP range in just 10 minutes.

To control its considerable weight and power, the SUV features AMG ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL+ suspension with active roll and pitch stabilisation. Rear-wheel steering and configurable driving modes further aim to deliver sports car agility in a much larger vehicle.

Inside, the cabin combines a digital cockpit with AMG RACE ENGINEER controls. The AMGFORCE Sport+ mode adds simulated gear changes and engine sounds, recreating some of the emotional character traditionally associated with combustion-powered AMG models.

The 2028 Mercedes-AMG GT SUV is scheduled to reach US dealerships in summer 2027. European pricing and final market-specific availability remain to be confirmed.
