Mercedes-AMG unveiled the GT SUV on 17 October 2026, introducing the first full-size SUV developed in-house by its Affalterbach performance division. The all-electric model is the second car built on the AMG.EA architecture. At the top of the range, three axial-flux motors deliver a claimed peak output of 860 kW, equivalent to 1,169 metric horsepower. Just as important to AMG's engineering pitch is the ability to repeat demanding acceleration runs without rapid performance fade.
The flagship GT 63 SUV produces up to 2,000 Nm of torque. Mercedes quotes 2.7 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h without rollout, or 2.5 seconds using a one-foot rollout. That distinction matters when comparing acceleration figures from different manufacturers. With the Driver's Package, top speed is 270 km/h. The GT 55 SUV retains the three-motor layout but delivers 600 kW, while the entry-level GT 53 SUV uses two conventional synchronous motors producing 400 kW.
The two stronger versions package a pair of axial-flux motors on the rear axle and a third at the front. The front unit can disconnect under lighter loads to reduce drag. Independently controlled rear motors also enable torque distribution between the back wheels. AMG claims as much as 530 kW of continuous output for the GT 55 and GT 63, a figure intended to distinguish sustained performance from a short-lived power peak.
Both a 106 kWh and a 128 kWh usable battery are offered. Their cylindrical cells are directly cooled by an electrically non-conductive fluid, with the thermal system designed around repeated high loads. For the larger battery, AMG specifies DC charging at up to 710 kW and a 10-to-80-percent charge in approximately 12 minutes under suitable conditions. It quotes as much as 700 km of WLTP range. Those are manufacturer figures rather than independently established real-world results.
An actively managed hydraulic suspension system, AMG ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL+, counteracts body roll and pitch. Rear-wheel steering and an adjustable roof spoiler add to the chassis hardware. Inside, the SUV takes a more theatrical approach: recorded AMG combustion-engine sounds, simulated shifts and seat vibrations are available to accompany an otherwise silent electric drivetrain.
Mercedes says the GT 53 SUV will open for orders on 20 October, starting at €113,050. The GT 55 and GT 63 are due to follow in spring 2027. Assembly is planned for Mercedes-Benz's Sindelfingen plant, where a hall has been adapted for AMG.EA production.
