Mercedes-AMG is bringing its sports car DNA to the full-size electric SUV segment. The new GT SUV is officially here with up to 1,153 horsepower, a 0-60 mile-per-hour time of 2.4 seconds, and DC fast charging at up to 710 kilowatts.
The 2028 Mercedes-AMG GT SUV is the first full-size SUV developed entirely in-house by AMG. It's also the second model based on the brand's new AMG.EA electric performance platform, following the recently unveiled AMG GT 4-Door Coupe.
Three versions will be available at launch: the GT53 SUV, GT55 SUV, and range-topping GT63 SUV. The electric SUV is expected to arrive at US dealerships in summer 2027.
The GT55 and GT63 pack three electric motors—one at the front and two at the rear. The front motor can switch off when it's not needed to save energy, then kick in when extra power or traction is required.
The entry-level GT53 takes a simpler approach, with two electric motors, one at each axle. It also gets a two-speed transmission at the rear, with a shorter first gear for quick acceleration and a taller second gear for more efficient highway driving.
All three models feature AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive, while the GT55 and GT63 can also send power to individual rear wheels for better traction and handling and traction.
The AMG GT SUV uses an 800-volt electrical system and comes with one of two battery packs, depending on the model:
The GT55 and GT63 will charge at up to 710 kilowatts, while the GT53 tops out at 600 kilowatts.
