Mercedes-AMG has revealed the GT SUV as the brand’s first fully in-house developed full-size SUV and the second model built upon the AMG.EA high-performance electrical architecture.
Measuring 5084mm in length and 2001mm in width, the vehicle features a low 1656mm roofline and a 3040mm wheelbase. The thought-provoking styling, complete with active AEROKINETICS louvres and an extending roof spoiler, yields a drag coefficient of 0.27.
Up front, the vehicle utilises a steep nose and an expansive grille with vertical struts, creating a gaping frontal aesthetic that bears a subtle, passing resemblance to a deep-sea angler fish.
The flagship AMG GT 63 SUV and mid-tier 55 SUV use a tri-motor configuration featuring three axial flux motors. Two motors are integrated into a rear High Performance Electric Drive Unit alongside a compact input planetary gearbox, while a single front motor features a spur gearbox and integrated parking lock.
In the GT 63, this system produces a peak output of 860kW and 2000Nm, enabling the 0-100km/h sprint in 2.7 seconds and a 270km/h top speed. The GT 55 produces 600kW and 1860Nm.
Both variants feature an 800-volt battery architecture with directly oil-cooled cylindrical cells, available in either 106kWh or 128kWh usable capacities. The larger 128kWh pack accepts a maximum DC charging rate of 710kW, allowing a 10-80 per cent charge in a claimed 12 minutes.
An entry-level AMG GT 53 SUV adopts a dual-motor setup, with two synchronous electric motors rather than the axial flux units. It delivers a combined 400kW and 800Nm, achieving a 0-100km/h time of 4.2 seconds. The 53 model specifically incorporates a two-speed transmission on the rear axle and relies exclusively on the 106kWh battery pack, which is capped at 600kW DC fast-charging.
Chassis hardware includes the newly developed AMG ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL+ suspension system, which replaces conventional stabiliser bars with active hydraulic elements to manage pitch and roll movements. This is paired with triple-stage adjustable air springs and an active rear-axle steering system that operates at up to six degrees.
Stopping power for the flagship GT 63 is managed by carbon-ceramic brakes on both axles as standard, whereas the 55 and 53 models are equipped with steel brakes.
European order books for the entry-level AMG GT 53 SUV open on October 20, with pricing commencing at 113,050 euros. The higher-output AMG GT 63 and 55 variants are scheduled to follow in the European spring of 2027.
