Mercedes-AMG has revealed the GT SUV, its first in-house-developed full-size SUV and the second model based on the AMG.EA electric performance architecture.

The new electric SUV will be offered in GT 53, GT 55 and GT 63 forms, with the flagship GT 63 producing up to 860kW and 2000Nm.

Mercedes-AMG lists a maximum WLTP range of up to 700km for 128kWh versions of the GT 63 and GT 55, while peak DC charging power rises as high as 710kW.

The entry-level GT 53 SUV is available to order in Germany from 20 October, priced from 113,050 euros including 19 per cent VAT.

The GT 55 and GT 63 SUV models are due to follow in spring 2027.

The Mercedes-AMG GT SUV will be viewed against high-output performance SUVs such as the 2027 Porsche Cayenne and 2027 BMW XM, although its model range is built around battery-electric drivetrains.

Three variants, up to 860kW

The GT 63 and GT 55 use three axial flux motors, with one motor on the front axle and two on the rear axle.

The GT 53 uses two synchronous motors, one at the front and one at the rear.

All three variants use fully variable AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive.

In the GT 63 and GT 55, the rear drive unit enables torque vectoring between the rear wheels.

Jörg Burzer, Member of the Board of Management, Mercedes-Benz Group AG, Chief Technology Officer, Development & Procurement, said: "With the new Mercedes-AMG GT SUV, we’re bringing the groundbreaking innovations of our AMG.EA architecture to a full-size SUV."

"Powered by three pioneering axial flux motors and a revolutionary high-voltage battery, we’re setting a new benchmark in the electric SUV segment," Burzer said.

"We’re demonstrating that electric performance today no longer requires any compromises in sustained power, range or charging speed."

The GT 63 has a claimed 0-100km/h time of 2.7 seconds, or 2.5 seconds when measured with a one-foot rollout.

It reaches 200km/h in 7.2 seconds, or 6.8 seconds using the same rollout measurement.

The GT 55 lists a 0-100km/h time of 3.1 seconds, while the GT 53 lists 4.2 seconds.

Mercedes-AMG lists up to 530kW of continuous output for the GT 63 and GT 55, and 270kW for the GT 53.

The 800-volt AMG High Performance Electric Battery is offered in 106kWh and 128kWh usable capacities, depending on variant.

The 106kWh battery can charge at up to 600kW DC, while the 128kWh battery can charge at up to 710kW DC.

Mercedes-AMG lists a 10-80 per cent DC charging time of 11 minutes for 106kWh versions and 12 minutes for 128kWh versions.

The GT 63 and GT 55 can add up to 386km of WLTP range in 10 minutes with the 106kWh battery, or up to 454km with the 128kWh battery.

The GT 53 can add up to 440km of WLTP range in 10 minutes.

The system can also charge on 400-volt infrastructure, with Mercedes-AMG listing 10-80 per cent charging times of 14 minutes for the 106kWh battery and 16 minutes for the 128kWh battery at a 400kW charger.

The GT SUV measures up to 5084mm long, 2001mm wide and 1656mm tall, with a 3040mm wheelbase.

Boot capacity is listed at 607 litres with the rear seats in use, expanding to 1740 litres, while a 78-litre front storage area is also included.

AMG Active Ride Control+ is standard on the GT 63 and optional on the GT 55.

The suspension uses triple-stage adjustable air springs, an 8.2-litre pressure reservoir and active hydraulic elements in place of conventional stabiliser bars.

Active rear-axle steering is standard, with up to 6 degrees of rear steering angle.

Below 80km/h, the rear wheels turn opposite to the front wheels to aid manoeuvrability.

Above 80km/h, the rear wheels turn in the same direction as the front wheels by up to 1 degree to support stability.

The GT 53 uses steel brakes, the GT 55 gets steel brakes with optional carbon-ceramic brakes, and the GT 63 has carbon-ceramic brakes as standard.

The GT 63 and GT 55 include an active AEROKINETICS roof spoiler, which adjusts from 150km/h depending on vehicle speed, acceleration and driving dynamics.

An AEROKINETICS Airpanel in the front bumper uses vertical slats to regulate cooling airflow.

Inside, the GT SUV has a 14.0-inch multimedia display angled towards the driver and a 10.2-inch instrument cluster.

A separate 14.0-inch front passenger display is available.

The GT 63 and GT 55 also feature the AMG Race Engineer Control Unit, with three rotary controls for response, cornering behaviour and traction settings.

AMGFORCE Sport+ adds reproduced AMG V8 sounds for the GT 63 and GT 55, and reproduced AMG six-cylinder sounds for the GT 53.

The system also includes simulated gear changes, steering wheel paddle inputs, a specific display design and integrated seat shakers.

The latest MBUX system is based on Mercedes-Benz Operating System and integrates ChatGPT, Microsoft Bing and Google Gemini AI agents.

AMG-specific software includes AMG Performance Menu, AMG Set Up and AMG Track Pace.

Stefan Weckbach, Chairman of the Management Board of Mercedes-AMG GmbH and Head of Business Units Mercedes-Benz G-Class & Mercedes-Maybach, said: "Our customers will experience the Mercedes-AMG GT SUV as a vehicle that, for the first time, uniquely combines two worlds: the practical advantages of a full-size SUV with maximum space, comfort and versatility, alongside the emotional sports-car character of a genuine AMG."

"The key to this lies in the high-tech from Affalterbach," Weckbach said.

"In short: SUV by shape.
GT by nature."

Production takes place at Mercedes-Benz’s Sindelfingen plant in Hall 32, which has been reworked for AMG.EA technology.

Mercedes-AMG says key body components, including pressed parts, the body-in-white and paintwork, are also produced at the Sindelfingen site.

Mercedes-Benz lists the technical figures as preliminary, with confirmed official values still to follow.
