Electric Mercedes-AMG GT SUV unveiled with 1,153 hp and 710 kW charging

Key Points:

• Mercedes-AMG has introduced the all-electric GT SUV, featuring up to 1,153 hp from three axial-flux motors and DC fast charging capabilities up to 710 kW, with US availability starting summer 2027.
• The GT SUV is AMG’s first full-size SUV developed entirely in-house, built on the AMG.EA electric platform, and comes in three versions with varying power outputs and acceleration times, from 536 hp to 1,153 hp.
• It includes a 128 kWh battery pack for the higher trims and supports ultra-fast charging that can add up to 282 miles of range in 10 minutes, although US charging infrastructure currently limits access to these peak rates.
• The SUV features AMG’s simulated V8 engine sound, rear-axle steering, advanced active ride control on the top model, and a modern interior with multiple large screens and modest cargo space.
• Compared to the Porsche Cayenne Turbo Electric, the AMG GT SUV offers similar acceleration but superior battery capacity and charging speed, positioning it as a high-performance halo vehicle in a niche market with limited fast-charging infrastructure in the US.
