Design and Styling
The SUV borrows heavily from the GT sedan's aesthetic. It features a low-slung Panamericana grille, slim full-width light strip, large intakes, and sculpted hood.
In profile, a long wheelbase and low roofline give a planted stance. Flush door handles, large wheels, and pronounced rear haunches complete the look.
At the rear, tri-circle taillights sit within a black panel, and an integrated roof spoiler adds function. An optional active Aerokinetics rear diffuser may be offered.
Interior and Technology
The cabin mirrors the GT sedan, with added cargo space. A 14-inch digital instrument cluster and 10.2-inch infotainment screen run MB.
OS software with AI integration.
Features include augmented-reality head-up display, Burmester 4D sound, performance telemetry, and customizable drive modes. Red stitching, Alcantara sports seats, and carbon fiber trim enhance the performance feel.
Powertrain and Performance
The SUV rides on the AMG. EA architecture with aluminum-intensive construction.
Adaptive air suspension, rear-axle steering, and active roll stabilization keep the higher center of gravity in check.

Electric power comes from axial-flux motors by YASA.
The GT 63 tri-motor produces 1,153 hp (860 kW) and 1,475 lb-ft (2,000 Nm) of torque, enabling 0-60 mph in about 2.5 seconds.
A lower GT 55 variant offers 805 hp (600 kW).
The 106 kWh battery with cylindrical cells supports 800-volt architecture and DC fast charging up to 600 kW.
WLTP range is up to 435 miles (700 km).
The SUV will feature synthesized gear shifts and a faux V8 soundtrack, mimicking a combustion engine experience.
Market Position and Launch
Mercedes-AMG's electric SUV will compete with the Porsche Cayenne Electric, Lotus Eletre, and Xiaomi YU7 GT.
