Mercedes-AMG has unveiled the all-electric GT SUV, a new performance flagship developed around its AMG.EA architecture. The range will comprise three variants, led by the GT 63 SUV with up to 860kW and 2,000Nm.
The GT 63 and GT 55 use three axial-flux electric motors, including a pair at the rear, while the entry-level GT 53 gets two synchronous motors producing 400kW and 800Nm. The GT 55 delivers up to 600kW, while the GT 63 tops the range with 860kW and a claimed 0-100km/h time of 2.5 seconds. Both high-performance versions have a stated continuous output of 530kW, highlighting AMG’s focus on maintaining performance under sustained load.
An 800-volt battery system uses directly cooled cylindrical cells, with usable capacities of 106kWh or 128kWh on the GT 55 and GT 63. Depending on battery configuration, peak DC charging reaches 600kW or 710kW. Mercedes-AMG claims the larger battery can add up to 450km of WLTP range in 10 minutes, with a 10-80 per cent charge taking as little as 12 minutes under suitable conditions.
Claimed WLTP range reaches up to 700km for the GT 63 and GT 55 with the larger battery, while the GT 53 is rated for up to 668km. All three use fully variable AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive.
Chassis technology includes active rear-axle steering and AMG ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL+ suspension, which uses active hydraulic elements to control body roll and pitch. The GT 63 gets the system as standard, with it optional on the GT 55. AMG has also developed a simulated engine sound experience, including recreated V8 or six-cylinder sound, simulated gear changes and seat shakers.
The SUV’s design combines a low roofline and wide stance with a claimed 607-litre boot, expanding to 1,740 litres with the rear seats folded. A further 78-litre front storage compartment provides additional space.
The GT 53 will open for orders in Europe on 20 October, priced from €113,050, with the GT 55 and GT 63 due to follow in spring 2027. Australian pricing and availability have not been announced.
