- The GT SUV is AMG's first full-size SUV developed from the ground up by the performance division.
- The GT 63 combines three axial-flux motors for a claimed peak output of 860kW.
- AMG claims a 12-minute charging time from 10–80% for the larger battery under maximum charging conditions.
Mercedes-AMG has revealed the GT SUV with up to 860kW and a claimed 0–100km/h time of 2.7 seconds in GT 63 form.
The electric newcomer is the first full-size SUV developed from the ground up by AMG and the second vehicle to use its AMG.EA architecture.
The range comprises the GT 53, GT 55 and GT 63.
AMG's performance and charging figures are preliminary and remain subject to official homologation.
Three versions, up to 860kW
The GT 63 uses three axial-flux motors producing up to 860kW and 2000Nm. Fitted with the Driver's Package, it has a claimed maximum speed of 270km/h.
Below it, the GT 55 also uses three axial-flux motors, with peak output of 600kW. The GT 53 has two synchronous motors and produces 400kW.
Active pitch and roll control is standard on the GT 63 and optional on the GT 55. Inside, those versions also have three physical Race Engineer dials alongside the driver-angled display.
AMGForce Sport+ reproduces V8 and six-cylinder sounds and simulates gear changes, with seat shakers adding a physical effect.
Charging needs the right conditions
The SUV's 800V electrical system is paired with batteries offering usable capacities of 106kWh or 128kWh. Their respective peak DC charging figures are 600kW and 710kW, while the larger pack offers a claimed WLTP range of up to 700km.
AMG quotes 10–80% charging in 12 minutes for the larger battery under maximum charging conditions. On a 400kW charger, its claimed time becomes 16 minutes; the smaller battery takes 14 minutes. Direct oil cooling for the cylindrical cells forms part of the thermal-management system.
German orders for the GT 53 open on 20 October, with the GT 55 and GT 63 following in northern spring 2027. New Zealand launch plans and pricing have not been announced.
