The market for high-performance, all-electric SUVs has finally witnessed a major release from Mercedes-AMG!

Recently, the reputable overseas automotive media outlet Motor1 exclusively reported that Mercedes-AMG's first fully independently developed all-electric SUV is set to make its global debut in mid-October. Touted as a new benchmark in Mercedes-Benz's high-performance all-electric lineup, it marks the official start of a new era of high-performance electrification for the brand.

This news has been confirmed by several overseas automotive media outlets, although Mercedes-AMG has yet to issue an official announcement. It remains a significant leak with considerable credibility.

I. Overseas Media Leak: Suspected Debut on October 17 at a Grand Celebration

According to reports from reputable overseas media, the new model, named the AMG GT SUV, is expected to debut on October 17 at the Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart, Germany. However, this date has not been officially confirmed by Mercedes-AMG.

The debut will not be a simple new car launch but will take place during Mercedes-Benz's exclusive The 140 Festival, a large-scale brand celebration. The event will gather global car enthusiasts, industry media, and dealers, serving as both a platform for the new car's debut and a significant occasion for Mercedes to showcase its century-long automotive heritage and cutting-edge electrified high-performance technology.

Notably, the debut date and venue information leaked by overseas media are highly credible and detailed, with an official announcement expected soon. Car enthusiasts can eagerly anticipate the unveiling of the real car.

II. Nearly Two Years in Development: Positioned to Exceed Luxury Standards

The AMG GT SUV is not a hastily released iterative model but a highly anticipated masterpiece from AMG. As early as November 2024, Mercedes officially announced the project, setting its core positioning as a full-size "super SUV" from the outset.

Unlike conventional upgrades to Mercedes' existing all-electric SUVs, this new car has been independently developed by the AMG team in terms of research, chassis tuning, and the electric powertrain system (battery, motor, and electronics). It is a genuine AMG all-electric creation, free from the tuning logic of ordinary all-electric models, focusing on ultimate performance and driving experience.

According to industry positioning, the AMG GT SUV's product tier is fully above Mercedes' current EQE SUV and EQS SUV models. This means it will become the new flagship of Mercedes' all-electric SUV family, filling the market gap for high-end, high-performance all-electric SUVs and directly competing with global top-tier luxury high-performance SUV models.

III. Hardcore Performance Revealed: Thousand-Horsepower Unlocks Ultimate Experience

As AMG's exclusive super SUV, power performance is the core selling point of this new car. Combining the latest overseas leaked parameters, the new car will launch two main versions, with performance data that disrupts the class:

The entry-level AMG GT 55 4MATIC+ SUV delivers a combined maximum power of 816 horsepower, easily outperforming most high-performance fuel-powered and all-electric SUVs from the start. The top-tier AMG GT 63 4MATIC+ SUV sees its combined maximum power soar to 1,169 horsepower, unlocking a supercar-level acceleration experience.

More impressively, the new car's exclusive AMG.EA high-performance platform can support a peak output of 1,360 horsepower in terms of hardware limits, leaving open the possibility of even more powerful versions in the future, showcasing immense potential.

Simultaneously, the new car retains AMG's classic 4MATIC+ all-wheel-drive system, paired with exclusive chassis tuning, balancing ultimate acceleration, high-speed stability, and precise handling, perfectly inheriting AMG's brand DNA of "track-level performance."

In terms of configuration, the new car comes standard with a full suite of AMG exclusive sport kits, featuring an active aerodynamics system that adaptively adjusts the front spoiler and rear spoiler to effectively reduce drag and increase downforce at high speeds. The chassis is equipped with AMG's active ride control system and an electronically controlled limited-slip rear differential, intelligently suppressing body roll and precisely distributing power.

The cabin continues the luxury sport style, featuring an AMG high-performance sport steering wheel, suede sport seats, and an exclusive track interaction system, balancing daily luxury comfort with professional track driving needs.

The new car also features advanced intelligent chassis and dynamic damping adjustment functions, automatically adjusting suspension stiffness based on road conditions and driving modes, balancing aggressive driving and daily commuting ride quality, maximizing both practicality and performance.

Beyond chassis and exterior configurations, the new car also sees comprehensive upgrades in its electric range and intelligent cabin. According to overseas media tests, the new car's full-charge range is impressive, with real-world testing showing nearly 490 km. Paired with Mercedes' premium fast-charging technology, it effectively alleviates range anxiety for high-performance all-electric models.

The cabin features the latest generation of MBUX intelligent interaction system, equipped with a curved dual-screen + front passenger exclusive entertainment screen triple-screen combination, supporting AMG exclusive performance data display, track mode visualization, and customizable driving parameter adjustments. Paired with a full-vehicle dynamic ambient lighting system, it perfectly blends luxury ambiance with ultimate sporty tech-savviness.

The exterior and braking details also exude performance quality, with the new car's exclusive 21-inch AMG multi-spoke aerodynamic wheels, optimized for lightweight design and heat dissipation efficiency, further enhancing overall vehicle handling stability.

The braking system offers advanced optional configurations, with the top-tier version featuring AMG carbon-ceramic high-performance composite brake kits, large-sized drilled brake discs paired with exclusive high-performance calipers, delivering rapid braking response and shorter stopping distances. Even during continuous intense track driving, it effectively suppresses heat fade, thoroughly addressing the braking shortcoming of high-performance models.

Simultaneously, the body adopts extensive lightweight materials, enhancing body rigidity and driving safety while effectively reducing overall vehicle curb weight, further unleashing power potential and upgrading handling sensitivity and acceleration performance.

IV. Mercedes-Benz's Electrification Journey Officially Advances

Amid the comprehensive electrification transformation of luxury brands, where most models lean towards comfortable, energy-efficient home-oriented tuning, the arrival of the AMG GT SUV completes Mercedes' all-electric high-performance puzzle.

It is not just a new model but a declaration from Mercedes to the market: electrification does not mean weakening performance; all-electric SUVs can also possess pure track genes and ultimate driving pleasure.

From a two-year dedicated research and development project to a product positioning that surpasses class standards, and onto thousand-horsepower hardcore power, this new AMG super all-electric SUV is destined to become the biggest dark horse in the luxury car market in the second half of the year.
