Mercedes-Benz has unveiled the first-ever AMG GT SUV, its second model on the dedicated AMG.EA electric car platform. Essentially the sister model to the all-electric AMG GT 4-Door unveiled in May 2026, the GT SUV borrows all the tech from AMG’s electric sedan and blends it with the packaging advantages of an SUV body style. The GT SUV arrives in Europe in early 2027 and will be available in three specifications: 53, 55 and 63.

Mercedes-AMG GT SUV: Styling
The AMG GT SUV does get some stylistic similarities to the sedan unveiled earlier in the year. Up front, the shape of the headlamps and the enclosed Panamericana grille (illumination is an option) are similar to the electric sedan, while at the rear, the blacked-out centre panel housing the three circular tail lamps and the edge-to-edge lightbar.
Elements unique to the SUV include more squared-off wheel arches, larger vents on the front bumper, scant use of cladding along the lower doors, fender vents behind the front wheels and a taller & flatter roofline flowing into a raked rear windshield. The 55 and 63 also feature an active spoiler atop the tailgate that deploys at speeds in excess of 150 kmph.
Mercedes-AMG GT SUV: Interior
Inside, the GT SUV features seating for up to five but little changes in terms of looks compared to its sedan sibling. The dashboard gets the same triple screen layout as the GT 4-Door EV with the 14.0-inch central touchscreen angled towards the driver and a dedicated 14.0-inch front passenger display offered as an option. Three rotary dials sit on the central floor console between the front seats. Features on offer also include Mercedes’ Panoramic Skyroof, adjustable ambient lighting, AI-enabled voice assistant, powered front seats with memory and more.
