Mercedes‑AMG Unveils 2028 GT SUV with 1,150 hp Electric Power

Mercedes‑AMG has expanded its electric lineup with the 2028 GT SUV, a ground‑up designed sport utility vehicle that delivers more than 1,150 horsepower. The model shares its powertrain concept with the brand’s earlier GT four‑door coupe, which uses three axial‑flux electric motors to achieve the same output.

The new SUV is positioned as an ultra‑fast‑charging, high‑performance people‑hauler, offering the same raw acceleration as its sedan counterpart while providing the practicality of a larger vehicle. Mercedes‑AMG describes it as the brand’s “beefier cousin” to the GT coupe, emphasizing both speed and utility.

Details on range, pricing or specific charging times were not disclosed, but the launch underscores AMG’s commitment to electrifying its performance portfolio ahead of broader market shifts.

Why It Matters

The model highlights the rapid move toward high‑performance electric vehicles in premium markets, a trend that will affect US and European consumers seeking both speed and sustainability.
