Mercedes Unveils 2028 Electric AMG GT SUV

Mercedes-AMG has unveiled the 2028 AMG GT SUV, an all-electric performance vehicle planned in three versions, with U.S. dealership arrivals targeted for summer 2027. The GT53, GT55 and GT63 share the company’s AMG.EA platform, but differ in motor configurations, output and battery capacity. Mercedes has not announced U.S. pricing or EPA range estimates. The GT53 uses two electric motors, while the GT55 and GT63 each have three, including two at the rear. Mercedes says the front motor can disconnect when not needed to save energy. The company quotes peak outputs of 536 horsepower for the GT53, 805 for the GT55 and 1,153 for the GT63. The GT63 is estimated to reach 60 mph in 2.6 seconds; Mercedes gives estimates of 3.0 seconds for the GT55 and 4.1 seconds for the GT53. A separate reviewed account reported higher peak figures for all three trims: 544 horsepower for the GT53, 816 for the GT55 and 1,169 for the GT63. The available information does not explain the differing ratings. Mercedes’ stated figures are used here for the model comparisons. The GT55 and GT63 have 128-kilowatt-hour batteries, while the GT53 has a 106-kilowatt-hour pack. Mercedes quotes peak DC charging rates...
