Mercedes-AMG Unveils 1,153hp 2028 AMG GT Electric SUV With 710kW Charging

Mercedes-AMG unveiled the 2028 AMG GT SUV, the first full-size SUV developed entirely in-house from the ground up in the performance division's 59-year history, scheduled to arrive in the US next summer on the AMG.EA architecture. The flagship GT 63 trim delivers 1,153hp through three axial flux motors and weighs 5,941lbs, while the lineup also includes GT 53 and GT 55 trims, with official pricing not yet released. Built on an 800-volt architecture, the 128kWh battery in the GT 63 and GT 55 supports charging up to 710kW and an estimated max range of 435 miles, while the GT 53's 106kWh pack charges at up to 600kW, allowing a 10% to 80% charge in 12 minutes or up to 450km (around 280 miles) of WLTP range in 10 minutes. The battery uses cylindrical cells with NCMA cathodes, silicon-containing anodes, and electrically nonconductive oil flowing around each cell for thermal management, paired with an AI-driven Predictive Performance Manager that uses track-mapping data to adjust motor output and prevent overheating. To mimic combustion cars, the standard AMGFORCE Sport+ program pipes in recorded AMG V8 and six-cylinder engine audio, simulates paddle-shifted gear changes with seat vibrations, and sits alongside a 14-inch MB.OS display integrating AI agents from ChatGPT, Microsoft, and Google.
