- 2028 Mercedes-AMG GT SUV is Mercedes-AMG's first SUV built from the ground up, positioned as the beefier SUV cousin to the GT four-door coupe.
- The GT SUV delivers over 1,150 horsepower from three axial flux motors, matching the output of the earlier GT four-door coupe sedan.
- Mercedes-AMG GT four-door coupe debuted earlier this year with the same three axial flux motors producing over 1,150 hp, establishing the powertrain architecture the SUV now extends.
- The GT SUV supports ultra-fast charging, per the product description in the source.
- Mercedes' AMG performance brand is extending its axial-flux-motor EV lineup from a sedan into the high-margin SUV body style for the 2028 model year.
Why it matters: AMG's first purpose-built SUV carries the brand's 1,150+ hp axial-flux-motor architecture — previously only in the GT four-door coupe sedan — into the SUV segment, giving Mercedes a flagship performance EV SUV for the 2028 model year with a clear differentiator on both raw power and charging speed.
