Has Affalterbach built the ultimate performance SUV? Rory Reid breaks down the all-new, fully electric Mercedes-AMG GT SUV to find out if AMG’s standalone high-performance crossover can deliver true supercar thrills in a family-friendly package.
Built from the ground up on the dedicated AMG.EA electric platform—sharing its axial-flux motor setup and high-density 106 kWh battery tech with the AMG GT 4-Door Coupé—this isn't just an upgraded Mercedes SUV. It’s a clean-sheet hyper-SUV pushing over 1,100 horsepower, featuring active aerodynamics, semi-active roll stabilization, and four-wheel steering designed to defy physics in the bends.
Rory explores the performance spec, the AMG cockpit, Mercedes' crazy engineering in the AMG.EA platform and if this version of the electric AMG GT will be better than the coupé.
Can it dethrone the Porsche Cayenne Electric as the king of practical performance? Drop your thoughts in the comments below!
