This flagship SUV will measure around 5,100mm in length, with a wheelbase exceeding 3,000mm for ample interior space. Key features include an 800V electric system, specialized axial flux motors, and a custom AMG.OS operating system dubbed AMG.OS. It will leverage the new AMG.EA platform, shared with the GT 4-Door Coupe, and employ advanced electric motors from Yasa, offering exceptional power density.
Markus Schäfer, Mercedes-Benz’s technology chief, lauds the AMG.EA platform’s technological prowess, particularly its axial flux motor technology and high-performance battery setup. The SUV will boast over 1,000hp potential, aided by sophisticated torque vectoring and four-wheel-drive capabilities.
Production is slated alongside the GT 4-Door Coupe at Mercedes-Benz’s Sindelfingen plant, with preparations underway for these flagship AMG models. This endeavor underscores AMG’s commitment to expanding its electric performance lineup, following with an electric version of the CLA and related performance variants of compact models in the future.
