The new GT SUV combines the proportions of a large SUV with styling cues inspired by AMG sports cars. The exterior features an illuminated front grille, star-shaped daytime running lights and muscular wheel arches. A sloping roofline gives the SUV a sportier profile, while active aerodynamic elements and a deployable rear spoiler are designed to improve airflow and stability at higher speeds. The overall design focuses on balancing everyday practicality with the aggressive appearance expected from an AMG performance model.

Mercedes-AMG GT SUV - Interior and Features

Inside, the Mercedes-AMG GT SUV gets a driver-focused dashboard with a 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster and a 14-inch central touchscreen. A 14-inch passenger display is also available as an option. Other features include a panoramic SKY CONTROL glass roof, ambient lighting and a Burmester 4D surround sound system. Buyers can also choose from a range of personalisation options through Mercedes-AMG's Manufaktur programme.

The SUV also gets the newly developed AMG ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL+ suspension system. It uses active pitch and roll stabilisation to help control body movements while maintaining ride comfort. Rear-wheel steering is another feature designed to improve manoeuvrability and handling.

The Mercedes-AMG GT 53 is scheduled to go on sale first, with the GT 55 and GT 63 expected to follow in spring 2027. The company has not yet confirmed an India launch timeline or local pricing. With up to 1,169bhp, a claimed range of 700km and high-speed charging capability, the Mercedes-AMG GT SUV aims to combine electric performance with the space and practicality of a full-size SUV.
