- Reports point to an October 17, 2026 debut for the electric GT SUV at The 140 Festival in Stuttgart.
- The SUV is expected to be Mercedes-AMG's first ground-up electric GT model engineered entirely in-house.
- Early reports suggest first customer deliveries could begin in early 2027.
Mercedes-AMG’s plans for its first independently developed SUV are coming into focus, even if they are not yet official. Several outlets report that the fully electric GT model will debut on October 17, 2026.
The world premiere is expected at The 140 Festival, staged by the Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart. The SUV is described as a clean-sheet AMG project rather than a reworked donor model.

Reported Debut Date, Venue And First Deliveries
According to Tarantas, October 17, 2026 is the date cited for the reveal, but the SUV will not reach garages right away. Reports point to a 2027 market launch, with early deliveries mentioned for the beginning of that year and no firm month confirmed.
The project itself is not new. AMG announced plans for a large electric SUV back in November 2024, describing a full-size "super-SUV" that would sit above current EQE and EQS SUVs and act as the second model on the all-electric AMG.EA platform.
Production is expected to land at Sindelfingen, a plant Mercedes-Benz has already converted for electric vehicle assembly. That marks a shift for AMG products that traditionally come out of Affalterbach.
Prototype coverage has linked test vehicles to advanced chassis technology, but Mercedes-AMG has yet to publish full suspension and steering specifications for the SUV.
How The AMG.EA Platform Ties The SUV To The GT 4-Door
The GT SUV is the second vehicle built on AMG.EA, the dedicated electric architecture AMG developed for its own performance EVs. The first is the Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe, a performance sedan that has been revealed but not yet launched onto the market.
That sedan sets a brutal benchmark. The range-topping GT 63 4-Door is quoted with 1,153 horsepower and up to 1,475 pound-feet of torque, an 800-volt electrical system, a 106-kilowatt-hour battery, and direct-current fast charging with peak power of more than 600 kilowatts at suitable stations.
AMG has not confirmed whether the SUV will match those numbers. Its tri-motor electric SUV coupe layout is expected to share the axial-flux YASA motor concept, directly cooled battery cells and 800-volt electrical architecture with its four-door relative.
The SUV's proposed role in AMG's broader shift is clear. It builds on the brand's electrified sedan work and would push AMG.EA into a full-size super-SUV placed above the current EQE and EQS SUVs.
Motor1 has reached out to Mercedes-AMG for confirmation, and we will update this story if the company responds.
Motor1's Take: If the reported schedule holds, the October 2026 debut will show whether AMG keeps its performance halo in a taller, heavier SUV. Fans and rivals will judge handling, cooling and real-world range. Pricing, options and the production ramp will decide if AMG's buyers follow into EVs. Early customer feedback will be telling.
