Mercedes-AMG is preparing to double down on electric performance, and its next move will be a dramatic one.
AMG CEO Michael Schiebe has confirmed that an electric SUV coupé will join the brand’s growing EV lineup, with a full unveiling planned for the second half of 2027.
The new model will sit alongside a more traditionally styled electric AMG SUV due in early 2027, with both vehicles closely related under the skin.
Each will ride on AMG’s dedicated AMG.EA platform, which also underpins the production version of the GT XX concept.
That architecture brings a round-cell battery design, 800-volt electrical system, and a tri-motor setup featuring one motor at the front and two at the rear, delivering well over 1,000 horsepower.
Speaking ahead of his move to lead Mercedes-Benz’s Top End Vehicle Group, Schiebe made it clear that SUVs are central to AMG’s future.
The body style now accounts for more than half of AMG’s global sales, and the electric SUV coupé is designed to push that momentum further, pairing extreme performance with a more aggressive, sloping roofline than its boxier sibling.
Before either SUV arrives, AMG will reveal its first fully AMG-exclusive electric car later this year. That four-door performance EV, effectively an indirect successor to the AMG GT 4-Door, was previewed by the GT XX concept, which boasted 1,341 horsepower, a claimed 223 mph top speed, and ultra-rapid charging capability.
With active aerodynamics already teased, AMG’s electric era is shaping up to be anything but quiet.
