For the first time ever, Mercedes-AMG will be designing a completely bespoke SUV model in-house.
The high-performance Mercedes division announced on Thursday that this new full-size SUV model would soon begin testing.
It will be the second vehicle, after the upcoming second-generation GT 4-Door, to use the divisions unique AMG.EA all-electric architecture.
It stands to reason that the new AMG model will rival the Lotus Eletre and Tesla Model X, while also serving as a battery-powered alternative to the BMW XM. The newcomer is set to be launched around 2026.
SUVs have been among our most popular models for many years. With the Born in Affalterbach SUV, we are responding to this trend by offering our customers a truly captivating high-performance off-roader based on the AMG.EA platform, said Michael Schiebe, Chairman of the Mercedes-AMG Board of Management.
