After teasing a four-door coupe on its new dedicated AMG.EA electric vehicle (EV) platform, Mercedes-AMG has now provided a glimpse at its SUV sibling.
Mercedes-Benz’s performance arm has released a single image of the SUV, after releasing a teaser showing its silhouette last month.
It will be the brand’s first bespoke SUV. All previous Mercedes-AMG SUVs have been fettled versions of existing Mercedes-Benz products.

The as-yet unnamed Mercedes-AMG SUV will be the second vehicle on the AMG.EA platform, and has entered cold-weather testing.
This follows just months after its four-door coupe platform-mate underwent winter testing in Sweden.
Given both have been teased in recent months, a 2025 reveal for both appears likely.
The new SUV will feature axial-flux electric motors and a “new high-performance battery concept”.
AMG.EA-based four-door coupe
It will be developed entirely within AMG’s four walls, much as the BMW XM is a bespoke product from BMW’s M performance division.
The styling is curvaceous, but it appears to be sleeker and more hunkered-down in appearance than the Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV and its spicier AMG counterpart.
As to how much power it’ll put out, previous reports have pegged the four-door coupe at over 746kW of power – that’s 1000 horsepower, and enough to put it in contention with the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT.
It’s also comfortably ahead of the 460kW figure of Mercedes-AMG’s current flagship electric SUV, the EQE 53.
In addition to upcoming EV models, Mercedes-AMG has also taken the lead of past performance heroes including the SLS and current SL and GT.
It revealed the Vision AMG concept in 2022, underpinned by the AMG.EA platform under development and using axial-flux motors developed by Mercedes-Benz subsidiary YASA.
It’s unclear how many of the concept’s bold design elements will appear on the production SUV and four-door coupe.
