AMG GT SUV rollout begins with the GT 53
The launch separates the initial ordering window from the arrival of the higher-performance models. Mercedes-Benz’s AMG GT SUV launch announcement sets October 20, 2026, as the first order date for the GT 53, while the GT 55 and GT 63 are planned for spring 2027.
The €113,050 starting price applies to the entry-level version, not the range-topping model. The announcement does not specify prices for the two later variants or a customer delivery date for the GT 53.
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| GT 53 SUV | Stated output: 400 kW (544 metric horsepower) |
| GT 55 SUV | Stated output: up to 600 kW (816 metric horsepower) |
| GT 63 SUV | Stated peak output: up to 860 kW (1,169 metric horsepower) |
A dedicated electric platform with different drivetrains
The SUV is the second vehicle based on AMG’s AMG.EA high-performance electric architecture. It extends that platform into a full-size SUV, following the AMG GT four-door coupe.
The three versions do not share an identical motor arrangement. The GT 53 uses two synchronous motors, one at each axle. The GT 55 and GT 63 use three axial-flux motors, with two at the rear and one at the front.
Mercedes-AMG says the top version can accelerate from zero to 100 km/h in 2.5 seconds and reach 270 km/h with the Driver’s Package. Those are manufacturer-stated specifications, not independently tested results.
Battery choices shape range and charging claims
Mercedes-AMG lists two usable battery capacities: 106 kWh and 128 kWh. The larger battery supports a stated range of up to 700 kilometers on the WLTP test cycle; that figure should not be treated as the range of every version or a guarantee of real-world driving distance.
The company quotes peak DC charging power of up to 600 kW for the smaller battery and 710 kW for the larger one. It says the latter can add up to 450 kilometers of WLTP range in ten minutes under the stated charging conditions. These maximum figures depend on suitable charging infrastructure and battery conditions.
Conclusion
The next scheduled milestone is the GT 53 order opening on October 20, 2026. The GT 55 and GT 63 are planned to follow in spring 2027, with their prices not specified in the announcement.
