A high-riding version of Mercedes-AMG's flagship EV performance model appears to be coming soon. Mercedes-AMG took a big leap of faith earlier this year in launching its new flagship performance vehicle, the all-electric AMG GT 4-Door Coupe. Now, it appears that a sibling model is on the way.
The performance wing of Mercedes-Benz posted a teaser on Instagram on Sunday, August 9, showing a vehicle under a dark sheet. Taillights that look suspiciously similar to those on the AMG GT 4-Door Coupe shine through the cover, but the body shape is hardly as sleek as the low-riding sedan we’re familiar with. Instead of a short, smooth roofline, the hidden vehicle rides taller, and features a more prominent hatchback. Still, the characteristic LED headlight bar and three-pointed star styling of the new AMG GT 4-Door Coupe remains.

All signs are pointing to a crossover sibling model for the AMG GT 4-Door Coupe EV, but details remain scarce. Mercedes first expressed interest in developing an electric performance SUV in November 2024; the German automaker then used the same “Born in Affalterbach” messaging to tease the EV model in December 2024. Nearly two years later, the launch of a performance-focused electric SUV appears imminent.
If the vehicle under the sheet is, in fact, an SUV version of the EV sport sedan, then we’d expect a 106-kWh battery pack to underpin the model. GT63 trims of the GT 4-Door Coupe produce upwards of 1150 horsepower, while the lower GT55 trim makes a solid 805 horsepower, and the entry-level GT53 makes 536. No matter what, the SUV sibling to the GT 4-Door Coupe will likely be as strong on performance.
