Mercedes-AMG Develops First Standalone High-performance SUV

Mercedes-AMG is developing an SUV entirely in-house and it’s happening for the first time in the company’s 57 year history. It will be an off-roader, the company has confirmed, and will be built on the company’s proprietary AMG.EA electric high-performance platform. Development vehicles are set to undergo initial test drives soon. 

Now there are high performance SUVs already in the company’s line-up including the G63, GLA, GLB, GLC, GLE, GLS and even the EQE, but the latest SUV project is something different. While we only get to see the silhouette of the car for now, more will be revealed soon but from the looks of it, we have a full-size SUV on our hands. 

This will be the second model to be built on the all-electric AMG.EA high-performance platform. Michael Schiebe, Chairman of the Board of Management of Mercedes‑AMG GmbH and Head of the Mercedes‑Benz G‑Class & Mercedes‑Maybach divisions said, “Our new high-performance architecture follows a clear philosophy: ‘AMG First, EV Second.’ This means that the vehicles not only excel as electric vehicles but also embody the core AMG qualities of emotion and performance.”
