Mercedes-AMG is set to introduce a new high-performance SUV based on the AMG.EA platform, positioned between the EQE SUV and EQS SUV in terms of dimensions. With a focus on performance and electric technology, the new model will feature a unique dashboard design and new AMG.OS software.
AMG CEO Michael Schiebe stated, “SUVs have been among our most popular models for many years. We are responding to this by offering customers a high-performance off-roader based on the AMG.EA platform. Our new high-performance architecture follows a clear philosophy: AMG first, EV second.”
While details about the battery technology remain undisclosed, it is hinted that a different chemistry combination will be used to enhance efficiency and extend the range compared to existing electric-powered AMG models. Development efforts are also being made to improve heat management, particularly in liquid cooling, to support faster charging rates.
The new AMG SUV will feature double-wishbone and multi-link suspension with the Active Ride Control system, providing reduced body roll and constant self-leveling properties. This system, already present in models like the SL, GT, and G-Class, enhances ride quality by isolating compression and rebound characteristics at each wheel.
Furthermore, the Active Ride Control system will automatically adjust ride height at higher speeds for improved aerodynamic efficiency. Production of the new SUV will take place alongside the upcoming saloon at Mercedes’ Sindelfingen facility in Germany.
With a focus on innovation and performance, the new AMG SUV promises to deliver a thrilling driving experience while embracing the advancements in electric technology. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting new model from Mercedes-AMG.
