GRRL! SUMMARY:
- Mercedes-AMG has announced plans to produce a dedicated electric SUV as part of its expansion into fully electric vehicles, marking a significant milestone as this will be the first critically designed electric SUV built on the new AMG.EA performance EV platform since the brand’s inception.
- This new electric offering will join an already impressive lineup that includes five standalone cars, including a forthcoming electric sedan that has been highly anticipated, showcasing Mercedes-AMG’s commitment to leading the charge in electric performance vehicle development while differentiating its design aesthetic from the existing EQ-branded offerings.
- While specific performance specs and timelines for the electric SUV remain undisclosed, the initiative is seen as a direct response to competitors; particularly, it aims to rival the BMW M division’s plug-in hybrid XM, which debuted in 2022, highlighting the competitive dynamics in the high-performance electric market and the urgency for Mercedes-AMG to launch their SUV before the XM’s production runs out in 2028.
