Mercedes-AMG is poised to revolutionize the luxury electric SUV market with its debut of a full-size electric SUV, an entirely in-house creation

The new model will go up against the massive Lotus Eletre and future Porsche full-size EV SUVs when it arrives in a few years.

AMG has confirmed the development of an all-electric super SUV, which will be underpinned by its own AMG.EA platform. The new model will rival the Lotus Eletre, the upcoming Porsche Cayenne electric and the BMW XM hybrid.

Mercedes-AMG is building a big car using lots of electricity and likely a fair few spells. That shady teaser pic above previews AMG’s first-ever SUV. An electric SUV.

AMG has produced a sportier version of the Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV, but on Thursday it announced a larger standalone model based on its own AMG.EA dedicated EV platform. A teaser sketch released as part of the announcement shows a fairly sleek silhouette by big SUV standards, with a steeply raked rear roof pillar and low roof line.

The electric AMG SUV will use the same AMG.EA platform as AMG's upcoming electric sedan, with prototypes undergoing initial testing this winter.
