Mercedes AMG GT 2028: Specs and Trims

In the world of sports cars, we are used to exceptional power being associated with low-slung cars with streamlined bodies, while SUVs focus on providing family-friendly space. However, the 2028 Mercedes AMG GT attempts to combine both worlds through a large sports car with a high-performance electric powertrain and technologies designed to deliver strong acceleration even during long journeys.

The car comes in three main variants: the AMG GT 53 SUV, AMG GT 55 SUV, and AMG GT 63 SUV, all built on the high-performance AMG.EA electric platform. The GT 63 leads the lineup with up to 1,169 horsepower and can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.5 seconds, while the GT 55 produces 816 horsepower and the GT 53 delivers up to 544 horsepower.

The concept is not limited to impressive acceleration figures; Mercedes-AMG is also betting on ultra-fast charging, a long electric range, and a cabin that combines a sporty driving position with generous passenger space. The result is a car aimed at those who want a driving experience close to that of high-performance sports cars without giving up the advantages of large SUVs.

Power and Performance

The 2028 Mercedes AMG GT redefines the concept of the sports SUV through an electric powertrain designed to deliver substantial power and immediate response when the accelerator is pressed. The lineup begins with the GT 53, which produces 544 horsepower from two electric motors. Output rises to 816 horsepower in the GT 55 and reaches 1,169 horsepower in the GT 63, which uses three axial-flux motors within two electric drive units.

These figures are not merely differences in power on paper; they give drivers varying levels of acceleration, from strong sporty performance to exceptional thrust that places the GT 63 in the supercar category. The top variant can also maintain continuous output of up to 530 kW, equivalent to around 720 horsepower, reflecting Mercedes’ focus on delivering strong performance that does not rely solely on a short burst of acceleration.

The acceleration figures reveal the significant gap between the variants. The GT 63 accelerates from a standstill to 100 km/h in just 2.5 seconds, then reaches 200 km/h in 6.8 seconds. This means high speeds are achieved in a very short time, despite the vehicle belonging to the large SUV class.

The GT 55 takes 9.4 seconds to reach 200 km/h, compared with 13.8 seconds for the GT 53. Buyers can therefore clearly define their priorities: maximum power and sharper acceleration, or strong performance that meets daily driving needs without moving to the highest level in the lineup?

To handle this power, Mercedes relies on the variable AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel-drive system, which distributes torque according to driving conditions and available traction. This helps transform the motors’ power into controllable acceleration rather than leaving it as nothing more than large figures.

The low center of gravity and sporty driving position, together with the suspension tuning, contribute to enhanced stability and precise response when cornering.

The following table shows the power and performance specifications:

Electric Range

The 2028 Mercedes AMG GT aims to combine high performance with the ability to cover long distances. The claimed range of the GT 55 and GT 63 reaches 700 km according to the WLTP cycle, while the GT 53 offers 668 km.

These figures provide a suitable basis for daily commutes and intercity journeys, although high speeds, repeated acceleration, and air-conditioning use may affect the actual range.

Charging technology is one of the car’s most important highlights. The GT 55 and GT 63 support DC charging at up to 710 kW, with the ability to add up to 450 km of range in 10 minutes; the figure for both variants reaches 454 km. The battery can also be charged from 10% to 80% in approximately 12 minutes under suitable charging conditions.

The GT 53 offers a claimed charging capacity of up to 600 kW and can recover up to 440 km of range in 10 minutes.

Exterior Design

The 2028 Mercedes-AMG GT adopts a design that balances the presence of large SUVs with the low lines that characterize sports cars. This philosophy appears in the relatively raised front end, with a hood featuring prominent bulges that enhance its muscular appearance, while the wide fenders give the car a powerful stance on the road.

From the side, the roofline flows smoothly toward the rear and ends at the rear spoiler, maintaining a sporty appearance despite the body’s large dimensions. The prominent rear shoulders and imposing wheels also reinforce the impression of the car’s width and visual stability.

The MANUFAKTUR customization program provides extensive scope for personalizing the car, with more than 60 exclusive paint shades, as well as the option to customize certain forged-wheel details in colors such as Angel Blue, Sunny Lime, and Orange Flame.

Key exterior design features:

• A bold front end that reflects the car’s sporty nature.
• Prominent hood bulges that give the front a muscular appearance.
• Wide fenders and prominent rear shoulders that enhance the sporty look.
• A relatively low roofline ending in a rear spoiler.
• Extensive paint and wheel customization options through the MANUFAKTUR program.
• A design that combines large SUV dimensions with sports-car characteristics.

Interior Design

The cabin reflects a distinct philosophy between the front and rear rows. Up front, Mercedes-AMG places the driver in a low, integrated seating position, closer to what sports cars offer than to the elevated seating position commonly found in SUVs. This arrangement is intended to enhance the feeling of control and connection with the road.

Meanwhile, the rear seats benefit from the body’s large dimensions to provide suitable headroom and legroom, an important consideration for those planning to use the car on long journeys with family or friends. This space is complemented by the SKY CONTROL panoramic glass roof, which adds a sense of openness to the cabin.

Ambient lighting also allows the colors of the lighting and displays to be adjusted to suit the preferences of the driver and passengers, while MANUFAKTUR options enable the customization of certain cabin details, including distinctive-colored seat belts.

Key interior design features:

• A low, driver-focused seating position.
• A front design centered on sporty feel and control.
• Generous headroom and legroom in the rear row.
• SKY CONTROL panoramic glass roof.
• Customizable ambient lighting.
• Multiple options for customizing cabin colors and seat belts.

Technology and Entertainment

The car uses the latest generation of the MBUX system, together with the MB.OS operating system, which manages the vehicle’s various functions. The experience centers on a digital cockpit that places essential information in front of the driver, with interfaces tailored to AMG models and integrated artificial intelligence features designed to make interaction with the vehicle’s systems smoother.

The cabin includes a 14-inch multimedia display alongside a 10.2-inch digital instrument display. Orienting the multimedia screen toward the driver keeps information and controls within the field of view while reducing the need to divert attention from the road.

Key technology and entertainment equipment:

• Display interfaces and applications specific to AMG models.
• AMGFORCE Sport+ driving program with sound and interactive effects.
• Ambient lighting integrated with the cabin atmosphere.

Safety and Security

Safety in the 2028 Mercedes-AMG GT is also linked to its ability to control the substantial power generated by the powertrain. The variable AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel-drive system is particularly notable, adjusting torque distribution according to driving conditions to help enhance traction and response.

The AMG ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL+ suspension system is standard in the GT 63, working to reduce body roll during cornering and longitudinal movement during acceleration and braking. This technology helps keep the car more balanced, which is especially important given the substantial power and expected weight of an electric vehicle of this size.

The GT 63 also receives standard carbon-ceramic brakes, while these brakes are optional in the GT 55. This type of brake is intended to provide suitable stopping power for high-performance use, although actual braking effectiveness also depends on the tires, road, brake temperature, and driving conditions.

Key safety and security equipment announced so far:

• Variable-distribution AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel-drive system.
• AMG ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL+ active suspension system.
• Standard carbon-ceramic brakes in the GT 63 and optional in the GT 55.
• Advanced thermal management for the battery and drive units to maintain suitable operating temperatures.

How do you choose the right variant?

Choosing between the 2028 Mercedes-AMG GT variants depends on how you intend to use the car, how important acceleration is to you, and which features you want.

The Syarah team recommends considering the following criteria before selecting the variant that best suits you:

• Choose the GT 53 if you want a balance between power and range: It offers 544 horsepower and a claimed range of up to 668 km, making it a worthy option for those who want a powerful electric SUV without needing the highest performance variant.
• Choose the GT 55 if you want strong performance with a long range: It delivers 816 horsepower and a range of up to 700 km, along with high charging capabilities. It sits in the middle of the three variants in terms of power.
• Choose the GT 63 if performance is your top priority: It gives you 1,169 horsepower and 0–100 km/h acceleration in 2.5 seconds, in addition to the lineup’s highest-level suspension and braking equipment.

Before making a decision, we also recommend reviewing the final price once announced, ensuring that the charging stations available in your area are compatible with the car’s capabilities, and comparing the actual equipment of each variant. The difference in power is not the only factor that determines value for money.

Syarah Experts’ Opinion of the 2028 Mercedes AMG GT

The 2028 Mercedes-AMG GT presents a different concept in the luxury electric vehicle segment. It does not merely provide the spaciousness of a large SUV; it also attempts to deliver a sporty driving feel and performance approaching that of supercars. The GT 63 stands out as the most extreme option in the lineup, thanks to its 1,169 horsepower and claimed 0–100 km/h acceleration time of 2.5 seconds.

However, from our perspective, the most important point is not acceleration alone, but the attempt to combine high performance with the ability to cover long distances, along with fast-charging technology and advanced cooling. The GT 63’s continuous output of up to 530 kW indicates a focus on the car’s performance under load, not merely on achieving a short acceleration record.

On the other hand, the GT 63 may not be the most logical choice for every buyer, as its extremely high power may exceed daily-use requirements. The GT 53 remains worth considering for those who value range, comfort, and strong performance without seeking the lineup’s highest figures. The GT 55 offers a clear middle ground between the two.

Points worth verifying before purchase include the final price, weight, dimensions, and storage capacity, as well as the safety equipment and approved charging specifications in the Saudi market. These factors directly affect daily use and are no less important than power and acceleration figures.

Therefore, the 2028 Mercedes-AMG GT appears to be a promising choice for those seeking a luxury electric car that combines sporty performance with spaciousness. However, its value for money will depend on the official prices, final equipment, and availability in the Saudi market.
