Mercedes-Benz Teases Camouflaged Electric SUV Prototype for AMG Division
Mercedes-Benz recently teased a camouflaged prototype of the dedicated electric SUV for its AMG performance division. This upcoming model will be the first SUV designed as an AMG model from the ground up, and it is one of two planned EVs based on the new AMG.EA platform.
The prototype showcases a sleek silhouette with a large grille up front, despite being an EV with different cooling requirements than combustion cars. Mercedes confirmed that the SUV will start testing on schedule, heading up to the Arctic Circle for cold-weather testing.
The AMG.EA models are expected to use axial-flux motors from British firm Yasa, which Mercedes acquired in 2021. Mercedes also hinted at a new high-performance battery concept with mixed cell types. In addition to the confirmed models, AMG is rumored to be considering an electric supercar based on the Vision One-Eleven concept and an AMG version of the 2026 Mercedes-Benz CLA EV.
