A new full-size off-road luxury electric SUV is poised to shake up the market. Mercedes-AMG just previewed its first

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.

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

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.

Mercedes-AMG has just dropped a teaser for their first fully electric SUV, scheduled for a 2026 debut. Built on a dedicated AMG platform, this model aims to go beyond the typical formula of adding special touches to a standard Mercedes SUV. Instead, it’s designed from the ground up with AMG’s performance DNA at the core.

Prices still start just below the cap for the EV tax credit, but this lineup once again appears not to qualify.

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

The new model will go up against the massive Lotus Eletre and future electric Porsche SUVs when it arrives. It's been a minute since witnessing any automaker double down on any future electric vehicle investments,
