Mercedes-AMG Teases An Electric Sedan To Be Unveiled In June
- Mercedes-AMG recently teased a silhouette of an upcoming model, which is likely to be the electric replacement for the AMG GT 4-Door.
- The electric fastback will be underpinned by the AMG.EA platform.
- The incoming EV’s silhouette bears a striking resemblance to the 2022 Vision AMG concept.
Mercedes-AMG is poised to reshape its high-performance lineup with the introduction of a fully electric four-door fastback. This upcoming model was teased on social media and will replace the AMG GT 4 Door with an internal combustion engine. It is due to be revealed in full in June 2025. It integrates cutting-edge technology while retaining the aggressive DNA of the current AMG lineup.
Unlike the recently updated AMG GT coupe, which launched in 2024 with a refreshed design, this new EV will represent a clean break from traditional gasoline-powered models within the three-pointed star marque’s high-performance division.
Vision AMG Roots
The incoming electric sedan takes its initial design inspiration from the 2022 Vision AMG concept. The semi-transparent side panel and other futuristic features of that concept may not be carried over to the production version, but key styling cues are likely to survive. The concept car’s tri-part taillights are a good example of this. They hint at jet propulsion, and were likely adapted to the production vehicle. We expect the new EV, with its sleek roofline and hatchback-style rear to keep its aggressive look while enhancing aerodynamics, efficiency, and performance. A noticeable cutline on the rear fenders also confirms a four-door configuration, maintaining the model’s practicality.
AMG.EA Platform and Yasa Motor Technology
Technologically, the electric AMG sedan will sit atop the all-new AMG.EA architecture, a platform developed specifically for performance electric vehicles. The axial-flux engines developed by Yasa – a British engineering company acquired by Mercedes-Benz 2021 – are the key to unlocking this platform’s full potential. These motors promise substantial advantages in terms of compactness, power-to-weight ratio, and energy efficiency, giving AMG a technological edge in the electric performance segment.
Complementing the motors is a next-generation high-voltage battery system for ultra-fast charging and optimized energy delivery. These combined innovations promise to deliver a powertrain that not only meets AMG’s performance expectations but also aligns with the broader industry push for sustainable mobility.
Possible World Premiere
The introduction of this electric fastback is targeted for the 2026 model year, and it’s likely to coexist with the current plug-in hybrid AMG GT 63 S E Performance for a transitional period. The plug-in variant only entered the market in 2024, which suggests that Mercedes plans a gradual phase-in of its fully electric successors to avoid alienating traditional performance buyers.
