The new AMG GT SUV starts at $127,000 (113,000 euros).
It delivers up to 1,169 horsepower and a driving range of 700 kilometers on a single charge for the top-tier variants.
The vehicle can accelerate from zero to 100 kilometers per hour in 2.5 seconds.
Mercedes is betting on luxury models to boost its profitability, as part of a plan to launch 40 new or updated models by 2027.
