Here’s Your Best Look Yet At The Mercedes-AMG EV Saloon

Next month, we’ll finally get to see Mercedes-AMG’s first standalone electric car in all its shiny newness. Of course, it’s 2025, so a car can’t simply be revealed. No, there must be a drawn-out hype generation campaign involving many shadowy teaser images, and right on cue, here are the latest bunch.

This new batch of pictures gives us our best look yet at the car, which is set to rival the likes of the Porsche Taycan, Audi RS E-Tron GT and BMW M’s own incoming EV M3. There’s still some pretty heavy disguise going on, though.

We already know it’ll be a low-slung four-door with a sharky, pointy nose for scything through that pesky air. Extra details we can pick up from these teasers include both front and rear lights that incorporate a minimalist three-pointed star design, something Merc’s rather fond of at the moment. We’ll let you be the judge of whether or not that’s a good thing.

There’s also what looks like a rather dramatic Kammtail rear, something we also saw on the 2022 Vision AMG concept that previewed this car in the first place. That was followed up by some shots of a more heavily disguised prototype doing some big frozen lake skids, and then last month’s reveal of a shadowy silhouette.

Actual technical details on the car are still being kept close to Affalterbach’s chest, but we know the car will be the first to sit on the AMG.EA platform, a bespoke set of electric underpinnings reserved just for Merc’s performance brand. It’s set to feature comparatively lightweight, power-dense axial flux motors and a brand new high-performance battery.

Hot on the heels of the saloon, which Mercedes insists on calling a ‘four-door coupe’, will be an AMG SUV on the same platform, also unrelated to any of Mercedes’ existing range. It’ll be a little while longer before we see that, but we’re now full speed ahead for the reveal of the saloon.
