Whether you loved it or hated it, Mercedes sure got the car world talking when it showed off the 2027 AMG GT 4-Door Coupe EV. The styling was a wild departure from the Mercedes design language we're used to, it's the first production EV to feature axial flux motors, and if you spring for the GT63, it makes up to 1,153 horsepower. According to Mercedes, that's enough power to give it an official 0-to-60-mph time of 2.0 seconds. But crossovers still rule in 2026, and that means it's time for the new Mercedes-AMG GT SUV.
If you want the most impressive performance, the 4-Door Coupe is still the one to buy over the larger, taller, more upright GT SUV. But the SUV borrows a lot more than the powertrain from the officially-not-a-sedan. Imagine the 4-Door Coupe as a crossover, and you probably pictured something pretty similar to what you see here. And in person, it works pretty well. I don't know if the SUV will win over anyone who already hated the 4-Door Coupe's styling, but personally I think the front end works better in crossover form, though I don't like the rear treatment quite as much.

The 2026 Porsche Cayenne Electric Turbo Sets a New Standard
Look at the spec sheet, and the Cayenne Electric Turbo has the capacity to be the most boring Porsche “Turbo” of them all. This is a big SUV that weighs nearly 6000 pounds and has no brawny V-8 to provide the sense of occasion of its combustion-powered siblings. Yet, after a brief stint behind the wheel, I was in the driver’s seat wearing a look of utter bewilderment and an unbreakable smile. This large, electric SUV is one great big ball of fun. And not just because of the huge performance; it can also play elite luxury cruiser when it’s done rearranging your organs. The Cayenne Electric is one of those cars that feels way better than it needs to. Underneath, it sits on the PPE platform, shared with Audi EVs and the Macan Electric, but talk to the engineering team, and they admit changing things substantially for the range-topping Cayenne Electric. Which, despite its shared name and similar design, is effectively unrelated to the gasoline-powered Cayenne. Use the Electric Turbo’s launch-control system, and the SUV unleashes up to 1139 hp and 1106 lb-ft of torque from its mighty dual-motor setup.
