The key upgrade for the new model involves the use of a more powerful 3.0L inline-six cylinder turbocharged engine, with a maximum power output of 455 horsepower and a peak torque of 600 Newtons-meters.

It has a maximum power output of 455 horsepower and a peak torque of 600 Newtons-meters. In supercharged mode, the peak torque can be increased to 640 Newtons-meters in just 10 seconds.
The Integrated Starter Generator (ISG) provides 17kW/205 Newtons-meters of auxiliary power, enhancing the vehicle's throttle response performance while also contributing to fuel efficiency.
The transmission for the new model is a nine-speed automatic.
In terms of the chassis, the AMG-specific dynamic handling system, AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive, and AMG RIDE CONTROL variable damping suspension system are all included.
The AMG DYNAMIC PLUS package is also available, unlocking the RACE mode, active engine mount, electric rear axle differential, and the first introduction of Drift Mode in AMG SUV models.
