There's a lot to like with the Mercedes-AMG GT 53 sedan. It's sporty, offers lots of trunk space, and is available with some of the best in-car tech and driver aids around. Unfortunately, the whole package doesn't work as well as some rivals. You can find four-doors that offer better performance, more utility and similar features for equal or less money, including from Mercedes-Benz itself.

Pros

Blistering acceleration from the V8 models
Extremely powerful E Performance plug-in hybrid model
Easy-to-use infotainment system
Sport seats offer good support but don't feel confining

Cons

Few interior storage options
Intrusive road noise on anything but the smoothest pavement
Large pillars and small mirrors create significant blind spots

What's new

AMG GT coupe model returns to the lineup
Minor feature updates expected for the carryover sedan

Overview

The Mercedes-Benz AMG GT debuted back for 2016 as a high-performance performance coupe developed to take on the renowned Porsche 911. Mercedes eventually discontinued it after the 2021 model year, but sports car fans should be excited to know that the two-door AMG GT is coming back for 2024.

Cost to Drive^{Cost to drive estimates for the 2024 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT 43 4dr Sedan AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo gas/electric mild hybrid 9A) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $4.45 per gallon for premium unleaded in Ohio.}

Returning after a short hiatus is the stunning and potent AMG GT Coupe. Powered by a turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine, it will offer as much as 577 horsepower and sport standard all-wheel drive and four-wheel steering. Perhaps the most major change is the addition of a back seat. Originally designed as a two-seater, the new GT Coupe now comes with two additional, albeit very small, rear seats. The cargo area has also been enlarged for increased practicality, making the GT Coupe a better option for long-distance drives. To learn more about the new iteration, check out our dedicated 2024 Mercedes GT Coupe article.

With the return of the coupe model, the AMG GT lineup is one of few that offers luxurious performance-oriented two- and four-door body styles. But it's not the only one you should consider. The BMW 8 Series should also pique your interest because it's available as a large and powerful coupe, convertible and sedan called the Gran Coupe. The Porsche Panamera is another compelling option that offers a variety of powertrain choices, but if you prefer two doors, there's of course, the 911. Check back in the coming months as we learn more about what's in store for the 2024 Mercedes-AMG GT.

Performance

8.0/10

How does the AMG GT drive? We tested the GT 53 sedan. Its engine feels strong and responsive around town and is incredibly smooth. Standard all-wheel drive means plenty of traction too. At our test track, the AMG GT 53 accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds. That's on par with other rival six-cylinder sport sedans we've tested such as the Audi S7 and BMW 840i Gran Coupe. The automatic transmission downshifts quickly when you need it and smoothly when you don't. The GT 53's engine stop-start system is unobtrusive too.

Unfortunately, the rest of the GT 53 can't match the engine's strong performance. Every car in this class is big and heavy, but the GT 53 doesn't hide its mass as well as the Porsche Panamera or Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing. The suspension helps it corner flat, but the steering lacks the precision we want from a truly great sport sedan. The brakes, too, were off the mark in our emergency braking distance tests, though they feel plenty strong in day-to-day driving. A wide turning radius that makes it hard to pull off tight U-turns is another demerit here.

Comfort

8.0/10

How comfortable is the AMG GT? The AMG GT 53's suspension is tuned firmer than we'd prefer from a sport sedan. While it's comfortable on smooth highways, the car transmits more road imperfections into the cabin than the Audi S7 or BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe. Wind and road noise is higher than we prefer too. At least the inline-six's exhaust note sounds pretty sweet.

Our test vehicle was equipped with the optional AMG Performance seats. They're thinly padded and don't offer much adjustment unless you opt for the additional adjustment package at an extra cost. Heated and ventilated seats are an option, too, as is a rear bench seat. Seems like nickel and diming to us. That said, the front seats are comfortable, and the rear buckets are well padded.

Interior

7.5/10

How’s the interior? The GT 53 was recently updated with an all-new infotainment system, though it's the same one we've seen in other Mercedes-Benz cars for the past few years. The learning curve might be a bit steep, but that's simply because there's so much that the system can do. It's relatively easy to navigate the menus using either the touchscreen or the touchpad on the center console. There are plenty of real buttons, too, for quick access to navigation or media. Some buttons on the center console are actually little screens. They look cool but totally wash out if you're wearing polarized sunglasses. The gear selector is awkwardly located too.

Getting in and out can be a bit of a challenge too. The low roofline and wide doorsills mean you have to duck and then awkwardly step in. The heavily bolstered Performance seats of our test car further impeded access. Once you're situated, you'll find the driving position to be set rather low, which might not suit everyone. This, plus the small windows, also makes it hard to see out of the car, but the excellent surround-view cameras help here.

Technology

8.0/10

How’s the tech? The AMG GT 53 uses Mercedes' MBUX infotainment system, and it features one of the best in-car navigation systems available today. The map is clear and easy to read, lacking the business that clutters other systems. You can input directions in a variety of ways, from the touchscreen to Mercedes' excellent "Hey, Mercedes" voice command system. Voice commands in general are excellent and can be used to adjust the climate control, change the radio station or even tell you a joke. Both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, though neither one offers wireless connectivity. A wireless charging pad is standard but tucked away behind the cupholders. There are a handful of USB-C ports in both rows.

Mercedes offers the AMG GT 53 with a variety of driver aids, though most have to be added as options, either stand-alone or as part of larger packages. Our car was equipped with adaptive cruise control, blind-spot warning, lane keeping assistance and more. Most of it worked well, though we had persistent problems with the traffic sign recognition slowing the car down unnecessarily.

Storage

7.0/10

How’s the storage? Mercedes may have given the AMG GT 53 a coupe-like profile, but it doesn't suffer from coupe-like storage. The big plus is the GT 53's rear hatch. Its 12.7 cubic feet of cargo space is less than what other coupe-like sedans offer, but the space itself is wide and deep. The biggest issue is the tall rear bumper because it makes putting stuff in the back a bit of a stretch.

As for in-cabin storage, the door pockets and center console are about average-size for the class. We do have an issue with the cupholders. They're too deep for shorter cups and can inadvertently snap the lid off a small cup of coffee. Plus, using them completely blocks the wireless charging pad.

Got kids? The sloping roofline might make installing taller car seats a bit of an issue, as will the wide doorsills. The anchor points are clearly marked, but they're buried within the seat bolstering. The bucket-style seating might also affect how easy it will be to install your kid's safety seat.

Fuel Economy

6.5/10

How’s the fuel economy? The AMG GT 53 has an EPA-estimated fuel economy of 21 mpg combined. It got 22.4 mpg on our 115-mile evaluation loop. That's better than its V8-powered rivals but worse than most of the six-cylinder competition, most of which cost significantly less.

Value

7.0/10

Is the AMG GT a good value? For better or worse, the GT 53 looks and feels like a Mercedes-Benz. The interior is handsome and well appointed, with nice wood trim and soft leather on the seats. Our test vehicle was well equipped with features like forged wheels, performance exhaust and AMG Performance seats as well driver aids like adaptive cruise control. All of that does come at a cost, however. BMW, Audi and Cadillac all offer V8 power and better performance for significantly less money.

Mercedes has a standard four-year/50,000-mile basic, powertrain and corrosion warranty, average for the class. It also includes four years/50,000 miles of roadside assistance, but — unlike some rivals — no free maintenance is included.

Wildcard

8.0/10

The AMG GT 53 handles well and has a strong engine. The problem is that the same can be said of other Mercedes sedans. The E-Class and CLS both offer similar features and performance, making the GT 53 feel less special. While it looks good, it doesn't really do enough to stand out from Mercedes' other models.

That might be fine if it was more entertaining to drive. Don't get us wrong: The GT 53 is quick and sporty. It's just that it doesn't feel as sharp or as nimble as some of its rivals. Other automakers do a better job of making their sport sedans feel smaller and less heavy than they actually are. All of these luxury sedans are big cars — but not all feel like it.

Which AMG GT does Edmunds recommend?

Mercedes-Benz hasn't released full information on the 2024 AMG GT as of this writing. For the sedan, the AMG GT 53 is usually a good way to go. It provides plenty of power, enough to hit 60 mph in just 4.5 seconds when we tested it. The AMG GT 53 is also priced significantly lower than the V8 models, allowing you to splurge more on upgrades.

Mercedes-Benz AMG GT vs. BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe

The 8 Series is one of the AMG GT's closest rivals. It's offered as a large and sporty sedan (Gran Coupe), coupe and convertible. You have a choice of a few potent engines, including the bonkers 617-horsepower V8 found in the M8 model. You won't find a monstrous plug-in hybrid version, but the 8 Series provides sharper handling and superior ride comfort and it carries a lower price.

Mercedes-Benz AMG GT vs. Audi S7

The Audi S7 competes with the AMG GT sedan's entry-level GT 43 and GT 53 models. But if you want V8 power, go for the RS 7, which offers the power of the AMG GT 63. The 63 S and 63 S E Performance pack more grunt but cost more. The stylish Audis aren't just about power; they are also plenty comfortable. Both four-door rivals boast excellent tech and have hatchback-style trunks that maximize cargo space.

Compare Mercedes-Benz AMG GT & Audi S7 features

Mercedes-Benz AMG GT vs. Porsche Taycan

The Taycan is Porsche's all-electric sedan. There are several models to choose from, the top of which provides more than 700 horsepower. Driving range also differs between models, but none surpass an EPA estimate of 300 miles. The Taycan is a sharp-handling EV and is more engaging to drive than the AMG GT sedan. It also delivers a smoother ride. But the AMG GT sedan is typically less expensive and has an easier-to-use infotainment interface.
