The 2025 Mercedes-AMG GT coupe features a sleek design, tech-rich interior and a generous cargo area for a two-door. Most models come with a turbocharged V8 and all-wheel drive, which grant the AMG GT coupe commendable performance chops. However, it doesn't offer the same level of agility and responsiveness as some of its sports car competitors.Read full review

Overview
Mercedes-AMG GT is the name of the brand's two-door sports car as well as a coupe-style four-door inspired by that sports car. The AMG GT coupe was fully redesigned for 2024, while the AMG GT sedan has been on sale since 2019. Both cars feature sleek styling and offer potent drivetrain options, ranging from a surprisingly powerful turbocharged four-cylinder in the base coupe to a turbocharged V8 hybrid system good for more than 800 hp in the top AMG GT 63 S E Performance trim.
Cost to DriveCost to drive estimates for the 2025 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 N/A undefined in Ohio.
For 2025, the AMG GT coupe range is fleshed out with a new AMG GT 43 base model and range-topping AMG GT 63 S E Performance. The rear-wheel-drive-only AMG GT 43 comes with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder. This might seem disappointing for a luxury coupe of the AMG GT's stature but you won't be disappointed by its rather outlandish output of 416 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque. For those who need more power, the new AMG GT 63 S E Performance coupe will surely satisfy. It has a turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 as part of a plug-in hybrid system. It makes 805 hp and 1,047 lb-ft of torque. Additionally, there's a new track-focused special-edition coupe called the AMG GT 63 Pro 4Matic+. This model features unique aero bits, 21-inch wheels wrapped in sticky summer tires, and carbon-ceramic brakes.
Competitors to consider
If you're shopping for a premium sports car, the Porsche 911 and Chevrolet Corvette should also be on your radar. The AMG GT coupe leans more toward the luxury end of the spectrum, whereas its rivals offer a more engaging driving experience. If the sedan version is more your speed, you should also cross-shop the BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe, Audi S7 and RS 7, and Porsche Panamera. Keep reading for our Expert Rating to find out how the AMG GT stacks up against the competition.

edmunds TESTED
The 2025 Mercedes-AMG GT coupe features a sleek design, tech-rich interior and a generous cargo area for a two-door. Most models come with a turbocharged V8 and all-wheel drive, which grant the AMG GT coupe commendable performance chops. However, it doesn't offer the same level of agility and responsiveness as some of its sports car competitors.
How does the AMG GT drive? We tested an AMG GT 63 coupe. At the Edmunds test track, it sprinted from 0 60 mph in a brisk 3.1 seconds. That's up there with the quickest cars in this class. That acceleration is backed up by strong, confident brakes. Capable of smooth stops on the street, they hauled the AMG GT 63 coupe to a stop from 60 mph in just 102 feet.
The all-wheel-drive system means there's never a shortage of traction, and the AMG GT coupe always feels planted and stable on the street. Even though it pulled an impressive 1.08 g on our skidpad, we do wish it felt a bit sharper and more nimble. The steering is weighted well, but it lacks the tactile feel you get in something like a Porsche 911. The rear-axle steering helps in a corner, but it feels less natural than other rear steering systems. At 4,296 pounds on our scales, the AMG GT feels a bit heavy, though it's certainly still plenty capable.
Comfort
8.5/10
How comfortable is the AMG GT? The AMG GT coupe is very much a sports car, but it doesn't punish when it comes to seat comfort or ride quality. The front buckets are well shaped and offer tons of adjustment, though some might find the padding a bit thin. The seats are available with heating, ventilating and massaging functions and proved comfortable after hours behind the wheel. Ride comfort is on the firm side, though it's never harsh. You always feel the road, but it's well damped and cushioned.
The climate control system works well, keeping the coupe nice and cool on warm summer days. Our biggest complaint is the touchscreen control. We prefer physical buttons and knobs for climate and media controls. The fans blow well without sounding overly loud. The AMG GT coupe as a whole is generally quiet, though the rumble of the AMG V8 is always in the background.
Interior
8/10
How’s the interior? The AMG GT's interior is spacious, at least in the front row. The low height and long doors make getting in and out a little bit of a squeeze, but that's typical for the class. For the first time, the AMG GT coupe is available with a rear seat. While they're a no-cost option, the rear seats are tiny. Unless you have small children, the standard parcel shelf might be more useful.
The driving position is solid, though the long hood and high beltline do cut into visibility. There's plenty of space for taller drivers in the front, with decent headroom and legroom. The surround-view cameras make parking or maneuvering tight lots relatively easy.
The AMG GT uses the latest version of the brand's MBUX system. Everything is tied to the touchscreen, and it's not the most intuitive system, so plan on studying the manual. The system itself is pretty good but it can be slow to load when you start the car.

How’s the tech? The AMG GT coupe's navigation system is impressive. The large screen allows for a big, easy-to-read map. Turn-by-turn directions are easy to input and straightforward to use, and you can display the map in the center screen or in the instrument panel. Voice commands can be used to do things like input addresses or search for gas stations. If you prefer to use your smartphone, the AMG GT includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. There are four USB-C ports and a wireless charging pad, which is more than the average coupe offers. The standard Burmester audio system sets a benchmark for the class.
The AMG GT is available with a wide array of driver aids, from adaptive cruise control to an augmented reality display for the navigation system. The aids mostly worked well in our testing. The adaptive cruise control maintained a consistent gap between it and the car in front, and it adjusted speed smoothly.
Storage
8/10
How’s the storage? The AMG GT coupe's sleek roofline is hiding a wide-opening hatch that opens into a generous cargo area, for a two-door car. The hatch is tall, wide and much larger than the frunk you'll find on a Porsche 911. A Chevrolet Corvette Z06 has more cargo space on paper, but it's split between the front and rear. The Vette's shape isn't as usable as the AMG GT's either; it offers a deep and wide trunk. On versions with the optional back seat, the seat itself can fold down to offer more storage space. You can easily fit a weekend or more's worth of luggage in the rear without a squeeze, and the parcel shelf is available for overflow. Storage up front isn't quite as good, but there are decent places for sunglasses, smartphones or office keycards.
Installing a car seat is possible in theory given the anchors in the rear, but it's a tight fit for anything but the smallest of child seats. The front seats fold forward fairly well, but the AMG GT's low roofline and tight rear dimensions limit what will fit.
How’s the fuel economy? Our test car was an AMG GT 63 coupe. It gets an EPA-estimated 16 mpg combined. We saw a reasonable 18.7 mpg on on our evaluation route, which is in the middle of the pack for luxury sport coupes. There are more efficient options, but there are others that are thirstier too.
Value
7.5/10
Is the AMG GT a good value? The AMG GT coupe is one of the most premium vehicles you'll find in this price point, with a look and feel that justify the car's price tag. The interior is handsome and well appointed, with nice materials used throughout for the upholstery and trim. There's not a spot inside where it looks like Mercedes cut corners, and the overall feel is more luxurious than rivals like the Porsche 911 or BMW M8. Prices are on the higher end for this class, but you'll have to spend more to get a 911 that touches the AMG GT's performance.
Mercedes includes a four-year/50,000-mile basic, powertrain and rust warranty as well as four years/50,000 miles of roadside assistance. These are average figures for this class.
Wildcard
9/10
The AMG GT coupe certainly looks the part of a sports car, with a long, low and sleek design that gives it a purposeful overall feel. One glance and you know it means business. It's a big car, with a long hood and wheelbase, but the design is clean and straightforward, with no fluff or business to it all. The interior is handsome and gives the aura of something a cut above the rest.
While we don't think it's the sharpest sports car on the road, the AMG GT coupe is plenty of fun on a good winding road. The car feels quick and capable but doesn't punish, making it great for a daily driver or weekend cruiser. The engine is a real standout even in a class of cars with an already high average.
Which AMG GT does Edmunds recommend?
The output from the new base turbo-four is impressive, but you'll miss out on that glorious eight-cylinder soundtrack going that route. Though it costs a lot more than the entry-level AMG GT 43, the AMGGT 55 is the cheapest way to get the V8 and is our pick in the coupe lineup.
