The 2025 Mercedes-AMG GT sedan looks like it's ready for a hot lap around the Nürburgring and has a sporty driving character to back that up. It also has an attractive interior with luxurious tech features and usable trunk space. Though it does its job well, there are others that do it better, including a few other high-performance four-doors in Mercedes' lineup.Read full review
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 Drive
Monthly estimates based on costs in South Carolina
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 Expert Rating

Driven, tested, rated by automotive expert Reese Counts
Average
7.6
out of 10
We drove the 2025 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.
Performance
8/10
How does the AMG GT drive? We tested the AMG 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 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 AMG's engine stop-start system is unobtrusive too.
Unfortunately, the rest of the AMG GT 53 can't match the engine's strong performance. Every car in this class is big and heavy, but the AMG 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
8/10
How comfortable is the AMG GT? The AMG GT's suspension is tuned firmer than we'd prefer in 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 AMG GT's infotainment system has a steep learning curve, 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.
How’s the tech? The AMG GT sedan 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 busyness 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 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
7/10
How’s the storage? Mercedes may have given the AMG GT a coupe-like profile, but it doesn't suffer from coupe-like storage. The big plus is the GT'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.
How’s the fuel economy? The AMG GT 53, which is what we tested, has an EPA-estimated fuel economy of 21 mpg combined. It got 22.4 mpg on our mixed-driving evaluation route. That's better than its V8-powered rivals but worse than most of the six-cylinder competition, most of which cost significantly less.
Value
7.5/10
Is the AMG GT a good value? For better or worse, the AMG GT 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 offered.
Wildcard
8/10
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 AMG 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 AMG 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?
The AMG GT 53 sedan, with its upgraded turbocharged six-cylinder engine, is plenty quick and significantly cheaper than its V8-equipped siblings. It also comes with an impressive complement of luxury and tech features, including an adaptive air-ride suspension, MBUX infotainment system with a 12.3-inch touchscreen, and more.
The overall customer sentiment for the 2025 Mercedes-Benz AMG-GT is mixed. Owners love how fast and fun it is to drive, and many say it looks amazing. However, some find the ride too firm, the seats uncomfortable, and there are issues with technology and reliability. A few owners also mentioned problems with visibility and high maintenance costs.
