A Entire New Look
Mercedes gave the outside a full redesign, borrowing plenty of inspiration from the AMG GT XX concept—particularly the sloping roofline and related grille design. That stated, there are nonetheless just a few apparent variations between the 2.
For starters, the manufacturing model truly has a rear window, which is type of necessary. It additionally swaps out the idea’s rear lightbar for a blacked-out taillight strip, just like what Mercedes has been utilizing on a few of its newer fashions.
Aerodynamics additionally play an enormous function within the AMG GT 4-Door’s design, with two energetic aero parts doing a lot of the work. There’s a speed-activated rear spoiler that improves airflow at greater speeds, together with a rear diffuser that extends a few inches out from the bumper. Collectively, they assist the AMG GT 4-Door obtain an impressively low drag coefficient of simply 0.22 cD.
Mercedes gave us a preview of the AMG GT 4-Door’s inside a few months in the past, however there’s nonetheless loads value speaking about. The massive spotlight is a brand-new infotainment setup that, not less than for now, is unique to the GT 4-Door.
It options an angled driver show with air vents tucked behind it, flowing right into a passenger display screen just like what we’ve seen in different trendy Mercedes fashions. Bodily buttons are stored to a minimal, although the drive mode dials on the middle console are a pleasant contact and really feel genuinely stable to make use of.
Even with the screen-heavy structure, the remainder of the cabin feels impressively upscale. We acquired the prospect to take a seat in a pre-production mannequin in Germany, and the combo of leather-based, carbon fiber, and metallic all through the inside all felt severely top quality. That stated, the GT 4-Door nonetheless makes use of the identical considerably cheap-feeling plastic air vents discovered within the S-Class.
The roof is one other standout function and a primary for Mercedes. The Sky Management panoramic glass roof has embedded LEDs that show the AMG emblem, including a fairly wild impact at night time. If that’s not your factor, the glass can even swap between clear and frosted with the contact of a button.

The rear seats within the GT 4-Door aren’t precisely roomy, however taller passengers will nonetheless be extra snug again there than they’d be in most different four-door coupes. Rear passengers get USB-C ports and their very own HVAC controls, although there’s no fold-down middle armrest with cupholders. As an alternative, dropping down the center part simply opens up a pass-through to the trunk with none further cupboard space.
And for the reason that AMG GT 4-Door is absolutely electrical, it will get a frunk—lastly. It’s not huge at simply 2.1 cubic ft, however it’s large enough for charging cables or a small bag, which is truthfully all most individuals will want.
One cool element is that, not like conventional AMG gas-powered fashions which have a plaque on the engine, the GT 4-Door has its plaque contained in the frunk. It features a QR code that hyperlinks to movies from the engineers, designers, and builders behind the automotive, every sharing little info and tales about its improvement. It’s a bit gimmicky, certain, however nonetheless a fairly enjoyable contact.

A Larger, Higher Battery
The AMG GT 4-Door makes use of an all-new battery system developed by Mercedes, that includes newly designed battery cells with direct cooling for every particular person cell. The cells are smaller and slimmer than earlier than, which permits for a denser battery pack that improves each energy output and driving vary. The 106.0-kilowatt-hour battery powers three axial flux motors—two mounted on the rear and one up entrance—giving the automotive a rear-biased all-wheel-drive setup.
As for vary, Mercedes says the GT 4-Door can journey as much as 435 miles (700 kilometers) on the WLTP cycle. It additionally helps ultra-fast 600-kilowatt charging, which may add greater than 286 miles (460 kilometers) of vary in simply 10 minutes. That’s the identical charging and battery tech that helped the AMG GT XX idea full its record-setting endurance run of greater than 3,404 miles in 24 hours.
At launch, the AMG GT 4-Door will are available in GT55 and GT63 trims. The GT55 produces as much as 805 horsepower and an enormous 1,328 pound-feet of torque, sending energy to all 4 wheels. With that setup, Mercedes says it might probably hit 60 mph in simply 2.4 seconds.
The extra highly effective GT63 mannequin takes issues even additional, placing out as much as 1,153 hp and 1,475 lb-ft of torque. That’s sufficient to launch the automotive from 0 to 60 mph in simply 2.0 seconds. Prime velocity for each variations is electronically restricted to 186 mph.
Mercedes can also be giving the GT 4-Door an AMG Drive Unit with a number of drive modes, together with Sport+. In that mode, the automotive pumps a V8-inspired soundtrack by the audio system that mimics all the things from a deep idle rumble to a full-on roar below exhausting acceleration. It’s surprisingly convincing, even when it’s nonetheless synthetic.
Will it win over each die-hard V8 fan? Most likely not. However for anybody struggling to let go of massive engine noises within the EV period, it’s not less than a enjoyable compromise.
Pricing
Mercedes hasn’t introduced official pricing for the next-gen AMG GT 4-Door but, however the GT53 is predicted to begin someplace within the low six-figure vary. Costs will probably bounce noticeably in comparison with the outgoing mannequin, largely due to the brand new electrical powertrain. Mercedes expects the automobiles to reach at dealerships by late 2026.
Motor1’s Take: Regardless of the excessive energy figures, we’re a bit skeptical of the AMG GT 4-Door shedding its engine. A Mercedes V8 solves most issues, so we’re to see what an engineless AMG GT 4-Door will probably be like. Hopefully, this received’t be too exhausting a promote to conventional Mercedes-AMG consumers.
