Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupé: generations, engines and what to know
Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupé (from 2018) — a four-door sports car with a liftback design. We look at its generations from the GT 43 to the GT 63 S, engines, hybrid variant and what buyers need to know.
Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupé in brief
This is a five-seater, four-door sports car with a liftback, created alongside the AMG GT coupé family. Its design is similar to the two-seater AMG GT, but it's more practical, offering space for four adults and luggage.
The model offers a wide range of power options — from the 6-cylinder GT 43 to the powerful V8 versions. In the used market, it's sought after as an alternative to a saloon or estate when sporty driving is desired.
Generations — what's the difference?
The GT 43 has a 3.0-litre 6-cylinder engine, the GT 53 a more powerful engine of the same type with EQ Boost, while the GT 63 and GT 63 S have a 4.0-litre V8 with twin turbos. All versions come with 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive.
Later came the plug-in hybrid GT 63 S E Performance, whose combined power exceeds 800 AG. This version is more complex and expensive to maintain, but offers exceptional dynamics.
Engines and gearbox
The GT 43 has around 367 AG, the GT 53 around 435 AG, the GT 63 around 585 AG, and the GT 63 S around 639 AG. The gearbox is a 9-speed AMG Speedshift automatic.
All versions feature a sporty exhaust note and several driving modes. Most cars have adaptive air suspension (AMG Ride Control+), allowing a blend of comfort and sportiness.
What to check when buying
Check the operation of the air suspension — the car should not sag when stationary, and there should be no clunking or rattling noises when driving. Brake condition is also crucial, especially if there are ceramic discs.
The service history should be comprehensive. Carefully assess the wheels and tyres (large alloys are easily damaged), bodywork paint, and electronic equipment plus infotainment.
