Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door 2024

If you’re in the market for a Porsche Panamera-esque performance saloon or love the AMG-GT two-door coupe but need more practicality, this is the car for you. It’s a German uber-saloon that is utterly fast yet still comfortable and usable every day. 

There’s only the 63 AMG at the moment and the one to go for is the S. After all it’s 0.2 seconds quicker to 62mph which we all need.

The obvious rival here is the Porsche Panamera. There are more versions of the Panamera available, including a diesel, but it’s the Turbo versions which rival the Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door. You can also look at the Maserati Quattroporte for a bit of Italian flair. There’s also the Audi RS7 Sportback and the BMW M8 Gran Coupe. Basically, a lot of German stuff.

Mercedes-Benz has taken the title of ‘best interiors in the business’ from Audi in recent years, and its Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door combines a centre console similar to that found in the two-door AMG-GT with the classy features of bigger and newer models like the Mercedes-Benz E-Class. 

There’s a premium Burmester surround sound system as standard, as well as a 12.3-inch colour display incorporating DAB radio and 3D navigation as well as Apple CarPlay.

The boot capacity of up to 395 litres is supplemented by around a further 60 litres beneath the boot floor. With the backrests folded down the capacity rises to 1324 litres. The wide load compartment opening makes it easier to load and unload luggage and other items.

In terms of exterior dimensions, it's 5054mm long, 2069mm wide and 1447mm tall. 

The AMG 4.0-litre V8 biturbo engine is already used in numerous AMG models. Its output has been enhanced for the new Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door 4MATIC+. It delivers 639PS and maximum torque of 900Nm, which is available over a wide engine speed range from 2500 to 4500 rpm.

Acceleration from 0-62mph takes a mere 3.2 seconds. In the ‘standard’ Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door 4MATIC+ the V8 unit provides 585PS and 800Nm maximum torque. The sprint from standstill to 62mph lasts just 3.4 seconds.

Noise levels in the Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door depend on what mood you’re in. It will happily potter around town if you want it to, feeling as easy to drive as a diesel Mercedes-Benz E-Class. But get it out on a quick road - and put it in sport mode - and it comes alive with a beautiful engine and exhaust sound that will have you prodding the throttle whenever you get the chance. 

While the Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door hasn’t been crash tested by Euro NCAP, we’d expect nothing less than the maximum five star crash safety rating, in line with the majority of cars Mercedes builds.

Mercedes generally performs well for reliability, placing 13th out of 30 manufacturers in the latest HonestJohn.co.uk Satisfaction Index. The GT 4-Door should be fairly reliable and it's covered by Mercedes' unlimited mileage warranty for the first three years. 

A high performance AMG with a huge list price? That can only mean one thing – group 50 insurance. 

Despite all its performance, all models only cost £150 a year for VED. Just be aware that all models have a list price of more than £40,000 so will incur the extra £325 a year showroom tax (on top of the £150) for five years from the second time it’s taxed. 

Standard equipment on the Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door includes 20-inch AMG 5-double-spoke light- alloy wheels, Multibeam LED Intelligent headlights; parking package and 360 camera, 12.3-inch infotainment and cockpit display, creating a widescreen effect, ambient lighting with a choice of 64 colours, heated front and rear seats, Command Online infotainment system, AMG Track Pace, wireless charging, Keyless-Go Comfort package, including keyless start and hands-free access, and fully automatic opening and closing of boot lid; Burmester surround sound system and AMG Performance steering wheel in Nappa leather.

The Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door 63 S adds the AMG Dynamic Plus package, which includes electronic rear-axle differential lock, ‘RACE’ drive mode including ‘Drift-Mode’, larger front brake discs and yellow painted AMG brake calipers; 20-inch AMG multi-spoke alloy wheels, an AMG Performance steering wheel, upholstered in Dinamica microfibre, comes as standard.

The limited edition Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door GT 63 S Edition 1 comes as standard with Graphite Grey magno paint; 21-inch cross-spoke forged wheels with black inserts; an Aerodynamics package, including a fixed rear aerofoil in high-gloss black and optimised front apron with a front splitter; Premium Plus package, AMG Carbon Matte trim, AMG Nappa leather Magma grey seats with yellow contrast stitching, black Dinamica headlining, Memory package, Air Balance and AMG Night package.
