Mercedes renews the infotainment system and assisted driving of the AMG GT 4 Door, in addition to introducing new customisation options.
In short
- Technological update of the Mercedes-AMG GT 4 Door.
- New version of MBUX with improved graphics and augmented reality navigation.
- Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and improved voice assistant.
- The mechanical range remains, with six and eight-cylinder options and PHEV.
Previous generation
Six and eight-cylinder variants, including the plug-in hybrid 63 S E Performance. Its main weakness was a slightly lagging digital and assistance experience compared to more recent rivals.
What changes from the previous model
- MBUX updated: New interface, sharper graphics, faster response and augmented reality navigation.
- Wireless connectivity: Android Auto and Apple CarPlay no longer need a cable on the 11.9-inch central screen.
- Improved assistance: More precise lane keeping, lane change assistance and urban emergency braking.
- New options: Expanded colour palette, exclusive wheels and interior finishes in wood or carbon fibre.
MBUX evolves
Mercedes-AMG has updated the GT 4 Door with a technology package that notably improves the on-board experience. The MBUX infotainment system evolves to a newer version, with improved graphics, faster response and more complete integration with cloud services.
The 11.9-inch central touchscreen now includes navigation with augmented reality, wireless connection for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and a new voice assistant that reconstructs more complex commands.
Safety and customisation
In terms of safety, the AMG GT 4 Door expands its assisted driving equipment with an improved lane keeping system, lane change assistance and a more precise emergency braking function in urban environments.
The mechanical range remains with six and eight-cylinder options, including the plug-in hybrid 63 S E Performance versions. Customisation grows with new body colours, exclusive design wheels and interior finishes in wood or carbon fibre.
New technology
The latest version of MBUX introduces a cloud layer that allows more frequent updates and a voice assistant with understanding of more complex commands.
Augmented reality in navigation overlays arrows and street names onto the front camera image, reducing errors at intersections.
The assisted driving systems benefit from revised sensors and software, especially in high-density urban environments.
Market context
Instead of a new generation, Mercedes prefers a deep update to keep the GT 4 Door current against the Porsche Panamera and Audi RS7. The strategy is rational: the product is still mechanically competitive, but it needed a digital experience to match.
Pricing and availability
The 63 S E Performance range starts from a significantly higher price.
Pros / Cons
- Updated digital experience without changing a platform that already works.
- Wide mechanical range, including high-performance PHEV.
- More customisation in colours and finishes.
- It is not a new generation: the interior design is still not renewed.
- The access price remains high compared to more recent rivals.
- Some driving assistance will still depend on subscriptions.
Milestones
- 2019GT 4 Door launchedMercedes introduces the AMG GT four-door as a rival to the Panamera and RS7.
- 202363 S E PerformanceThe plug-in hybrid variant reaches 843 hp.
- 2026Technology updateThe GT 4 Door renews MBUX, connectivity and assistance systems.
Key fact
The updated GT 4 Door retains the same mechanical range, but its new MBUX processor enables up to five times faster response in navigation and voice commands.
A grand tourer must not only be fast; it must also feel up to date in the digital age.
