Overview

Cars like the 2019 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT 53 might not be able to give you the direct benefits one might expect from its hybrid powertrain. However, its usefulness must not be overlooked. The Mercedes-Benz AMG GT 53 uses its 3.0L turbocharged Inline-6 engine and 48 volt hybrid system to produce 429 horsepower and 384 lb-ft of torque. This gives the Mercedes-Benz AMG GT 53 a 0-60 of 4.4 seconds. The hybrid engine here is to support the gasoline engine to boost performance and offer slightly better fuel economy than what a single gasoline engine would be capable of. That said, the 2019 AMG GT 53 achieves a combined fuel economy of 24 MPG. As part of the midsize sedan, the Mercedes-Benz AMG GT 53 competes with the Porsche Panamera 4S, the BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe, and the Audi S7. It offers a single trim with an MSRP of $99,000.

Buying Advice

The AMG GT 53 Sedan packs in a sports car performance, everyday practicality, and round-the-year drivability in one sedan, thanks to its 429-horsepower mild-hybrid powertrain and standard all-wheel drive. Plus, you can equip it with the Parking Assistance Package and the Driver Assistance Package to add more driving aids. The Warmth and Comfort package is a must if you live in a colder climate, whereas the Executive Rear Seat package will make the drive more convenient for the rear seat passengers.
