Overview

Mercedes never fails to knock us off our feet. Just as when the thought of the failure of CLS63 was sinking in, Mercedes came up with Mercedes-AMG GT 63 4 door coupe.

Mercedes brought the CLS63 in the arena to tackle the growing fan-base of the Porsche Panamera, but it did not turn out to be effective.

Buying Advice

Mercedes-AMG GT 63 4 door coupe is already an expensive set of wheels, with prices starting from $175,000 for the base model. Moreover, it packs more than enough power under the hood to knock you off your feet. So in case, you are eyeing the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 4 door coupe S for the additional punch, we would suggest you go with the base model only until and unless you do not have an extra-ordinary knack for power. However, the S variant also gets a slightly different interior scheme and AMG Performance bucket seats.

Comparative Analysis against Competition

And now, as a reinforcement plan, the three-pointed star has come up with the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 4 door coupe. The Mercedes-AMG GT63 4 door, rests upon the MRA platform that is also utilized by its family siblings such as the C-Class, E-Class, CLS and many more. Dynamic, explosive, ultra-luxurious, these are the terms that best define the GT63 4 door coupe.

Features

The Porsche Panamera offers the best-in-class fuel efficiency, followed up by the Audi RS7 Sedan and finally the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 4 door. The Porsche and the Audi, being lighter in weight than the Merc, add more miles per gallon to their figures.

Interior
9.9/10

Aside from the sheer quality of the materials, the GT 4-door’s cabin is dominated by the widescreen cockpit, the IMAX of cars, which combines two hi-res 12.3in screens whose bonded glass has a smartphone lustre.- Topgear

Seating and Comfort

The cabin of the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 4 door portrays just another level of luxury. The ride comes fitted with the active multi-contour seating arrangement. The S variant gets the AMG Performance Bucket Seats and provides great support while cornering and under-acceleration.

All the cars that we have in question here seat 4 people and are comfortable as hell. Although, the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 4 door offers the greatest space and the most comfortable seating arrangement. The Audi RS7 Sedan follows up to be the runner-up and the Panamera lags in this aspect. 

Infotainment

The Mercedes-AMG GT 63 4 door utilizes a hybrid edition of the refreshed MBUX interface. Although it is based on previous year's software and lacks the voice assist technology. The main focus of the information panel is a touchpad on the center console. This panel primarily functions as a gear selector and is great at feedbacks. The steering wheel of the GT 63 4 door can also be considered a part of the infotainment arrangement, as it spreads out all the dynamic controls one needs while driving, within the reach of their fingertips. The infotainment system also offers: 

  • AMG Dynamic Plus Package
  • Pushable screens
  • 12.3-inch instrument cluster screen 
  • A 12.3-inch infotainment touch panel 
  • Steering Wheel Shifters
  • Adaptive Dampers

Dimensions and Weight

The Mercedes-AMG GT 63 4 door is a four-door variant of the Mercedes-AMG GT. It offers great space and family vehicle's comfort along with the power of a sports tourer. It feels great to drive on tarmac and is agile on corners. The ride is long, heavy and looks uberly luxurious. The GT63 is a handsome boy, with a swift aerodynamic body. What completes the look for the ride is a 20-fin Air Panel grille which makes the front end of the ride look supremely appealing. Now, taking a slide on that dipping roofline, the rear end is complemented by a multi-stage spoiler, which along with giving the GT63 a sleek look, also contributes towards increasing the ride's stability under tight braking scenarios. 

The car is great on weight though, but that does not affect its on-road performance.

Porsche Panamera:

The Porsche Panamera is a stunning pair of wheels. The Panamera was resculpted recently, and what came out was a bigger Panamera, with a restructured interior layout, boasting Porsche’s hottest engines and gearboxes. However, when put in front of the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 4 door, the Panamera comes out to be underperforming in terms of performance, power, and output.

Keeping the performance aside, Panamera also loses to the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 4 door in terms of dimensions as the latter is bigger, wider, and taller than the Porsche. 

Audi RS7 Sedan:

RS7 is a very desirable offering from the Lord of the Rings (Audi), with a sleek, flowing design, the RS7 can kill by looks. With Quattro AWD the car is as engaging to drive as it can get. Befitted with a 4.0L Biturbocharged V8, the RS7 produces an undisputed 560 hp along with 553 lb-ft. Of torque. However, now the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 4 door is here to make a claim, with an astonishing power output of 570 horsepower, the three-pointed star’s fabrication gives the RS7 a run for its money. Speaking of the dimensions, the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 4 door lends the RS7 a knockout punch with its massive interior spacing and mesmerizing body design. And finally, with an ultra-luxurious cockpit and cutting-edge technology on-board, the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 4 door emerges as the ultimate king of the ring for this segment.
