About the 2019 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT

The 2019 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT is a sports that earns a Carivo score of 7.1/10 — rated Good. Its strongest dimension is Safety at 8.5/10, while Reliability at 7.1/10 is where it trails the competition most noticeably. It's a capable but unexceptional sports — stronger alternatives exist if you're willing to shop the segment carefully.

Reliability and safety are the two dimensions that matter most for long-term ownership costs. The reliability picture is solid rather than spectacular: 7.1/10, which puts it comfortably above the class median. On safety, it scores 8.5/10 in our assessment. Always confirm the official crash-test results for your exact trim at nhtsa.gov/ratings.

With 7.8/10 for performance, this is a car tuned for daily driving rather than excitement — perfectly capable on the commute, unremarkable on a back road. At 7.6/10 for technology, the infotainment and driver-assist package does its job without setting benchmarks — check which features cost extra on lower trims.

Priced from $138,465–$169,542, 13 MPG, seating 2, the Mercedes-Benz AMG GT sits in the luxury tier of the sports market. At 7.5/10 for value, it delivers fair pricing for what's on offer, though the best alternatives in this price range score slightly higher. At 7 years old, resale value, parts availability, and whether a successor model has improved on its weak points are all worth investigating before committing.

Verdict: The 2019 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT sits in the middle of the field. Worth a look if it fits a specific need; otherwise use our compare tool against the segment leaders first.
