Mercedes-Benz AMG GT 63 2025 Review

In Malaysia's supercar market, the 2-million range price point has always been the core battleground balancing performance and luxury. Consumers pursue strong power while also valuing the practicality of everyday use. The 2025 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT 63 4Matic+ Coupe, as a new competitor in this segment, has drawn the attention of many performance enthusiasts with its 4.0T V8 twin-turbo engine, all-wheel-drive system, and AMG-specific tuning. The main purpose of this test drive is to verify its ability to balance track performance and daily commuting, and to see whether this "Three-Pointed Star" performance coupe can truly combine passion with practicality.

The exterior design continues the classic long-hood, short-rear proportions of the AMG GT family, with smooth and aggressive overall lines. The front features a large trapezoidal grille, equipped with vertical slats inside, while the AMG badge on the grille's edge and honeycomb intake ports on both sides further emphasize its performance identity. The side profile's waistline flows from the hood to the rear. The 21-inch multi-spoke alloy wheels, paired with 295/30 R21 tires at the front and 305/30 R21 tires at the rear, create an exceptionally striking visual impact. The rear LED taillights adopt a through-type design, offering high recognizability when lit, while the quad round exhaust layout at the bottom directly declares its performance positioning.

Inside the car, the cabin primarily features a black color scheme, with extensive use of Alcantara material and carbon fiber panels to create a strong sporty atmosphere. The center console is equipped with an 11.9-inch touchscreen running the latest MBUX system, offering smooth operations and supporting voice control. The AMG-specific designed steering wheel includes multifunction buttons and paddle shifters, and its angle can be adjusted manually, though manual adjustment feels a bit lacking at this price point. The front seats are AMG Performance electrically adjustable seats with memory function, providing excellent support during aggressive driving while ensuring comfort during daily rides. The HUD head-up display system comes standard, showing information like speed and navigation to enhance driving convenience.

The vehicle dimensions are 4728mm × 2100mm × 1354mm, with a wheelbase of 2700mm. As a two-door, two-seat sports car, the front-row space is entirely adequate; a 180cm tall passenger can sit comfortably with sufficient headroom and legroom. The trunk capacity is 351L, which, although not large, is enough to fit two carry-on suitcases or a golf bag, meeting the needs for short trips. Interior storage spaces like the central armrest box and door storage compartments are well-designed for practicality in details.

In terms of power, it is equipped with a 4.0T V8 twin-turbocharged engine delivering a maximum horsepower of 585PS and a peak torque of 800N·m, paired with a 9AT transmission and 4Matic+ all-wheel-drive system. The official 0-100km/h acceleration takes only 3.2 seconds, with a top speed of 315km/h. During actual driving, switching to the Sport+ mode makes the throttle response extremely sharp. The moment the car starts, you can feel a strong push-back sensation. During mid-range acceleration and overtaking, the gearbox shifts quickly and smoothly, with a continuous power output. Even in Comfort mode, the power performance remains lively enough, and daily commuting does not feel cumbersome at all.

The handling performance is a highlight of this car. The front and rear double-wishbone independent suspension has been exclusively tuned by AMG, offering excellent support. During cornering, the body roll is minimal, the steering wheel is precise, with almost no slack, and it provides clear feedback on road conditions. When encountering bumpy roads, the suspension filters out most of the fine vibrations, maintaining interior comfort without being overly stiff like traditional sports cars. The braking system uses ceramic ventilated discs, providing ample and linear braking force, ensuring body stability during emergency stops and instilling confidence in the driver.

In terms of fuel consumption, the official combined fuel consumption is 14L/100km. In actual driving, urban conditions show a fuel consumption of about 16-18L/100km, while highway conditions can lower it to about 12L. This meets expectations for a 4.0T V8 engine. The noise control is well-executed; the cabin is very quiet at low speeds. On the highway, tire and wind noise become slightly more noticeable but remain within acceptable limits. The seats provide good support and cushioning, ensuring comfort even during long drives without causing fatigue.

In terms of safety features, it comes standard with 8 airbags, lane-keeping assist, lane departure warning, active braking, and also features ACC adaptive cruise control and a 360-degree panoramic camera, providing sufficient safety assurance for daily driving.

Overall, the core strengths of the 2025 AMG GT 63 4Matic+ Coupe lie in its powerful performance, precise handling, and practicality for daily use. Compared to competitors in the same price range, such as the Porsche 911 Carrera S, it has a stronger performance in terms of engine power and offers more rich configurations, making it more cost-effective. This car is suitable for consumers who desire both track excitement and daily commuting, such as performance enthusiasts between 30 and 45 years old, or luxury sports car users who want something that delivers driving pleasure while accommodating short trips.

In summary, the 2025 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT 63 4Matic+ Coupe is a luxury sports car that balances performance and practicality. It not only offers an ultimate driving experience on the track but also doesn't feel cumbersome in daily use. If you are looking for a high-performance car that is capable of both "hitting the track and buying groceries," this car is worth considering.
