2021 Mercedes-AMG GT 43 4-Door Coupe Overview

Two years ago, AMG delivered on its promise of a bespoke sedan platform in the form of the Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door. The headliner was the impressive 630-horsepower AMG GT 63 S alongside its slightly tamer 577-hp variant, both offering an exhilarating driving experience coupled with relative comfort. In the U.S., the only model below the 63 pairing until now was the GT 53, a robust 429-hp vehicle in its own right. However, the “affordable” AMG GT 4-Door Coupe previously still came with a price tag approaching $100,000. Fortunately, there is now a new entry point to the AMG GT range, which is about 10 percent less expensive. Meet the 2021 Mercedes-AMG GT 43 4-Door Coupe.

Starting at a price of $90,950 (including destination fee), the 2021 Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe receives its power from a familiar source for fans of the GT 53: a 3.0-liter inline-six engine rated at 362 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque. Additionally, it is equipped with the EQ Boost 48-volt system that can add up to 21 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque. The vehicle features Mercedes-AMG’s Speedshift TCT nine-speed transmission, with power directed to all four wheels via a 4Matic+ all-wheel drive system that offers variable torque distribution. Consequently, the AMG GT 43 4-Door Coupe can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.8 seconds, although top speed details are still pending.

Despite being the entry-level model of the AMG GT 4-Door range, the 2021 Mercedes-AMG GT 43 4-Door Coupe is far from a stripped-down version. Instead, it boasts features such as the AMG Dynamic Select drive-mode system found in its more powerful counterparts, along with the AMG Ride Control Sport suspension, six-piston front brake calipers, an electronically deployable rear spoiler, and a Burmester surround-sound system—all standard equipment.

Moreover, a significant update for all 2021 Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe models is the introduction of standard Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) infotainment. This includes the latest user interface design, adaptive software, natural speech recognition, and much more.

Look for complete specifications, features, and further details to be released as the car’s retail launch in the U.S. approaches in late 2020.
