Mercedes-AMG has revealed the new GT 53 4-door Coupe internationally, positioned as the new entry-spec model for the flagship performance nameplate. It sits below the GT 55 and GT 63 variants, which were revealed in May 2026. The new GT 53 variant gets a 106kWh battery with a claimed range of 793km, and a 544hp dual-motor AWD setup with a claimed 0-100kph time of 3.5 seconds.
- Puts out 272hp and 625hp less than the GT 55 and GT 63, respectively
- Offers 103km more range than the GT 55, 107km more range than the GT 63
- Produces synthesised engine sounds resembling that of a 3.0-litre straight-six mill
Mercedes-AMG GT 53 4-door Coupe: All you need to know
Unlike the higher variants, the GT 53 gets a dual-motor setup but the highest range
The Mercedes-AMG GT 53 features the same 106kWh battery pack, but packs in a dual-motor all-wheel-drive (AWD) that produces 544hp and 800Nm. Compared to this, the tri-motor setup on the higher-spec GT 55 and GT 63 produces an additional 272hp, 1000Nm and 625hp, 1200Nm, respectively. Although the new GT 53 variant is claimed to do a 0-100kph run in 3.5 seconds, it is 0.8 seconds slower than the GT 55 and 1.1 seconds slower than the top-of-the-line GT 63.
However, the lack of an electric motor on the GT 53 enables the highest claimed range in the portfolio – 793km, which is 103km more than the GT 55 and 107km more than the GT 63. The new Mercedes-AMG GT 53 4-door Coupe, with its 800-volt architecture, supports up to 600kW DC fast charging, which can recharge the battery pack for a range of 534km in 10 minutes.
The AMG GT 53 retains the simulated gearshifts from the higher-spec variants. But it produces synthesised engine sounds resembling the manufacturer’s 3.0-litre turbocharged inline-six mills, unlike the artificial V8 sounds on the GT 55 and GT 63.
Everything else, including the air suspension with adaptive damping and the 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive system, is identical to all variants of the GT. The GT 53 also gets Torque Vectoring, which ensures an individual distribution of drive force between the rear wheels for optimal driving pleasure.
