Pros & Cons

What We Love

  • 630bhp V8 with magnificent soundtrack

Watch Out For

  • Softer dynamics than BMW M5
  • Subscription features are frustrating

How to Buy This Car

Our recommendation on the best way to finance your purchase.

RecommendedFinance (PCP)

PCP is the recommended route. Mercedes' GFV is competitive and you avoid the steepest depreciation period.

Advantages

  • Avoid steepest depreciation
  • Competitive GFV
  • Spread the cost

Watch Out For

  • Interest adds to total cost
  • Mileage restrictions

This is our independent opinion based on the car's depreciation profile, reliability record, and typical finance rates. Always get personalised financial advice before committing.

Used Buying Guide

Buying a Used Mercedes AMG GT 63

What to look for — and what to avoid — when buying this car on the used market.

What to look for

  • C192 generation (2023–) is a significant step forward — worth the premium over the C190
  • AMG Performance seats are the specification to seek — they transform the driving experience
  • Night Package adds visual drama without affecting running costs
  • Single-owner, full Mercedes dealer service history examples are the safest buy
  • Rear-wheel steering is standard on 63 — transformative on UK roads

Watch-outs

  • Subscription features (heated seats, performance modes) require ongoing payment — verify what's included
  • M177 V8 requires meticulous servicing — check oil change intervals
  • Check for any remapping — common on AMG cars and affects warranty
  • Infotainment can be slow on early C192 cars — check for software updates
  • Tyre costs are significant — four different tyre sizes front and rear

Our Verdict

The AMG GT 63 is Mercedes' most compelling performance car. The 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 produces 630bhp, the four-door body makes it genuinely practical, and the interior is a masterclass in modern luxury. It's not as driver-focused as the M5, but it's more refined and arguably more desirable.
