- The 2020 Mercedes AMG GT 53 4 door FINALLY rolls into the hangar complete with its 48V mild hybrid system. MotoMan goes through a tech review of the Mercedes AMG GT53 covering the engine, suspension, active aero and construction before driving it with the Porsche Panamera in mind. Meanwhile, back at the hanger, we learn in a round of our famous #OptionsGame the AMG GT 4 door is very easy to customize . . .

This guy is the best. He is a car enthusiast' college professor.
Humbled.
Without Motoman, my Saturday work break times would be far more boring.
Thank you, sir!
@@MotoManTV No, thank you Mr Notaras! Hope you're doing well!
S G man MotoManTV and Harry’s Garage if they knew how many days they kept me from getting fired my bosses yelling at me I just grab my AirPods and sneak away watch a MotoManTV review and forget I want kick my boss In the shins
73 will be a MONSTER !!
Sold my Tesla P85D & picked up my 2019 AMG GT 53 18 months ago. This car makes me smile every day. This Interior is superb - light years ahead of the Tesla which imho is way too spartan. It’s not as fast 0-60 as the Tesla but the AMG blows Tesla away in the twisties. One issue - the AC is spotty - so I usually drive with windows down if it’s hot which makes the snarls & pops of the exhaust that much better. For the $ this car delivers and then some.
True story to share with you . . . The guys @ the airport and I do a weekly weekend 'classic car' drive. The week I had this was BRUTALLY hot here in LA so left the cars you see in the hangar and drove the GT53. On the first stop, I was taunting all the other guys saying that I needed a parka in my AMG because it was cold enough in the car to hang meat. Welllllll . . . as soon as those words came out of my mouth and I got back in the car . . . BOOM, the AC crapped out on me for the rest of the day:)
@Leroy Brown but this looks better imo
Terrific sedan - but that interior. Black lacquer, pepper red leather and mood lighting. Looks like a 21st century interpretation of ah, The Cheyenne Social Club, ifyouknowwhutImean.
@Twitta Velli - I couldn't agree more! I enjoy not only the cars but the delivery of information regarding the cars. Well done MotoMan!
Has true passion and teaches me so much, thank you.
WOW . . . Thanks, Mike!
Greetings from Greece , great video as usual !!
Σας ευχαριστώ!
As usual, excellent and informative review. AMG GT, Panamera and 8 Series Gran Coupe. What a trio!
Audi A7 never forget
@@tjswann8479 A7 is category down rivals CLS.
@@JohnGuidetti751people never realize that they swear a7 is with those cars when it’s not
I Love his reviews
💜💜💜💜💜💜
Thank you!
Beautiful vehicle, love the red interior!
Motorman bringing us another great review
Thanks, Richard!
Man I’m like a 38 year old kid MotoManTV replied to my comment appreciate that and thanks for bringing the best content MotoManTV and Harry’s Garage the best doing it
This car in matte blue is 😍
Me thinks you will VERY much like our coming 2021 E63s episode . . . November 2.
@@MotoManTV can't wait
@@MotoManTV Neither can I!
Ausgezeichnet!!
Hi George! We have just ordered the GLE 53 SUV (not Coupe). Do you think that also the GLE 53 has a 'wrong' badge (AMG) like the CLS 53 you tested in the past? Thank you from Torino!
What makes the Porsche Panamera has better driving dynamics than this? considering the advancement of suspension, chassis bracing, and aero parts? Thanks
Same retail as the Panamera 4E.... I own the 4E and would never swap that for a GT53 which is supposed to be called the CLS53 AMG because this isn't a stand alone in house AMG product. Panamera has a sportier chassis and a more spacious interior as well. Also from this video I do believe the fit and finish of the interior is on another level in the Panamera compared to this.
Agreed. Plus I’d get the sport turismo of the panamera ;)
Panamera's interior is outdated bro that's a fact. Plus V6 engines are way too outdated compared to GT53 that's a fact. The only Panamera which makes sense these days is Turbo or GTS nothing else. Hybrid Panamera versions have much worse handling in comparison to non hybrid versions. They're simply too heavy.
@@7povo7 Lol that you think the panamera Gts makes sense
@@7povo7 The Panamera v6 and the interior was all new for 2018. I don't know what you mean by out dated...
Big Boss so study both engines and tech used and you’ll see for yourself. GT53 has got really cool F1 stuff and Mercedes is crushing any competition in F1. GT53 V6 is at least 5 years ahead of Porsche V6 in terms of development. And just to let you know Panamera is in the market since late 2016 which means tech inside is at the very best from 2015 engines even earlier.
Love the jeering cheers when you are calling them out for charging too much or charging for standard stuff. :D :D . I still want the car, tho. :D Even in the 6 cylinder trim.
How's the reliability vs the porche panarama????
As far as i know there is no torque converter in this. The starter-generator is mounted where the torque converter would be.
It’s always Porsche for me! I love both brands.
I have a 2020 G63 and a 2020 Porsche Panamera GTS. In my Panamera Class, 9 out of 10 times I’ll choose my Panamera.
Its always Porsche for me. The only time I
wont is in the SUV category.
Jackj28 what’s the engine in the panamera GTS is it still the V8 or is it a turbo V6 now. I haven’t driven either one but I see so many comments were people prefer the panamera
@@richardmahoney9415 In my previous 2018 4S I had a twin turbo V6. I think it was 430HP. But in my current 2020 GTS its a Twin Turbo V8 with 450hp or so. The previous GTS was NA V8 I believe. Current models they are a V8 twin turbo.
should i buy a Panamera or a gt53?
Let me find that coffe lamp. Sir. its more MFD then the first A-315s and A 320s.
Great review, but let's get down to the elephant in the room. For $120K loaded, how reliable is this beast? Am I buying a boat anchor that I should sell to the Navy, that's going to be in the shop half the time, or am I going to be able to enjoy driving? I'm coming from a ten year old Honda that's been serviced only for oil changes. Am I going to be disappointed with this AMG?
The beltline is too high, makes the GT look chunky and not as elegant as the OG A7.
M, now that you drove both 53s, which one would you choose? The GT or the CLS? They're practically the same car, a bit with a different wrapper and a spoiler? (Maybe a wider track as well?)
As always, excellent work, M.
Yes, wondering the same. CLS or GT-4door?
Tough call . . . I much prefer the design of the CLS but can't argue with the functionality of the 5th door . . .
@@MotoManTV I hear ya. The 5th door makes loading Drop Tanks more convenient.
Hi Motoman!
Love the seats!
How does this compare with the BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe?
Dynamically, they are close . . . but the BMW does edge this one out just a bit. Design wise, prefer the 8 Series. M8 Gran Coupe episode coming up shortly.
@@MotoManTV
I rewatched your 8 Series GC review. Interestingly the as-tested price almost matched the starting price of the MB and Porsche!
48 Volt Battery issues that Mercedes wants to keep quiet about... After just one week and less than 300 miles on my new 2021 AMG GT 53 she wouldn't start. I had to get her towed in to the Dealership and had to wait over 2 weeks for a 48V Battery to arrive from Germany. Its not an isolated problem. nice car when she runs.
miss Mean Jean from early days too, good team
Me too . . . . but he's been crazy busy restoring *very* fancy cars.
Waiting for Genesis to come up with a competitor to this for 40K less. Love the vids MotoMan. Car reviews with character.
This would still be the best
In comparison to a Porsche Panamera, GT 53's are a better value when NEW. But used is different. You can get the a GT 53 for half the price of new in a couple of years with less than 15k miles on it!! As of June 2023, you can get a 2020 or 2021 GT 53 speced to an orig MSRP of 129k for 75-80k US.
You can get a Panamera 4S with 443HP for around that price but you have to go a model year or two earlier.
I just got a pristine 2019 Porsche Panamera 4S with 13k miles for 74k dollars. The orig MSRP was 140k. I then paid 4k for an amazing 6 year RoadVantage warranty that co vers everything, including shocks/struts. The Gt53 is a great car but the Pana 4s handles much better, is quicker with the pdk transmission and offers more prestige.
I think they should try and make a maybach version of this car.
There are 26 letters in the alphabet and they can't come up with something that sounds better then "GT"?
I like more the porsche panamera sport turismo
I'd rather have the Porsche since it's honest. This Mercedes is just an e class with a curved top that's called a cls that's then called an amg gt. It's another step of fraud past calling the e43 an amg
id rather get a cls53..
Me too
0-60 4.4 sec, 4xxx pounds, 19-24mpg
.......
what's the selling point...@@???
Still slow as fuck when compared to v6 panameras (4s or 4 e-hybrid)
But is it better than my V4S? NO. LOL i know you cant compare a superbike to a sedan oh sorry coupe. I dont know where they get the balls calling these things coupes but what ever. On a serious note this makes me wanna take a look. I TD a AMG E63 vs an M5 both 20's and i was blown away how much better the M5 was to the AMG. The interior of the MB was creaky and touch points felt cheap, where the BMW was solid all around and extremely well put together. I then TD a 911 cause i thought maybe i want a manual and the 7MT excites me. Talk about well screwed together. First time in a modern 911 and i was thrilled. So then i thought maybe a Taycan? LOL i know im all over the map, my purchase point is sprint of next year and as i said i have a Ducati V4S so i go hella fast in that going through the gears...do i want a manual 911? Or a super sedan? Im still confused, there are so many excellent choices and each time i think i have it pinned down new news on the new up coming "what ever" strikes me down bringing me back to the table. Ugh.
Ridiculous pricing 🙄. The shit looks like a pickle
If I had the money I'd rather have something less... tastelss? :P It's more classy looking than the new BMW's. But the proportions, the stance - everything just looks like a loaf of bread kind of shaped like an Audi A7. The car does, as MotoMan says, look quite long. But it somehow manages to still looke like the wheelbase is to short for the body. The entire upper profile line lookes like a crooked back - like the first and maybe second gen Skoda Octavia. A car one size larger than the platform it's built on - so it just kind of fits. And the interior, allthough "nice" still looks like a place were you can buy vulgar services. Paired with that american 80's car dashboard.
How come Audi, with their vulgar grilles and huge chilish fender flairs, are the only german brand that (in my eyes) makes a desireable car in the rang with the RS6 Avant?
Rear looks terrible
How ugly can they make a car/fake SUV. Panamerica is not the best looker but this is hideous.
I am un-subscribering due to the recent youtube purge and censorship.
The downside of this is that it's still an E-Class underneath. The engine is on point, but it's still a fake AMG 😁.
This car is inferior by every means to the Panamera, it's actually quite boring and soulless and is not worth the cost when you can get an e63s with minor sacrifices for the same price......
this is bs There's panamere Turbo, GTS and then two V6 engines (one with 340hp other 430hp). The two V6 engines are outdated and by no means can compare to GT53's engine - that's a fact. Panamera GTS and Turbo would compare with GT63. If you're car fan you must also know that Mercedes is going after Porsche especially with the latest lineup.
2021 E63s coming up on November 2.
Nah , this fake AMG said nothing . It is an insulting compared to Porsche
A truly ugly Mercedes grossly overpriced as usual.
Smh 🤦♂️
