About the Mercedes-Benz AMG GT

Mercedes-Benz has sold the AMG GT in the US since the 2016 model year, and there have been two generations. The C190 came first (2016–2023), and the C192 took over for 2024–2026. Across those years NHTSA lists 39 vehicle recall campaigns and 35 owner complaints. EPA rates the C190 at 16–22 mpg combined, while the C192, whose lineup includes hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions, gets 14–22 mpg, counting the plug-in hybrid on gas alone. A free VIN decode gives you NHTSA vPIC’s record for the car (model year, engine, plant) and the NHTSA recalls for its model year. It won’t show theft, flood or lemon-law history.

Annual fuel cost is EPA’s estimate at its current fuel-price assumptions (15,000 miles a year, 55% city driving), so older years are priced at today’s fuel prices.

The AMG GT's VIN sits on a plate at the base of the driver's side windshield and on the door jamb sticker. The door sill on the driver's side carries a label, and the engine compartment firewall has a stamp. The C192 generation starts with the 2024 model year; the VIN’s 10th character (R for 2024) shows which side of that line a car falls on.
