Looking first at the starting prices of both the AMG® GT 53 and the Panamera 4, the Mercedes-Benz has a slight price advantage over the Porsche. If you’re thinking that this extra money will get you more from the Panamera 4, you’re in for a surprise.
The AMG® GT 53 is powered by a sophisticated 3.0L AMG®-enhanced inline-6 turbo with EQ boost and electric auxiliary compressor, giving you the perfect balance of performance and efficiency. While larger in size and significantly more powerful than the 2.9L found on the Porsche, the AMG® GT 53 manages to deliver greater city fuel economy than the Panamera 4. A more advanced 9-speed automatic transmission and speed-sensitive steering provide greater response and driver engagement behind the wheel of the AMG® GT 53.
Since even the most talented drivers need a helping hand from time to time, Mercedes-Benz equips the AMG® GT 53 with a comprehensive collection of driver-assistive safety technologies you won’t find at Porsche. Standard automatic high beam headlights, automatic parking assistant, and the ECall emergency system are examples of useful features that you’ll enjoy with the AMG® GT 53. These great technologies are either costly options or not available at all on the Porsche Panamera 4.
In terms of comfort and convenience, the clear favorite is the AMG® GT 53. Using standard Mercedes me connect and your compatible smart device, you’re able to pre-heat or pre-cool the interior thanks to its remote start system. When it comes to finding your ideal driving position, you’ll have a much easier time with the standard power tilt/telescoping steering column of the AMG® GT 53. Rear-seat occupants will appreciate the added convenience of a rear wireless charging pad. Lastly, a greater number of speakers gives you a superior listening experience inside the Mercedes-AMG® GT 53.
