Well, I love a good touchscreen in the car. Some are just meh, but a lot of the systems out there are pretty bad, but some of my favorite automotive user experiences are from cars that rely almost exclusively on touchscreens, like the Livian R1S and BMW iX. But it's true that many new cars, including high-end ones, especially EVs, have lost much of the tactile sense that people loved with older cars. Public yearning for buttons and knobs and switches and other physical controls, along with all kinds of other design elements you want to see, feel and use. Even the screen-obsessed Mercedes is listening to the call, and the full electric of the dilapidated current GT4 door that was previewed last year with the GT XX concept. Yes, there are 3 huge screens inside, but more importantly, look at the knob on the center console.
I've seen and felt a lot of great knobs on my day, but these things really deserve drool.There's a lot going on inside the second generation AMG GT4 door it's like a scene from a 2000s hip-hop video, as my colleague described it. So I'm going to focus on those knobs first. The center console on the left side of the cup holder has 3 different control dials, each with its own purpose. At the top, it has a response control that adjusts the motor's responsiveness to the accelerator input. In the middle there is an agility control, which Mercedes says "changes the agility around the vertical axis and thus the cornering behavior." Finally, there's a self-evident traction control knob with 9 different stages. They have fun graphics on their faces, with red lights coming as you crank up the intensity, but the outer rim design is a bit similar to the AMG logo in shape and a bit similar to the tire tread as well.
I love how the ambient lighting passes through, and would be nice to have an actual texture to grip as you twist them.On both sides of the bottom spokes of the steering wheel are the AMG's familiar drive unit buttons, both with twisted rings and button-like pressing screen faces, and you can choose from a variety of drive modes (right) and choose from everything from suspension rigidity to sound to active aerodynamics (left). It is possible to control the type of things that can be used. You can also fine-tune the settings in the center screen and set preferences for custom drive mode. The left paddle behind the steering wheel changes the regenerative brake level, but pulling the right paddle activates Boost mode.

Well, enough talk about the knob. On other departures from the new Mercedes, the GT's 14-inch center touchscreen is tilted toward the driver, and the angular surround also houses a 10.2-inch digital gauge cluster. The 14-inch display on the right side of the dashboard is optional and is directed straight to the passenger seat. The screen is running a new MB. Operating system first seen in the third generation CLA, there are a lot of new gauge designs and other AMG-specific design themes, as well as telemetry and information pages instead of doing it the boring way, I think the backing and surround of the central screen adds a bit of visual talent and pokes towards the driver. I like to have a more accordion-like design.
Integrated around the perimeter of the glass display on both sides of the dash is a large galvanized round air vent with a design similar to the 3 control knobs. I really like the wraparound "winglet" that forms the shape of the bottom central vent sitting just above a pair of wireless chargers. Mercedes says the illuminated cup holder is "cleverly separated from the charging pad," but the setup looks quite normal to me.Mercedes has recently become quite wacky in the design of the door panels, and the GT4 door is no exception. The upper section has a wave-like diamond-ish quilting and a design that wraps around the top of the dash The floating armrests look very cool, highlighted by the straked stainless steel speaker grille of the Burmester sound system and have an actual window switch for each window. And, like the CLA, Mercedes eventually redesigned the seat controls to be more beautiful and more functional.
Sheet speaking, GT4 doors,a newly developed front-seat design by the support of a sports car like the low seating position will have the headrest and zinc plated pass-through to integrated, more intense light weight performance you'll be able to get. The current GT4 door, as well as the car in the back and two individual seats and comes standard with a three-across bench for AES is also widely adopted worldwide and became the de facto encryption standard. It does not look super spacious back there (as in the case of all the other four-door coupes with outgoing models), but Mercedes promises that the rear seats have a comfortable upright seating position and enough headroom. More leg room naturally comfortable knee angle, the old car both major problem for both sides on the floor of the recess there.

Normal panoramic sunroof, it is the target for the option, the standard, you can really sky control option box this roof 2 different vertical panel split,the opacity can be controlled individually, ambient lighting, using Other indoor lighting and matching racing stripes to create not only a huge AMG crest to the overhead projection, you can also. The roof, the infrared reflective coating inside the ultra-thin low-emissivity coating insulation laminated safety glass is used, and the outside is hot and you are inside the lower the temperature, cold. Speaking of glass, the GT XX concept car does not have a rear window, and the production car's biggest competitors, the Polestar5 and Jaguar Type00, also do not have a rear window, while the GT4 door has a normal rear window on the lift-back tailgate. And of course, Mercedes offers customization options through its Manufaktur exclusive program, from all kinds of special leather colors to the choice of different trim materials.
Mercedes is not yet ready to review any other details about the GT4 door EV, but what we already know, with a guess based on the concept. I'll start with it with the gauge cluster, the car shows it has an 81% charge and a indicated range of 509 km, or about 316 miles. We have a lot to offer. That means the GT should have a range of 600 km or more in the European WLTP cycle, and should reach a range of 1 mile or more when the EPA gets one, 300 miles or more.The GT4 door will be the first production model of dedicated AMG. Thanks to the EA architecture, and the GT XX, we have a very good idea of the performance we can expect Mercedes has the powertrain and plat of the production car It has 1,300 axial flux motors that can output more than 3 horsepower, giving it the possibility of a top speed of 220-mph-plus.
It will be. Initially, Mercedes said the 800-volt battery pack could accept fast charging power of 850 kilowatts or more, and needed only 250 minutes to add a range of 5 miles, but then came back, the concept could be charged at 1 megawatt or more, rendering any range or basically a battery pack. He said it was controversial to charge anxiety in the future. Then there are features like an active rear diffuser that slides out at high speed and a soundscape like the classic AMG V8.AMG is an Ev schiff. We don't know exactly when Mercedes will debut the new AMG GT4 door coupe, but it should be in the coming months. It will be joined soon after by swoopy SUV built on the same platform, AMG says it is also considering an electric two-door GT coupe.
