Mercedes-Benz AMG GT: C190 vs C192
Verdict
The Mercedes-Benz AMG GT C192 is the harder-hitting new-generation car: 577 hp, 850 Nm, all-wheel drive and 0-100 km/h in 3.2 seconds, versus the C190’s 510 hp, 650 Nm, rear-wheel drive and 3.8 seconds. It also gets a four-year warranty instead of two. But at RM1,882,888 against RM1,062,549, the gap is huge for Malaysia, while road tax is identical at RM6,549 a year and boot space differs by just one litre.
Pick the Mercedes-Benz AMG GT C190 if you want the lower buy-in, rear-wheel drive and nearly the same luggage space without chasing the quickest 0-100 km/h time.
Pick the Mercedes-Benz AMG GT C192 if you want the faster new-generation AMG GT with all-wheel drive, 850 Nm and a longer four-year warranty.
