      Mercedes-Benz is on the verge of unveiling its revamped AMG GT 4-Door, and today we received more than just a hint about the GT's updated interior. In our opinion, it’s a bit of a mixed bag. There are positives, negatives, and some indifferent aspects, so let's get into it.

      Starting with the positives, the GT’s driver-centric interior design continues, enhanced by the new center stack layout. The main infotainment display is now angled toward the driver's seat, along with the new drive mode adjustment controls on the left side of the center console. Additionally, the passenger side includes its own redundant infotainment screen and seems to feature a dedicated device charging cradle. There appear to be two separate pads beneath the main display, separated by a central divider to prevent items from shifting during spirited driving.

      “The interior underscores the vehicle’s primary function: a quintessential AMG driving experience with exhilarating dynamics and precise control,” Mercedes-Benz stated in its teaser. “This interior is an in-house creation from Affalterbach, designed to foster the most direct interaction between man and machine.”

      “Direct?” That’s certainly up for debate. We present the following as supporting evidence: The row of HVAC controls that previously occupied the area beneath the center screen has been removed. Observant readers will notice that the temperature controls are now part of the software and integrated into the bottom of the MBUX interface. Goodbye, physical switches.

      This change is part of what Mercedes describes as a “balanced operating concept” that blends tactile, haptic, touchscreen, and voice controls. To be fair, this shift away from analog controls is not entirely absolute. Not only are there new physical knobs on the center console to manage the vehicle’s performance systems, but the various buttons that were located ahead of the old console-mounted touch controller (may it rest in peace) are still there; they are now positioned between the wireless charging cradle and the trim surrounding the cup holders.

      While it is technically a 4-door, the GT's sweeping roofline prevents it from being a true family vehicle. The standard individual rear seats (instead of a full bench) further emphasizes this point. No changes in this area are expected.

      The latest generation of AMG’s GT models continues to evolve. Will this be the most refined interpretation of the 4-door concept yet? We will find out soon.
