Verdict
The Mercedes-Benz AMG GT C192 is the clear performance and technology step up: 577 hp, 800 Nm, all-wheel drive and a 3.2-second 0-100 km/h time versus the C190’s 510 hp, 650 Nm, rear-wheel drive and 3.8 seconds. It also brings a 9-speed transmission, active anti-roll stabilisation, rear-axle steering and a 360-degree camera. But the RM820,339 gap is huge. For a Malaysian buyer shopping used, the C190 delivers the same 3,982 cc V8 layout, 310 km/h top speed and 350-litre boot for far less money.
Pick the Mercedes-Benz AMG GT C190 if you want the lower RM1,062,549 entry point, ventilated front seats and a rear-wheel-drive V8 coupe.
Pick the Mercedes-Benz AMG GT C192 if you will pay RM1,882,888 for 577 hp, 800 Nm, all-wheel drive, stronger safety assistance and a four-year manufacturer warranty.
