2019 Mercedes-AMG GT Roadster Interior and Cargo

While the interior feels remarkably upscale, some of the trim pieces aren't fitted to the degree befitting of a nearly $200,000 car. We could hear a few pieces squeak over rough pavement and the whole car creaks when you drive over curbs. These issues may just be relegated to our tester though, as the rest of the interior is beautifully appointed with leather, Alcantara, and carbon fiber. Buyers can choose from a variety of leather colors including black, brown, red, and silver. Ours was finished with a black leather interior with contrast yellow stitching.

What can be said about the GT C's trunk space that cannot be surmised purely by looking at it? Space is limited with 5.8 cubic feet of space, significantly more than the mid-engined奥迪R8, which can only muster four cubic feet. There should be no reason why two people shouldn't be able to pack at least two changes of underwear and a few bottles of Moët & Chandon. It is worth noting the GT Coupe is more practical with 10.1 cubic feet of storage due to its liftback design.

Small-item storage is limited to a few storage nooks, which will hold a set of keys and a phone, and Mercedes-AMG was gracious enough to include some cupholders placed awkwardly in front of the climate controls.

除了全面performance-orientated GT Rmodels, the GT C sits at the top of the Mercedes-AMG GT range, which means it benefits from a wide range of standard features. On the outside, there's a keyless access system with automatic trunk opening, electrically folding and auto-dimming mirrors that project the AMG logo when entering the vehicle, and active front air control that controls the flow of air to the front brakes to aid in cooling. Automatic LED lighting can be found at the front and back and includes daytime running lights.

The rear-end of the GT C features some impressive tech: the rear aerofoil extends at higher speeds for increased negative lift and retracts when cruising at lower speeds while the exhaust system gets an electronically controlled valve that is able to vary volume according to the occasion. The interior of the GT C offers heated power seats with lumbar, and side bolster adjustment, neck-level air heating and cooling, a 12.3-inch driver info display, and a dual-zone automatic climate control system. Driver aids are few though, with only a rearview camera made standard, while adaptive cruise control, blind-spot assist, and lane-keep assist are optional.

For 2019, the AMG GT still relies on the last-generation Mercedes COMAND infotainment system. 2020 models will receive an update version featuring the new touchpad from the updated MBUX system, though it will still be tied to COMAND. In just a few short years, COMAND has been outclassed by other systems and it lacks the usability and customizability found in its successor. Many of the important functions are buried in confusing sub-menus, making the system difficult to navigate and nearly impossible to master.
