MARKET ANALYSIS
4 Door X290 (2019 to 2023)

The Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupé (X290), manufactured globally from 2019 to 2023, represents a bold fusion of the brand's dedicated supercar performance with the practical five-door liftback versatility of a luxury executive. While it shares its nomenclature with the two-door GT, the X290 actually utilises a heavily reinforced chassis architecture derived from the E-Class and CLS, allowing it to offer seating for up to five and a substantial 461-litre boot. The range reached its technological peak with the GT 63 S E Performance, a plug-in hybrid that combines a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 with a rear-mounted electric motor to produce a staggering 620kW and over 1,400Nm of torque. In the 2026 Australian market, the X290 has attained a significant level of desirability, particularly as it stands as one of the last high-performance V8 "super-saloons" available before the brand's wider transition to smaller displacement hybrid powertrains. The buyer pool in Australia is notably diverse, consisting of high-level executives who value the model's presence and performance-oriented families who require the all-wheel-drive security of the 4MATIC+ system for long-distance touring. Locally, market value has remained remarkably resilient for original, Australian-delivered examples with low kilometres, with 2026 buyers frequently targeting the limited Edition 1 launch models and the range-topping E Performance for their status as definitive flagship assets. For the Australian aficionado, the X290 is celebrated for its ability to maintain modern highway speeds with absolute composure while offering a tech-laden cabin featuring the latest MBUX interfaces.
