Verdict
For a Malaysian buyer, the Mercedes-Benz AMG GT C192 is the faster, more technically ambitious choice: 577 hp and 800 Nm cut the 0-100 km/h time from 3.8 to 3.2 seconds, while all-wheel drive, rear-axle steering and active anti-roll stabilisation add real hardware. But the RM1,882,888 asking price is RM820,339 above the C190’s RM1,062,549. The outgoing C190 remains the rational used buy if its 510 hp, rear-wheel-drive layout and 1,570-kg kerb weight deliver the AMG GT experience you want without funding the newer car’s substantial performance and technology jump.
Pick the Mercedes-Benz AMG GT C190 if you want the far lower entry price, rear-wheel drive, ventilated seats and auto parking.
Pick the Mercedes-Benz AMG GT C192 if you want 577 hp, 800 Nm, all-wheel drive and a 3.2-second 0-100 km/h time.
