Mercedes-Benz GT Class
NHTSA safety across every Mercedes-Benz GT Class model year we cover.
Across the 4 model years of the Mercedes-Benz GT Class we cover (2019 to 2023), no year has an NHTSA crash-test score on record. No recalls are on record across those years.
The Mercedes-Benz GT Class is a high-performance sports car that competes at the top of the two-door grand tourer and supercar-adjacent segment. Aimed squarely at enthusiast buyers who prioritize driving dynamics and AMG-engineered performance, it carries a premium price point and a low-volume production profile that sets it apart from mainstream offerings in Mercedes-Benz's broader lineup.
From a pure safety-data standpoint, the 2019-2023 Mercedes-Benz GT Class presents a picture that is notably thin on federal benchmarks. NHTSA has not crash-tested this model during the years we cover, which means there are no star ratings or Safety Index scores to anchor a traditional safety evaluation. That absence is not unusual for low-volume, high-performance vehicles in this segment, but it does leave shoppers without the independent federal verification that more mainstream models carry. On the recall front, the GT Class posts a clean record across our entire coverage window, with zero recalls issued across model years 2019 through 2023. That is a genuinely positive data point. Owner complaints are minimal as well, with just 14 total filed across all covered years. None of those complaints involve crashes or injuries, and zero fatalities have been reported. One complaint does allege a fire-related concern, which is always worth noting even as an unverified allegation. The low complaint volume is partly a function of how few of these vehicles are on the road relative to mass-market models. The honest bottom line is this: the GT Class arrives with no federal crash-test data to evaluate, a spotless recall record, and a complaint profile that is quiet but not entirely without a flag. Buyers should factor the absence of NHTSA testing into their decision and consider independent safety resources where available.
WHAT REVIEWERS SAYReviewers generally regard the Mercedes-Benz GT Class as a precisely engineered, driver-focused sports car that delivers exceptional performance with a cabin that feels genuinely premium in its materials and refinement. Most assessments highlight sharp, communicative handling alongside a surprising degree of everyday comfort, though some note that rear visibility and practicality are naturally limited by the low-slung body style.
- NHTSA has not crash-tested the 2019-2023 Mercedes-Benz GT Class, so there are no federal star ratings available for this model. Shoppers cannot rely on government crash-test scores when comparing it to rivals that have been tested.
- The GT Class carries a perfect recall record across all covered model years from 2019 to 2023, with zero recalls issued. That is a standout result and a meaningful positive signal for a vehicle in this performance tier.
- One of the 14 owner complaints filed with NHTSA across this model's covered years involves an alleged fire-related concern. These are unverified allegations, but a fire complaint is always worth monitoring, and shoppers should check NHTSA's complaint database for any updates before purchasing.
- The very low total complaint count of 14 across five model years reflects in part how few GT Class vehicles are registered in the United States. Low volume can make complaint data less statistically representative than it would be for a high-volume model, so each individual complaint carries proportionally more weight.
