THE MOTORCALIBER REVIEW
MotorCaliber editorial ◆ Reviewed against NHTSA data ◆ 2026-10-01

The Mercedes-Benz GT Class achieved a strong Safety Index, particularly given its segment. The vehicle was not rated in any specific crash test categories by NHTSA, including front, side, or rollover. This is a common occurrence for low-volume, high-performance vehicles. Despite the lack of specific crash-test data, the GT Class has not been the subject of any recalls. The absence of recalls or complaints in its debut year is notable.

The Mercedes-Benz GT Class, spanning model years 2019 to 2023, lacks federal crash-test data. NHTSA has not published star ratings for this vehicle across any of those years. This means a traditional safety evaluation, anchored by the agency's impact assessments and our computed Safety Index, cannot be performed. Such an absence of testing is common for vehicles produced in lower volumes within the high-performance segment. Despite the lack of crash-test results, the GT Class maintains a clean record regarding federal recalls. Zero recalls have been issued for the 2019 through 2023 model years. Owner complaints are also minimal, totaling 14 across all years covered. No complaints cite crashes or injuries, and no fatalities have been reported. One complaint does, however, allege a fire-related concern. While this is an unverified allegation, it warrants acknowledgment. The low volume of complaints is commensurate with the limited number of these vehicles in operation. Buyers considering the 2019-2023 Mercedes-Benz GT Class should note the absence of federal crash-test results, alongside its unblemished recall history and very limited complaint data.

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.

WHAT TO KNOW
  • 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.
