Mercedes-Benz AMG C 43: Design

MERCEDEZ-BENZ AMG C 43

The Mercedes-AMG C43 stands out with distinctive features compared to the standard C-Class sedan. Notably, it showcases the Panamericana grille with vertical slats,. It also incorporates adaptive LED headlights with a single DRL, prominent air intakes on the front bumper with black accents, and gloss-black wing mirrors.

The side profile maintains its general appearance, with new 'Turbo Electrified' badges, thicker side sills, and standard 18-inch alloy wheels being the main differences. The Mercedes-AMG C 43 features distinctive AMG-specific alloy wheels in its profile, as well as a modified diffuser and exhaust system at the rear.

Interior And Features

When it comes to the interiors, there's not a substantial difference between the C 43 and the standard C-Class. The notable distinctions include AMG-specific digital graphics on the 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and the 11.9-inch touchscreen system. The cabin also boasts an AMG-themed leather-wrapped flat-bottom steering wheel, sporty seats, pedals, and eye-catching red seat belts. Some noteworthy features comprise Mercedes' intelligent auto headlights, known as Digital Light, and a high-quality 710W, 15-speaker Burmester sound system.

Engine: Where The Magic Is!

The previous 362hp, 3.0-litre turbocharged V6 engine has been replaced with a new 2.0-litre four-cylinder unit featuring an electric turbocharger. This engine now generates 408hp and 500Nm of torque, with an additional 14hp contributed by the 48V mild-hybrid system. Power is transmitted to all four wheels through a nine-speed automatic gearbox with a 'Race Start' feature, courtesy of Merc-AMG's 4MATIC drive system. As a result of this, it goes from 0-100 kmph in just 4.7 seconds.

The downsized, yet more powerful 2.0-litre engine in the C43 AMG incorporates technology inspired by Formula 1, notably the electric exhaust gas turbocharger. This advanced turbocharging system employs a 48V electric motor to deliver immediate and responsive performance across the entire range of engine speeds.

Rivals

The Mercedes-Benz C43 AMG provides a sportier option within the C-Class sedan lineup. In its class, the BMW M340i and Audi S5 Sportback are the primary competitors to the Mercedes C43 AMG performance sedan.

Verdict

The Mercedes-AMG C43 is a high-performance car that combines luxury and sportiness. With an ex-showroom price of Rs. 98 lakhs, it features a powerful 2.0-liter engine with an electric exhaust gas turbocharger, providing an exhilarating driving experience. While not as extreme as the full-fledged AMG C 63, the C 43 offers spirited performance and a sporty design staying true to its AMG lineage.
