The 2023 Mercedes-AMG® C 43 Sedan, now available in U.S. dealerships starting from $59,900*, sets new standards in its segment. With technology derived directly from Formula 1™, the new AMG® C 43 combines innovative drive solutions and high performance with efficiency.

The Mercedes-AMG® C 43 Sedan will be offered in two specially curated trim levels for the U.S. market: Premium and Pinnacle. The Premium trim showcases a generous suite of standard equipment, while the Pinnacle trim builds upon this with additional multimedia, connectivity and comfort features. A variety of available packages and optional equipment provide customers with numerous opportunities for individualization.

At the heart of the new AMG® C 43 is a hand-built M139l engine – the world’s first series-production unit with an electric exhaust-gas turbocharger. This innovative new form of turbocharging is a direct derivative of the technology used by the Mercedes-AMG® Petronas F1 Team and provides spontaneous response across the entire rpm range. The advanced 402 hp powertrain also benefits from two-stage direct injection, a sophisticated cooling system that can cool the cylinder head and crankcase to different temperature levels, and a belt-driven starter generator (RSG). The second-generation RSG provides a temporary boost of up to 13 hp during certain driving conditions and supports gliding and recuperation for maximum efficiency, among other functions.

The standard rear-axle steering, AMG® Performance 4MATIC® permanent all-wheel drive with rear-biased torque distribution, AMG® SPEEDSHIFT® MCT 9G transmission and AMG® RIDE CONTROL suspension with Adaptive Damping System also contribute to the exceptional driving experience.

The exterior of the AMG® C 43 features numerous AMG®-specific details that underscore the vehicle’s performance character, including the AMG®-specific radiator grille with distinctive chrome vertical struts. The dynamic aesthetic is further heightened by the available AMG® Performance Studio Package, AMG® Carbon Fiber Package, AMG® Night Package or AMG® Night Package II, as well as new optional 20-inch AMG® alloy wheels.

The sporty design extends to the interior with a flat-bottom AMG® Performance steering wheel in Nappa leather fitted standard. New optional AMG® Performance seats, available with MB-Tex/microfiber or leather upholstery, provide the driver and front passenger with excellent lateral support during dynamic driving.
