SL63 AMG
The Mercedes-AMG C43 in sedan and estate body styles is now available on sale in United Kingdom.
Making the transition from the “Mercedes-Benz C450 AMG Sport” name to “Mercedes-AMG C43,” the model bridges the gap between the regular C Class and the mighty C63. Pricing kicks off at £44,460 if you go for the sedan and from £45,660 if you would rather have the more practical estate. These two body styles join the already available C43 Coupe which will set you back £46,280.
The C450 trio shares a biturbo 3.0-liter V6 engine which churns 367 horsepower (270 kilowatts) and 384 pound-feet (520 newton meters) of torque. Output is delivered exclusively to the all-wheel-drive 4MATIC system through a nine-speed automatic transmission. The sedan and coupe will run to 60 mph (96 kph) in 4.7 seconds whereas the slightly heavier estate needs an extra 0.2 seconds.
All C43s in U.K. specification come as standard with black 18-inch alloy wheels, silver brake calipers with “AMG” lettering, and black mirror caps. The interior is finished in ARTICO leather and DINAMICA microfiber upholstery and gets red contrast stitching to spice things up. At an additional cost, you can add AMG performance seats for £1,405 and the AMG performance exhaust for a meaner sound if you are willing to pay an extra £1,000.
The C43s are now available on order and will start reaching customers by September.
In related news, Mercedes-Benz UK has announced the introduction of 4MATIC for the C200, C220d, and C250 for an additional £1,500 compared to the equivalent RWD variant. There’s also a new SE Executive Edition for the sedan and estate which costs £1,295 more than the SE. In exchange for the premium you get 17-inch rims, Active Parking Assist (with PARKTRONIC), heated front seats, split folding rear seats (40:20:40), estate-only chrome roof rails, and Garmin navigation.

They had c43 coupe on Mercedes website last week for configuration but it has now been removed.

Does anybody know why? Are they changing the price again?

Yeah I thought I was dreaming, one day it was on the config., next day gone.

I noticed that there C63 Coupe Prices were increased by £630 when the
43's came online, interesting.

There's an inflationary price increase on nearly every model in the range, c class included

except that inflation has been at or near zero for months
 
I am liking the look of this one :)
Good performance / economy blend

The only three reasons I didn't wait is:

1. The wait
2. The price
3. The reliability issues on the W205 I keep reading on here
 
I'd say it's great value given the price of a spec'ed up A45 or CLA45

Looking at it that way I don't disagree but it looks exactly the same as a c200d AMG line. That bothers me for £45k (likely £55k with any decent spec)

I have one on order, specced up so I doesn't look like an AMG Line, and it wasn't even 45k let alone 55k. This car sits perfect in the range, and against the competition.
 
AMGs can have 2, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 12 cylinders I believe.

Some have only 7 too, but not on purpose.


A proper AMG should have a V8 engine. Especially using the name of a great AMG model to label a boring new model just for marketing purposes :crazy:

There have been many non V8 AMG's. Not sure what qualifies you to define a proper AMG and I'm pretty definite you haven't driven the 43, so not qualified to call it boring.

I have driven 95% of all Mercedes models from 1995 to present day so am pretty well qualified. Not driven the new C43 yet granted, but driven a few w205 C63's and they were very disappointing TBH. The old C63 is way better :thumb:


 
When is an AMG not an AMG?

When it's a marketing ploy. They even use fake names on the AMG plaques

Really?
