The 2.0L, 4-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine, which is aided by the 48V mild hybrid system, is a major highlight of the new Mercedes-AMG C43 for 2023. It produces 402bhp and 500Nm of torque, according to the manufacturer. While it has a better power output than its predecessor, it has a lower torque output by 20Nm. The performance sedan accelerates from 0 to 100 kilometres per hour in 4.6 seconds, with the estate variant taking 0.1 second longer than the basic body type.
With the standard 18-inch wheels, the new AMG C43 can reach a top speed of 250kmph. With the optional AMG Driver’s package, which features 19/20-inch wheels, it can reach a top speed of 265kmph.

A 9-speed automatic gearbox handles the transmission chores. A rear-biased AMG-specific 4Matic AWD system distributes power to all four wheels. The AMG C43 has four different driving modes: Comfort, Sport, Sport+, and Individual. Steel springs with adjustable dampers are installed, as well as a new exhaust system. A synthesiser can be used to increase the exhaust note via the speakers. It’s included in the performance sound pack.
