2024 C-Class Selector
FAST FACTS
MotorDonkey's proprietary vehicle data identifies every significant version of each model so that you can compare and decide. There's only one standalone version of the 2024 Mercedes-Benz AMG C43, and here it is, along with our expert analysis and recommendations.
Although the C43's turbocharged and electrically assisted 2.0-liter engine makes eye-popping power for a four-cylinder — 201 horsepower per liter is almost unheard of — it's the "four-cylinder" part that will be the problem for many enthusiasts. AMG, after all, is an enthusiast sub-brand, and its loyal customers will likely be disappointed in this complex new engine's lack of character. The previous C43's twin-turbo V6 was far more engaging.
