Mercedes-Benz Malaysia today officially announced the introduction of the new, locally assembled Mercedes-AMG C43 4MATIC which was previewed a couple of months ago.

At the heart of the new Mercedes-AMG C 43 4MATIC is the AMG 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine, which combines innovative technologies and high performance with exemplary efficiency. The internally named M139l engine (l for longitudinal installation) is the world’s first series-production engine to be turbocharged with an electric exhaust gas turbocharger.

The innovative system is a direct derivative of the technology that the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team has been using so successfully in motorsport for many years. The new form of turbocharging guarantees particularly spontaneous response across the entire rev range. This leads to an even more dynamic driving experience, while increasing efficiency.

The rear axle steering, the AMG Performance 4MATIC permanent all-wheel drive with rear-biased torque distribution, the AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 9G transmission with wet start-off clutch and the DYNAMIC BODY CONTROL suspension with Adaptive Damping System also all contribute to the sporty driving experience.

In keeping with this, brand-specific equipment and appointments features as well as the details of the exterior and interior design emphasise the performance-oriented character of the new AMG C 43 4MATIC.

The equipment includes 5-twin-spoke 19-inch AMG light-alloy wheels, the latest-generation MBUX infotainment system, AMG-specific displays, AMG seats and the AMG Performance steering wheel in Nappa leather with AMG steering wheel buttons. Numerous AMG-specific appointments fulfil the wishes of customers that desire high-performance driving in a mid-size executive sedan.

In the 2.0-litre four-cylinder in-line engine, innovative technology helps the AMG C 43 4MATIC to achieve a rated output of 300 kW (408 hp) at 6750 rpm. The maximum torque of 500 Nm is available at 5000 rpm. Depending on the situation, the system also briefly provides an additional boost of 10 kW (14 hp) through the belt-driven starter generator (RSG).

The second-generation RSG acts as a mild hybrid, providing this temporary power boost as well as functions such as gliding and recuperation for maximum efficiency. At the same time, the 48-volt technology also increases comfort, as the transitions between the start-stop function and the gliding mode function are almost imperceptible.

The AMG C 43 4MATIC accelerates from a standstill to 100 km/h in just 4.6 seconds. The top speed is electronically limited at 250 km/h. The AMG sports braking system with silver-painted brake callipers and black “AMG” lettering guarantees outstanding deceleration values and optimum control. On the AMG C 43 4MATIC, internally ventilated and perforated brake discs measuring 370 x 36 millimetres with 4-piston fixed callipers are fitted at the front axle, and discs measuring 320 x 24 millimetres with 1-piston floating callipers at the rear.

The AMG exhaust system with its sporty engine sound provides the appropriate acoustic background. Depending on the drive program selected, the noise level ranges from balanced and discreet to emotionally sporty. The sound characteristics are controlled via an exhaust gas flap, depending on engine speed and load.

Outside as well as inside, numerous AMG-specific details underscore both the dynamic and the luxurious character of the AMG C 43 4MATIC. In terms of exterior design, these include the AMG-specific radiator grille with vertical struts in cphrome, the AMG front apron with flics, sporty air intakes and chrome-plated trim element, the matching side sill panels, the diffuser-look rear apron and the two round twin-tailpipe trim elements.

The panoramic sliding sunroof allows ample light to enter the cabin and the included DIGITAL LIGHT constantly adapts the illumination of the road to the lighting conditions, the traffic situation, the course of the road and the weather.

In the interior, such features as AMG seats with a distinctive upholstery layout and seat covers in ARTICO man-made leather/MICROCUT microfibre in black with red contrasting stitching and red seat belts provide a particularly sporty touch.

The two round AMG steering wheel buttons allow fast and unerring operation of various dynamic driving functions and of the AMG DYNAMIC SELECT drive programs. The instrument panel and the beltlines are upholstered in ARTICO man-made leather in Nappa look with red topstitching.

The AMG C 43 4MATIC comes with a 12.3-inch driver display and 11.9-inch central display housing the MBUX. The MBUX infotainment system includes various AMG-specific displays and functions. These include special displays in the instrument cluster, in the portrait-format multimedia central display in the centre console and in the head-up display.

Added to this is the shortcut button for the AMG DYNAMIC SELECT drive programs. AMG TRACK PACE, the data logger for use on the race track, is also integrated. The software records more than 80 vehicle-specific data such as speed, acceleration, steering angle and brake pedal actuation ten times per second while the car is being driving around a race track.

In addition, there is a display of lap and sector times as well as additional training and analysis tools. Also included is the MBUX augmented reality for navigation, hard-disc navigation, fingerprint scanner, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and ambient lighting.

The safety features within the AMG C 43 4MATIC include Driving Assistance Package Plus with Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC, Active Parking Assist with PARKTRONIC, and Active Lane Keeping Assist. In addition to that, the vehicle comes with Parking Package with 360-degree camera, as well as GUARD 360° Vehicle protection. The Mercedes-AMG C 43 4MATIC is priced at MYR 443,888 (including 10% ST) for Peninsular Malaysia.
