The new Mercedes-AMG C 43 4MATIC uses the latest generation Mercedes-AMG 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine.

The turbocharger uses the 48‑volt electrical system, which also feeds the belt-driven starter-generator (RSG). The 300kW/500Nm Mercedes‑AMG C 43 4MATIC can also make use of a 10 kW boost from the RSG.

Other gear includes standard rear-axle steering, AMG Performance 4MATIC permanent all-wheel drive with rear-biased torque distribution, an AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 9G transmission with wet start-off clutch, and AMG RIDE CONTROL suspension with Adaptive Damping System.

“The C-Class has always been an absolute success story for Mercedes-AMG. With the innovative technology of the electric exhaust gas turbocharger, we are once again significantly increasing the attractiveness of this latest generation,” says Philipp Schiemer, Chairman of the Board of Management of Mercedes AMG GmbH.

“The new turbocharging system and the 48-volt on-board electrical system not only contribute to the outstanding driving dynamics of the C 43 4MATIC, but also improve its efficiency.
