Rory headed over to Germany to review the brand new Mercedes-AMG C43. Here he talks us through the new exterior design, interior tech, as well as exploring the bold new 2-litre engine with F1 tech, designed to replace the 3-litre V6 on the previous car. Does it punch above its weight?

I think they are doing this comparison intentionally just so that people would start to comment that RS6 is from class above. Mission accomplished I suppose, but shows bad taste to use such cheap tricks when cars and presenting those should have the focus. Luckily presentation itself and video work is excellent as always.

Agree with Mike, didn't get the constant comparisons to cars in a different class? RS6, E63...? C43 is aimed at 340, S4, surely? And the equivalent "level" in the A Class would be the A35, so no surprise the A45 is quicker than the C43. Other than that... 😀 Nicely reviewed, quite like MB's 43 & 53 packages. (Apart from cost!)

Great review 👌 Probably the reason why the airvents in the front make noise even on level one is because you have the back airco temperature both on LO (few shots back) and the fans on max. That means the airco system is pushing extra air to the rear to make it colder than 16 degrees Celsius which you hear. Put the rear on a normal temperature and it will be nice and quiet 😉

True, pure EV is first of all booooring, and second, does create 3x more harm than ICE powered cars in manufacturing stage purely because of toxic waste from mostly batteries. The right answer is the electrification of turbo-charged petrol ICE engines so that you take away the part where engine struggles the most and that improves performance and took away the higher power consumption at the time

in 2020 I agonized over the C43 AMG Estate. The drive was a true drivers experience, the steering and steering wheel put a smile on my face. Ultimately though, it lost out because it was $15K more expensive than the M340i, which was less engaging, but a totally better overall package, esp including infotainment. This model looks like it would much more comparable. The Engine size downgrade doesn't bother me one bit, I have been in some insanely fast 2l cars and it sounds like they have done a fine job tuning it. Great video, high quality as always.

If I had a bucket of cash and wanted an estate (which I do) and lived in Europe (which I don't), I would definitely take this out for a test drive (then ask about an entered warranty and maintenance contract since I'll need one).

There's a reason why even F1 now run V6's. Great review by Rory and the team as always💯.
