Buyers will also find a host of driver assistance systems including Pre-Safe, Pre-Safe Sound, and Active Brake Assist. They’re joined by Blind Spot Assist with Exit Warning Assist, Parktronic with Active Parking Assist, a Surround View System, and Car-to-X communications technology.

A turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine resides under the hood, where it produces 402 hp (300 kW / 408 PS) and 369 lb-ft (500 Nm) of torque. It’s connected to a nine-speed automatic transmission, which sends power to a standard all-wheel drive system. This setup enables the car to rocket from 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in 4.6 seconds.

Sticking with the performance theme, the C43 has a sport suspension with AMG Ride Control. The sedan also comes equipped with an AMG sport braking system that features 14.6 inch (371 mm) perforated front discs that are grabbed by silver-painted four-piston calipers. They’re joined by 12.6 inch (320 mm) discs out back as well as an active rear-wheel steering system.

Customers will also find “enhanced ambient lighting” and GPS navigation with an augmented reality function.
