The C-Class remains one of Mercedes‘ best-selling
models, and now, after a recent update, it’s more S-Classy than ever. For some,
the C-Class was always meant to be a sportier and more compact S-Class, a philosophy that also carried with it a smaller price tag.
The changes are of course subtle, yet also
significant, depending on which aspects of a car interest you most. For
example, if the updated headlights don’t tickle your fancy, then perhaps the
available 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster will, thanks to its high
resolution of 1920×720 pixels.
Other changes inside include the new steering wheel
with touch-sensitive buttons, an updated touchpad, updated head-up display and
the optional 10.25-inch infotainment system, to go with improved voice control
and a few new additions to its active safety systems.
When it comes to performance, focusing on the C43
4MATIC version should definitely help, as it too has been upgraded for the
2019MY. It now has 23 more horses than before, bringing the total to 390 PS,
coming from its 3.0-liter twin turbocharged V6, along with 520 Nm of torque.
The Mercedes-AMG C43 is capable of sprinting to 100
km/h in just 4.7 seconds if you opt for the sedan, and 4.8 seconds if
your cup of tea is the Estate version.
