Here’s a proper Tempting AMG Power Wagon! Welcome back to RBR guys, and I’ve covered the #C43 of the new gen a few times recently, but today we’re looking at the variant that may be the most attractive… the C43 estate/wagon/t modell/touring/family hauler!! #MercedesAMG make some of the world’s best looking and fastest wagons, so I have high hopes for this car after driving the sedan version!
The is a very different set up to the V6 3.0 big turbo engine in the previous 205 series C43 - that engine was a conventional “off the line” Mercedes Benz engine, with some AMG software, so it was an engine you’d see used in a plethora of other Mercedes cars. It did sound great, and was potent at 362 BHP, with the Facelift giving 390bhp. However it was linked to a torque convertor gearbox, inspiring chassis set up and very safe looks.
With this new generation, some things like the 4Matic and the basic design similarity to the standard New C Class still exists. BUT huge changes come else where — especially with engine!! Most assume it’s a huge downgrade going to 4 cylinders, but in reality this is more of an AMG engine than the C43 has had before. Now it uses a variation of the engine found in the new A45, but longitudinally mounted PLUS the first use of an F1 derived “E TURBO”. It’s also a “one man one engine” unit meaning it was built by hadn’t rather than being machine made! This makes the C43 a proper AMG, sharing it’s engine with only the new SL43 and future C63S hybrid.
The engine is not massively powerful, at 408BHP, less torque at 500NM and a quoted 0-60 of 4.7 - but you’ll see me do it faster!
But impressive is the world's first electric exhaust gas turbocharger, paired to a combustion engine. This is a turbo straight out of the AMG ONE hyper car and the C63S to come. Thanks to a 4cm electric motor inside the turbocharger shaft, the turbos stay spooled and ready before the Exhaust gases reach the turbos thus giving a much more responsive feel which makes the engine feel more natural! A belt starter generator gives it an additional 14HP when required too.
As for the chassis it’s all C43 unique versus normal C Class, with the proper AMG RIDE CONTROL suspension with Adaptive Damping, lightweight coil springs, stabiliser bars/struts and an aluminium sheer panel on the front all to help dynamics. It also gets the brilliant AMG variable ratio steering and rear axle steering as standard, up to 2.5 degrees.
The gearbox comes from E63, the wet clutch AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 9 speed - the best box AMG makes in standard cars. 4matic is as before, with a 69 bias on the rear, and of course we have AMG’s own Braking system, and AMG Performance Exhaust system augmented by “AMG Real Performance Sound” with a microphone picking up actual engine sound and feeding it inside.
The wagon has a large boot with even more space hidden under flaps in the floor, as well as the ability to split fold 3 or 2 of the seats and act as a huge luggage hauler! Our car today has the Aerodynamic Package, which on the wagon adds the front splitter extension, larger from aero flicks, a more aggressive diffuser and an additional rear spoiler — all in gloss black.
A C63 wagon will also come with an additional hybrid system on the rear boosting this system’s power to 670BHP - but will it be too heavy? We will see.
Today I want to see how the C43 wagon does vs the sedan, as well as some key rivals like the m340i. Will it have enough emotion and dynamism to keep an AMG addict happy? Let’s find out!
