Mercedes ups C-Class
range
MERCEDES-BENZ is introducing further models to the already extensive C-Class line-up.
A high-performance AMG C43 4MATIC is now available in saloon and estate versions, following on from the recently introduced C 43 coupe.
For the first time in the UK, 4MATIC all-wheel drive is also now available across the C-Class range in the C 200, C 220d and C 250.
The AMG C 43, which starts at £44,460 for the saloon, comes with a turbocharged 3.0-litre V6 petrol engine producing 367bhp.
The C 43 saloon and coupe can sprint from 0 to 62 mph in just 4.7 seconds, while the estate takes 4.9 seconds.
All C 43 models come with a 9G-TRONIC automatic transmission - with shortened shift times - as standard.
Othe standard equipment on the C 43 includes Artico leather and Dinamica microfibre upholstery with red contrast stitching, 18-inch alloy wheels in black, black exterior mirror housings, and silver-painted brake callipers with AMG lettering.
Mercedes has also introduced a new model line to the C-Class line up - the SE Executive Edition.
It's available in both saloon and estate and includes 17-inch alloy wheels, an automatic parking system, chrome roof rails, a Garmin Map Pilot navigation system, heated front seats and split folding rear seats.
