Mercedes-AMG C 43 4MATIC Edition R+ gets AMG styling package
The Mercedes-AMG C 43 4MATIC Edition R+ brings the AMG Styling Package to the model for the first time. It adds high-gloss black aerodynamic elements that give the sedan a sharper and more assertive look.
At the front, the updated AMG apron includes a black splitter and flics around the air inlets. At the rear, a larger spoiler lip and a redesigned diffuser enhance the car’s visual presence. The rear styling also draws cues from the Mercedes-AMG C 63 S E PERFORMANCE, linking it more closely to AMG’s flagship C-Class.
These elements combine with the Night Package and Night Package II, creating a darker exterior theme that is likely to appeal to Australian buyers looking for a more distinctive performance sedan.

Performance unchanged, but still strong
The Mercedes-AMG C 43 4MATIC Edition R+ continues with the same powertrain as the standard model. It uses a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine with an electric exhaust gas turbocharger and a 48-volt system, producing 310 kW and 500 Nm.
Power is delivered through a nine-speed AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT transmission and the 4MATIC all-wheel-drive system.
The AMG DYNAMIC PLUS Package remains standard, adding dynamic engine mounts and a ‘RACE’ mode alongside Sport and Sport+. AMG TRACK PACE is also included, allowing drivers to record and analyse performance data, useful for track day users in Australia.
