2025 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C 43 AMG

The 2025 C-Class is Mercedes-Benz's compact luxury sedan, slotting below the E-Class with a focus on style and tech. It competes with the BMW 3 Series, Audi A4, and Genesis G70 in the entry-luxury segment. The C-Class delivers a refined ride with composed handling, though the sportier AMG versions ride firmly. Inside, the cabin features a large central touchscreen, high-quality materials, and comfortable seating for four. The C 43 AMG splits the difference between the C 300 and the wild C 63 S E Performance, giving you AMG tuning without the plug-in hybrid complexity. Its handcrafted 2.0L I4 makes 416 horsepower and pairs with a nine-speed automatic and all-wheel drive, and you'll see 22 mpg combined in mixed driving. The AMG Performance steering wheel and sport seats with red contrast stitching are standard here, so the cabin feels more aggressive than a C 300's.
