I decided to start this thread.

Does anyone know when the C43 SEDAN is coming out?

My lease is up in December. When should I order the car to receive it by December?

If the car arrives after my lease end date, will I be able to drive my old lease till the time of the arrival?

What are the differences btwn the C450 and C43? (I heard the 9G)

Please feel free to discuss anything C43 related here, as I would love to learn more about the car and its features.

Thank you.

EDIT: Wait I think they have a thread for the C43???

Badges! Trunk lid, front fenders, brakes, door stills, grill...

I wonder if the larger turbos from the e43 will fit on the c43 coupe.

Looking at C450's...really like the car.

Is it correct that there is no Apple Car Play available? Any idea if the c43 will have this on release?

C43 as far as I got a "feeling" is ordering should be opened in late July for Oct delivery. Information will come in late July or early Aug depends on C450 stock left at dealers. C43 coupe is already confirmed for Oct delivery by MB Canada, so I'm guessing that will be the same time frame C43 Sedan will show up.

Since it's a new thread, let's get all the rumours and confirmation in the same thread.

Rumors (% it will happen, IMHO):
- 9G tronics, improved 0-60 and downshift speed (60%)
- Bigger brakes (a la C43 Coupe) (40%)
- 31/69 AWD distribution (50%)
- CarPlay (80%)
- Larger turbo (a la E43) (10%)

Confirmed:
- Badging

Where are the CarPlay rumors? From what I've heard the C Class isn't getting CarPlay until 2018 MY when it will also get the E Class style dual screens.

Don't think theres a bigger turbo based on this article: http://www.automobilemag.com/news/20...hp-v-6-engine/

sliqdaddy91

most likely same engine, with the 9G tranny

dieseldoc

+1 should be similar to tranny and engine for GLC43.

The C43 Coupe has the same brakes as the C450. So either 0% of a change or 100% chance of the brakes being the same since they already are, depending upon how you want to look at it.

So the c43 will have air suspension?

Gungaslow

I'm pretty sure they ment 3 stage dampers not air suspension.. I think they messed up

European blogs are showing ordering availability in MID APRIL for C43 sedan - we should know pretty soon.

Since your questions are all about the sedan maybe you should change the title of this thread.

i guess admin would have to do it.

TBH, I really do not like the redesigned 3-point MB star on the grill. I like the current ones that you can actually grab instead of the smooth surface.

Waylon Zeng

You mean models with the drivers assistance package?

tmoneyC450amg

Oh is that what it is? lol..I didnt know thats the drivers assistance package..Glad I didn't get it then

"the new E43 AMG adopts the sport division’s 3.0-liter bi-turbocharged V6 found in a number of models, ranging from the new C43 AMG to the AMG GLE 450 Coupe (soon to be renamed AMG GLE 43 Coupe)"

Ok so the c43 is getting the E43 turbos?


EDIT: NVM, http://www.automobilemag.com/news/20...hp-v-6-engine/

autopal

The engines are all the same. The E43 gets a larger turbo, hence a little more power

Is there anything different about the engine in the C43 as compared to the C450, except for the transmission? What is this "NANOSLIDE cylinder wall technology"?

hans007

the nanoslide coating is on all the M276 dela30 engines. so including the C400 had it

tmoneyC450amg

When you order the C43 you better get the perf exhaust option because I hear the standard sport exhaust is quiet and lacks the pops and crackles of the C450 even.
