The updated guide above is now showing 2k for dynamic package.

I ordered mine on April 29th and as of June 1st, there was no set build date.

Spoke with a dealer - still no 2024 pricing as others have mentioned but they will do MSRP. A small change I noticed with the guide Eaton posted vs. the guide the dealer gave me today is that the Pinnacle Trim does not include 'Heat & Noise-Insulating Acoustic Glass.' Again, this is a minor point but still something to note.

not to my surprise, because $700 was a steal.

Looks like another parts supply issue. My dealer just shared my final build for 8/8 and Ambient Lightning not current available - D9C Credit for 894 Enhanced Ambient Lighting -$215

That sucks

Went to my dealer today keen to submit my order for a C43 in Starling Blue with the power red on black interior as you were able to in the 2023 configurator only to have it show as not available in their ordering interface. We then looked through the guide we have here and can see that it's not possible to get Starling with the tan or the red interior for 2024. Why???? I saw one of the electrics in twilight blue and it just doesn't do it for me.

Two questions. Based on the guide, it seems like you can actually order a Patagonia red with the red interior but not tan?

Bigger question that I'd really appreciate any help with is with the rear side impact airbags. I swear, unless I've truly lost it, as recently as last night on the configurator for 2023 models the rear side airbags were an option for $700. The option disappeared today but when you go digging through the site and look at the specs and go to safety you see that it appears they're standard now. On the 2024 guide the dealer had, in the "whats new" section we saw that rear impact airbags were now standard (curtains were always standard, these are the rear thorax bags). Does anyone know if this in indeed the case and the rear thorax bags are now a standard item? You can see below it seems that the site now shows them being standard.





Yet weirdly when you see this list of features it says 7 standard air bags although the next line then lists rear side impact separately. Safe to assume this is a recent update and someone forgot to to change the number or more neatly convey this information? Have to chuckle at them being shown as "standard" and then described right below those words as optionally available.

The additional rear side airbags were in fact standard for the 2023 model year, in fact I just saw a pre production C43 listed for sale and the window sticker says D9E Credit for missing standard Rear Side Airbags -$700. The order guide must have had this mistake for the 2023 year, it's not actually a change for the 2024.

What is missing again standard vs enhanced?

That is also a question I wanted to ask, I don't understand why can't we configure the cars to our heart's content. Sure the combination isn't for everyone but for those who want a power red and a blue exterior, they should be given an option. Unless they expect people to lease the vehicle and they want to be able to easily sell it when lease ends?

Thank you.

Thank you, that's very helpful.

Thanks for posting this!

All other things being equal...
2024 is missing the "894 Enhanced Ambient Lighting" (D9C credit) and also cannot add 581 4-zone climate control for likely Oct/Nov delivery.

2023 has 581 4-zone climate control and Enhanced Ambient Lighting but missing "Standard 871 Hands-Free Access" (D9B credit) for possible July delivery.

Having waited this long already, leaning towards waiting for a 2024...

I wouldn’t worry about the 4 zone climate. There are obviously still vents back there, you just can’t select the temp. The 4 zone also reduces center console storage by a pretty margin. I wouldn’t hold out on Hands Free access being available in 2024 as it has not once been available yet. The normal ambient lighting is still decently impressive however you are stuck with those not-as-pleasing black plastic vents, but you can replace them with the metal ones for like a hundred or a couple hundred bucks in the aftermarket.

Any updates to the ordering guide since then? Thanks.

I'm confused. Went to dealer and cars without the ambient enhanced have the same vents as the cars with it? They just don't light up. But they look identical otherwise.

It is such a negligible difference but they are different



vs



The second ring is gloss black vs aluminum. I, personally, never noticed this until it was said and I typically have a really good eye for things like that.

Ah yes. And also the little thing in middle that moves it seems solid silver in upgraded version.

Finally got a build date for mine. Currently slated for mid-October, but keeping my fingers crossed it gets pulled in a bit.

Congrats

Anyone know when the production of MY24 starts? Also, is there any updates to the ordering guide?

Production started about a week or two ago

I have ordered mine last weekend with my dealer (8/12/23).
Dealer had allocation for 11/14/23 build date one and I reserved one with my build.

Did you guys order yours?
If so, please share your build date.

I thought all AMG were built in factory in Germany, but my dealer said C43 will assembly in South Africa factory.
Also, my dealer not saying any deleting options yet.

Ordered mid-July got a build date of 10/18/2023
