C43 new engine for 2024

I have just heard that the modell year 2024 will have a stronger engine with 424HP (310kw). It is still public on the confiuration site. Do you have any guess where the difference is comming from and why?

That’s very interesting. Where are you seeing this, can’t find any references online.

Australian configurator is the same - shows 310kW + 10kW (421hp + 14hp) for the new model. Only a guess, but I'd say it's most likely a tune rather than any part changes. Brings the power output in line with the M139 in the CLA45S.

150k is worse than even Canada. what happened to your currency, it was 1.10 to usd 10 years ago, now it's 0.60 to usd.

Ha, yes the AUD/USD exchange rate is not good at the moment.

Part of the reason for the high price is Aus-spec Benz cars come extremely heavily optioned as base, pretty much the only things you can add to the 150k base model on the C43 is the AMG seats and carbon interior, which pushes price to 160k. Everything else (20" wheels, pano roof, night package, driver assists, digital lights etc.) all come standard. Also note that the 150k drive-away price includes over 35k in taxes - Australia puts brutal taxes on luxury cars (originally there to protect the domestic car market, but even though we no longer manufacture cars domestically and haven't for more than a decade, the taxes remain...)

They probably adjusted it to be slightly more competitive. The car will likely weigh more too with options like the dynamic engine mounts and PRE-SAFE Impulse Side

I don't see any cars, even in Germany, listed at 310 kW at this time.

There are big delays on many models in Germany especially those that use 48v battery. Supplier problems.

That is exactly the same power rating of the current M139 fitted to the A45S since 2019.

The only real difference between that engine and the M139L of the new W206 range is the hybrid turbo.

For what it is worth this was posted on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/AMG/comment...459_hp_555_nm/
Maybe the 2024 model year does get a power bump but it might be understated on the 2023.
