The newly amped-up Mercedes C43 begins AMG’s transition to electrified four-cylinder power. Our review reveals all...

The electric motor can build boost when there isn’t enough exhaust flowing to help reduce lag and in the car’s more aggressive dynamic modes keeps the turbine spinning in a high-tech form of anti-lag.

Engine response is linear throughout the broad power band, although our test car didn’t seem quite capable of reaching the marked 7000rpm redline. Even with manual gear selection, the limiter arrived barely after the 6750rpm where peak power comes. Higher speeds and bigger loadings made it feel suppler, handling lumps and bumps with impressive poise, with even the firmest Sport Plus mode not too harsh for road use.

Traction is huge and grip is tenacious, with no shortage of adhesion at either end – even when we were tackling twisting French mountain roads in wet conditions.Although very willing to turn and hold a line, thanks in part to the reduced mass of the new engine, carrying too much speed into the slowest and tightest of corners does provoke the front tyres into surrendering first, the C43 transitioning into gentle understeer.

Many functions are duplicated between the wheel-mounted controls and the screen, while others must be dug out of sub-menus. The C43 does get an AMG button as a shortcut to the dynamic functions, at least.
