Mercedes-AMG C 43 4Matic now more affordable with a price drop of over VND 300 million
According to the latest information from Mercedes-Benz Vietnam (MBV), the listed price of the AMG C 43 4Matic model has been adjusted to VND 2.599 billion, a reduction of VND 361 million from its launch price of VND 2.96 billion.
Dealership sales consultants shared that this new price has been effective since August 1, 2024, for Mercedes-AMG C 43 vehicles produced in 2023.
With this new price, the gap between the Mercedes-AMG C 43 4Matic and the Mercedes-Benz C 300 AMG is now approximately VND 711 million. The C 300 is an AMG-styled version, while the C 43 AMG is a purebred AMG model with distinct differences in its engine, suspension, technology, interior, and exterior design. The Mercedes-AMG C 43 4Matic is the second most premium model in the C-Class range, only surpassed by the C 63 S.
The Mercedes-AMG C 43 4Matic boasts an enhanced exterior with the AMG-signature Panamericana grille. At the rear, you’ll find four symmetrically positioned exhaust pipes surrounded by a black bumper. It also features a sleek spoiler, 20-inch multi-spoke alloy wheels, and red brake calipers.
The interior of the C 43 AMG is similar to the standard C-Class, but with added sporty touches from AMG. The most noticeable features are the flat-bottomed sports steering wheel and the AMG Dynamic Select drive mode controller. The MBUX infotainment system displays exclusive AMG animations and data, such as speed and steering angle, and the dashboard is accented with carbon fiber.
The Mercedes-AMG C 43 4Matic is powered by the M139l engine, a 2.0L 4-cylinder engine, aided by 48V hybrid technology and an integrated starter generator that temporarily boosts the system’s power by 14 hp. It delivers a maximum output of 402 hp and 500 Nm of torque. The car is equipped with a 9-speed automatic transmission and a 4Matic all-wheel-drive system.
The vehicle features a “Race Start” mode designed to optimize acceleration from a standstill, along with Sport, Sport+, Comfort, and Individual modes. The AMG Ride Control sports suspension and rear-axle steering contribute to a dynamic driving experience.
Mercedes-AMG A 35 4Matic price reduction of over VND 180 million
In addition to the C 43, sales consultants have shared that two other AMG models have received price adjustments effective from August 1, 2024. Firstly, the Mercedes-AMG A 35 4Matic is now priced at VND 1.818 billion, a reduction of approximately VND 182 million from its previous price of VND 2 billion.
The A 35 4Matic is the most accessible “purebred” AMG model in the Vietnamese market as of now. It is also the highest trim level offered for the A-Class sedan, as the A 45 is exclusively available for the hatchback variant by the German automaker.
The sporty A 35 stands out from the standard A-Class models with its AMG grille, 19-inch 5-twin-spoke alloy wheels, large brake calipers, leather and suede interior, sports seats, and shortcut buttons on both sides of the steering wheel, allowing the driver to quickly adjust engine, transmission, suspension, and drive mode settings without taking their hands off the wheel.
Positioned as an “entry-level” model, the Mercedes-AMG A 35 4MATIC does not feature the renowned “One Man, One Engine” principle of AMG. Nonetheless, its 2.0L turbocharged engine producing 306 hp and 400 Nm of torque is sure to excite any driving enthusiast. Power is delivered through a 7-speed automatic transmission and a 4MATIC all-wheel-drive system, enabling a 0-100 km/h sprint in just 4.8 seconds, with an electronically limited top speed of 250 km/h.
Mercedes-AMG GLE 53 4MATIC+ Coupe now nearly VND 500 million more affordable
Lastly, the Mercedes-AMG GLE 53 4MATIC+ Coupe has received a price reduction of nearly VND 490 million, with a new price of VND 4.699 billion.
Compared to the standard GLE, the GLE 53 Coupe stands out with its bolder exterior, featuring the AMG-signature vertical-bar grille, 21-inch 5-twin-spoke AMG alloy wheels, and a rear bumper with four round exhaust pipes. The steering wheel is also equipped with a rotary knob and shortcut buttons for quick adjustments to the engine, transmission, suspension, and drive mode settings.
The Mercedes-AMG GLE 53 4MATIC+ is equipped with a 3.0L EQ Boost engine, similar to its sibling, the GT 53. Both models also share the AMG Ride Control sports suspension, which can be adjusted for a more dynamic driving experience, and the vehicle’s ride height can be lowered by 5 mm depending on driving conditions.
