Mr AMG on the New C43! Power, Tech, Style and More AMG!!

- The Facelift C43 coupé has had a BIG upgrade! And we’ve finally gotten around to test it! This follows on from our C63S facelift review a few weeks ago, now let’s see how the entry level sibling has improved.
So following our original review, the walk around at the IAA Frankfurt, it’s now time to revisit the changes made to the now popular entry level AMG. We’ll go over design changes, and the performance improvements too, but first let’s remind ourselves what the C43 series is: It’s not a C63S lite, and it’s not trying to be. This is a 4matic all wheel drive, and that means you need to start thinking of it more closer to the current A45 experience.
Of course now we also have the similarly positioned 53 series with the E, Four door GT and CLS, following this formula of a robot made 6 pot turbo engine attached to 4matic. All Accessible Entry level AMGs!
What has the Facelift brought? Which bod style is the best, coupe, cabriolet, wagon / estate or saloon / sedan? How does it compare to a C63, and more importantly to the pre-facelift? In this review we explore all this and more:
- Exterior Design
- Design - compared to Old C43, C63S and C43 Wagon and many more
- Interior Design - compared to old C43
- Exhaust sound, start up and revs
- Performance Driving
- The Sound factor
- Comfort Daily Driving
- Conclusion

Did I go overboard with the magic (vfx)?? Thumbs up this comment if I did. 😂
Hope you enjoyed that! Like the facelift? Or looking forward more to E53?
Great video - I think the vfx made the comparisons much easier to visualize! I'll be getting my C43 within the next two weeks and was super glad to hear this one being more comfortable as that was my main concern when speccing the 19" rims. Do you know if the tires you had previously were Continentals? Those are standard in the U.S. I believe and I've always heard switching to another made a big difference. Thanks again for the awesome video!
I'm not a fan of them using the amg style front grille on this car. it's almost like they're trying to demote the pre facelift 63s as being the same as this 43. it isn't. not even close.
I'm not a fan of how they can't update their infotainment system software once you buy the car and how it can't be replaced easily for a cost.
back to that front grille , I think it's a bit cheeky personally and generally dilutive of the amg brand . if they really wanted to call this pile of mediocre sports car junk an amg they should have put AWD and a v8 in it and run it at 470 or 510 hp. fact is , it's not a true AMG, it is just tuned by AMG. why pretend it is anything different. Why take something magical , like the AMG brand and milk it like it's a cow. almost as bad is the body kits on regular cars that are “AMG line“. charge a big massive premium and rip off your customers.
I see loads of uber drivers sticking an amg badge on the trunk of their E220Ds and in my mind , that's just as valid an AMG as the 43 in its current guise is. why buy the real thing when you can buy something inferior at a big discount and still wear the badge
Perfect magic levels!
Really enjoying your reviews. You’re doing things that others aren’t. It’s refreshing, and very entertaining.
Thank you!
Raz would you go with an upgraded 2019 c43 or a 2017 C63s? I'm in 2 minds. I'm a Brit living in Vancouver, its wet and the roads are average. I want to have one more combustion engine car, before going electric in 3-4 years time. I had the W204 63 wagon and loved it. I'm looking at either the C43 Wagon or a 18 month old C63s. As always I appreciate you input.
Stuart Lloyd-Jones 2017 C63 alllllllll the way!!! Don’t look back!
At one point I completely lost track which car is real and which is just an effect. I then started to question whether the car that he’s reviewing is there at all...
I also started questioning my existence thx to this video
Hahahaha 😂 This is the reaction I want
Santa Close lmao
I took my forever spin out for a while
I thought I was the only strange one
Brilliant review. Love the switch between other models gives you a much better comparison than other reviews. Thank you
Thank you!! Will build upon this :)
100% agree - comparisons are really helpful! Thanks for all your hard work bossman 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Not a fan of swapping the cars I only want to see the car I clicked on
mick carter | Aww boohoo. Plenty of other videos will serve your narrow interest then.
I LOVE the overlaying - it really makes a difference when the review is about FACELIFT. In short, you wanna see what’s changed!
@@RemoveBeforeRace Can u give a tutorial how to edit multiple cars comparison at once, please ?
Picked mine up yesterday and guess what? Bumped into Mr. AMG at the showroom ✌🏾💪🏾😀
nice
This video is two years old and yet it feels like it's coming from the future. Amazing editing!! Truly loved this review!!
Thank you, I'm completely convinced about the C43 now
If you want a complete handing car, the C43 is superior to the C63. Now that I've driven both (and chose the C43 Cabriolet), there's no way I'd want another AMG without 4matic. It's too much capability compared to the C63. There is no substitute for 4matic.
i agree, I had the last gen c63 and recently picked up a 2018 c43 amg 4matics for a bargain as my daily.
i previously owned a c63 amg 2016 and it’s too easy to get it to fish tail. Then I traded in for a 2018 F82 M4 and the same applies. high power cars with RWD is not for the faint hearted that’s for sure.
Now the c63 amg has 4matics, i am keen to pick up once they are on the used market.
i thought i love the c63, but man the c43 is just soo perfect.
I think it Ould fit me best too. Wow! its a amazing, man.
Pick my new C43 AMG Coupe tomorrow...whoop whoop.👍👍😁😁
Finally a guy who really talks cars ....he gives information to one who is expecting to get an expert opinion...this guy is class... Thank you ...john
Raz, you are my favourite reviewer right now. You are the right mix of an experienced petrolhead and a mature + intelligent man. I'm lucky to get to drive most of the new AMGs (and some like you drive daily) and I have to say you are spot on in details that matter from an owner's perspective.
I'm eager to know how will you find the new GT Four Door 63S! Thanks and I wish you more subscribers, you deserve at least 1million more.
Jan Starcevic can’t wait to see the GT63 S review, it’s going to be great!
Thank you so much Jan! I'll try harder each time sir.
Excellent review!! Extremely thorough and fair minded. Very happy with my current C43 saloon and am looking forward to this version when the time comes. Keep the great videos coming!!
This is the best page I have ever been on. So professional, so detailed, and beyond informative.All that C43 needs is the wide body kit that the C63 had and I would purchase that.
I usually never watch review vids in its entirety... but I did with yours and it was a fantastic review! I love the magic too. Gives you a clear look at differences. You got a new sub!
This is the best, most entertaining car review I've ever seen. And I watch Doug de Muro and dozens of others. You do things differently and it's so refreshing. Big kudos to you 😎👌
I have been waiting for this video for too long! FINALLY!!!
What a fantastic precise and enjoyable car review to watch. Very detailed and professionally delivered. All too often people try and review cars and fail and I switch off quite quickly. I was glued to this till the end! Well done and thanks.
Genuinely really did enjoy this review. Your review on cars are by far the best. Keep it up !
Most competent reviewer on TH-cam. Yet still gets fascinated by ambient lights 😂 love it!
By far the best you tube car reviews - you present brilliantly - really love the way you compare previous models too. Your product knowledge and research are top draw.
what kept you !?! been waiting for ages on this review!. This makes my 2017 c43 look dated . luv the new back end awesome !
Another great review !
Amazing review.
I love the seamless comparisons you do.
wow the sound is much better now with the bass note in it. great job merc
Thanks for the very detailed (and the RIGHT amount of details, the details that actually matter and that actually answer questions that people would have) review of this car, you've made my decision very very easy. Thanks a lot. You have a new subscriber. Cheers mate!
Driving on Angeles Crest, which has tighter turns, I found the C63 the less agile car. The C43 felt more balanced...and the 4matic is a win coming out of corners. It might take a better driver to really get the C63 to perform, but I can stay with virtually any car short of a supercar at the Crest. I ended up with the 2019 C43 cabriolet and it's quite a lot of fun.
Seriously impressed with the quality of this review! Is a world away from the norm and that is a good thing!
Wowwww you’ve killed it with the VFX in this vid Raz 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
This is my first video I've seen from you before and I liked and subbed. Your channel is so underrated.
One of the best reviews so far
Hey man, really good video! I rarely comment but you're really too good of a reviewer! Subscribed.
Great review as always my friend. Finally a proper rear diffuser/quad tip setup on this car (my main complaint with my current C43) - 18 months in and still not tired of the Performance Exhaust. No car should be built without it. Love the VFX by the way!
Thanks man! Yes totally agree
First time seen a video of you. Love the style and the animations ❤️
Great review!!! Editing is on point!!
Put a C63s front grill on it. Some spacers on the wheels and this would look crazy
Buy a C63...
@@jomo0581 costs more and even then the insurance on a C63 vs a C43 is stupid (for the quotes I got anyway)
I got the 2020 c63s grill and now my c43 looks beautiful but very aggressive and I love it
Those are very high quality visual effects. Kudos!
Absolutely fantastic video editing!
The comparison video effects work was A+++! Definitely great to see the before and after face lift!
I looked all over the web for a great comprehensive review of the C43 and I definitely found it here! Amazing review! Thank you for such a detailed and well presented review! This video was enough to get me to subscribe. (and got me to go test drive a new C43)
You make amazing reviews! Keep it up and I wish you as many AMGs as you want ;)
Positively surprised! Very informative! Something different finally, subscribed :)
Great review full of useful info. Can’t wait to get the C43 estate I ordered in January!
Christmas came early this year with this video. I haven't even watched it yet (waiting to watch beyond 360p) but I've already smashed the likes.
Love the comparison models. Brilliant!!
Fantastic, fantastic editing.
Thank you, picked up this 2019 model the other day mainly due to you.
How is it so far. Any picks on social media?
Great editing. Keep it up! :)
This is an amazing review. It answers all the questions that customers have. AMG C43 Facelift. It is amazing in terms of presentation and helping the prospective buyer understand the car, what it is and what it aims to be. The target has been reached by Mercedes-Benz, so congratulations. The People at AMG understand very much what their customers want. AF
You deserve millions of subscribers! Nice review keep it up!
Super review Raz! As an AMG enthusiast i am looking foreward to the E53 review.
Very informative review. Well done 👍
Great review, thanks! Really like this car.
Thank you for this video. This was really helpful when I was buying my C43 and look where we are now!
This vid has made my mind up getting a c43 face lift was going to get a 2017 before the EU ruined the fun of a good exhaust but it still sounded great to me would love to see a face lift vs a old 43 just to see the sound difference all the best mate
Still a sleeper, yet less sleeper like! Love it!
C43 is good value
Perfect review for me as I'm getting my 2019 AMG C43 in December :) Not many good reviews on this, and you did (as always) a very nice job again getting in to cool details that I didn't know! Not only will my new car be my first AMG, but it will also be my first ever Mercedes! Have not test driven it and haven't even seen it live, so I can't wait getting it few days before Christmas :)
you'll luv it mate - very jealous of the rear diffuser . wished i had waited for the face lift but still luv my 2017 version ! very versatile care
Brilliant review - I love the model switch and appreciate the effort you are putting in - awesome - keep up the great work
i really enjoyed the digital swapping between versions, keep it up
This is probably the coolest review video with the VFX I've seen. Only thing I would recommend is having the name and model year of the cars when you show them on the screen. I know you say them, but it is easy to get confused with all the different comparisons.
The single best review of these cars I have seen. Like MILES better. thanks for doing.
The transition is so smooth
Excellent ability to relay experience, cheers from Seattle..
Your review videos are brilliant man 👏🏻 way ahead of Carwow and Carbuyer with your attention to detail. Right up there with the more established and experienced programmes / channels too. Keep up the great work 👌🏻
love these SFX in the video, nicely done :claps:
U killing it ,keep up the good work.....
Idea) try incorporating prices,Mpg to your reviews,them small details will improve its essence ,cheers..
P.S. love the magic effect,please do keep it.
Brilliant review - despite the steering wheel is on the wrong side! "Duality", spot on term and what I'm looking for in my next car and consider the C43.
Love my 2023 Coupe. Last of the V6 Biturbos! Thanks for a great vid.
Nice review. Thanks
Great Review as always. Had been looking forward to this one. Best review out bar none.
Best review so far
Great review!
I’ve been looking at Audi s5 didn’t even give this a look until this vid , wow it’s stunning, ….great review
Good review and definitely making me consider a C43 Wagon over an S4 Avant..... the engine note is epic and like you said in this review it performs a dual role effortlessly. Can’t wait to try one
Dreamcar!! In this color scheme it is just so good looking
Great review as always. You don't need to speed up the external moving shots though, it just looks weird when you put a speed ramp in and it's super obvious that its sped up.
great video , loved you in the big bang theory .
great review!
Thank you for the well detailed review. I love the silver mat carbon fiber; struggling to find one with the silver carbon fiber center-console.
Amazing production quality 🫡
Nice review man. 💯 Please review the AMG E53 Coupe.
Best c43 review on TH-cam in my opinion
Great review RBR, massive fan of your shows and content. I agree with your points on the 43's and in fact, I didn't like the 43's and even 53's before hehe. Although, can you review the 400's and 450's (C, E, etc.)? Would like to know your opinions on those variants. Thanks heaps and keep up the good job!
PERFECTION!!!
how do you not have more subs....thumbs up to you sir!
great review
As owner of previous gen C43 Coupe for a year, I still like the sleeper look especially with the Night Package. I agree that the upgrade is excellent but still love the way the car transforms at flick of a switch and the exhaust pops and bangs always put a smile on your face. Interesting that the performance is the same, more weight?
Agree, facelift c43 takes all the fun out. There’s no reason to mod facelift but with sleeper look you can change the parts you don’t like
First one of your reviews that I have watched. I really enjoyed the clever editing, switching between different models. But I especially like the more measured delivery, as opposed to the over-exuberant shouting most others seem to favour.
ha that switch is sick....nice work
I got so confused after hitting the fast forward button a few times.
Nice review
What a beauty!
Good work👍🏻
There it is!
Tobias Henreich 360p club 😂
great video, your reviews i felt are really useful and informative. Just wanted to get your opinion, i currently own the pre facelift cla45. Am looking at the new C43 as a possible change. The other option, being the next Gla 45. i know they are quite different propositions and the gla is still some time away. Do you think it will be worth the wait ? or that this one is worth the while ?
im getting a 2020 c43 soon and i cannot wait after watching your review, woulda got a c63 as its definitely a better car but i needed a daily driver
GREAT GRAPHICS!
fantastic content
I love the lighting that surrounds the dash, I personally thought that was only available on the S class.
Love your videos, I'm new to your channel. Just a option quick thought - you may lessen some of the background noise by using a Tascam DR-10L. Keep up these videos!!!!!
Vivid Visual Thank you for that, will definitely look into this device 😀
Good review. Is the left leg rest still tiny as previously?
great vid!
