Caralogy Verdict

Suitable for

Demanding drivers: 4th of 22 in Top speed (265 km/h). 4th of 22 in Top speed (265 km/h).

Less suitable for

Frequent urban trips with stop-and-go. At 9,1 L/100 km on the combined cycle, consumption rises in the city without electric assistance. An HEV or PHEV would be more economical for this use profile.

Alternatives to consider

If the priority is 0–100 km/h, the BMW M4 Competition M xDrive (1st with 3.5 s) takes the lead. If the priority is Top speed, the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio (1st with 307 km/h) takes the lead.

Acceleration: 4.6 s 0-100 (15th of 22 in 0–100 km/h)

In pure acceleration, the AMG C 43 4MATIC ranks 15th of 22 in 0–100 km/h, 1.1 s off the reference BMW M4 Competition M xDrive (3.5 s).

Top speed: 265 km/h (4th of 22 in Top speed)

Top speed of 265 km/h. The segment reference reaches 307 km/h.

Where does the AMG C 43 4MATIC rank in its segment?

Among the 22 saloons 2021–2025, the AMG C 43 4MATIC ranks 15th of 22 in 0–100 km/h (4.6 s, behind the BMW M4 Competition M xDrive), 4th of 22 in Top speed (265 km/h, behind the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio), 14th of 22 in Power-to-weight (224 hp/t, behind the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio).

How much does the AMG C 43 4MATIC cost to run?

Running costs depend on your profile (mileage, charging type, city/highway mix). Use the Caralogy consumption simulator for a personalised estimate.

Why not a BMW M4 Competition M xDrive instead?

The BMW M4 Competition M xDrive leads in 0–100 km/h (3.5 s vs 4.6 s). The choice depends on your priorities: check the AMG C 43 4MATIC vs BMW M4 Competition M xDrive duel for a detailed comparison.

How does Caralogy calculate its figures?

Caralogy does not reproduce manufacturer figures: we recalculate every number through physics simulation, starting from SCx, mass and the power curve. This is why our figures at 130 km/h differ from WLTP. Full methodology on the dedicated page.
