The sedan and estate now make 23hp more and get subtle styling tweaks.

The 2018 C 43 4Matic sedan and estate now make more power from its turbocharged 3.0-litre V6 petrol engine. The car makes an extra 23hp, taking power up to 390hp, while torque remains at 519Nm. Both cars official 0-100kph times remain the same as their predecessors, at 4.7sec and 4.8sec, respectively.

The cars get a series of subtle exterior styling tweaks, including a new twin-blade grille, a more heavily structured front bumper with a tweaked air duct design, a rear deck spoiler, a reworked rear bumper with a larger diffuser and there are new-look twin round chromed tailpipes as well.

You can also get an optional AMG styling package which comes with a splitter element within the front bumper, wider sills underneath the doors and an altered rear bumper. The interior has been updated to be in line with the current C-Class and it gets a new digital instrument cluster and 12.3-inch COMAND infotainment display.
