Mercedes has finally completed the C-Class line up in India with the launch of the 2019 Mercedes-AMG C43 Coupe at Rs.75 lakh, (ex-showroom, India). We always knew it was coming as Mercedes had confirmed the new C43 Coupe for our market last year when the 2018 C-Class was launched. Coupes have always been enticing to look at and the Mercedes-AMG C43 Coupe maintains its demeanour rather aesthetically. It's the best looking C of the range with a fancy looking AMG GT inspired rear and a tapering roofline which neatly falls onto the boot and is further complemented with 19-inch multi-spoke alloy wheels which fit just right.

The Mercedes-AMG C43 Coupe gets the same AMG radiator grille with twin louver finished in matte iridium silver and rides on 19-inch multi-spoke alloy wheels.

The face is identical to the regular Mercedes-AMG C 43 sports sedan. It gets the same AMG radiator grille with twin louver finished in matte iridium silver, running the length. Even the bumper profile is similar sporting a broad air-dam with tall C-shaped curtains on either side and it gets the high-vision LED headlamps as standard. Buyers can also spend more and opt for the latest AMG styling package to put on a front splitter, broad side skirts and a bulgier rear diffuser and make it look a bit more dramatic.

The upholstery is draped in Artico handmade leather or Dinamica microfibre finished in black with contrast dual-stitching on the AMG performance seats along with the upholstery. The layout of the cabin is almost similar to the C-Class in the front while the rear, of course, has confined space and the seats are smaller as well.

Moreover, it gets a heads-up display, a 10.5-inch centre mounted infotainment display with and wide 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster with three display styles- Classic, Sport and Supersport.
