The C43 Wagon 4Matic T-Model was made by Mercedes-AMG for them. All needed station wagons for their families but still wanted to have fun behind the wheel. Some still liked their coupes, sedans, and hatchbacks.
The C43 Wagon T-Model shows that not all station wagons are created equal. With more than 400 horsepower, technology from Formula 1, and a trunk big enough for two strollers, it could give the driver fun and give a family of four plenty of space for their stuff.
What’s Different in the 2023 Model?
The 2023 model year brings a whole new look to the C43. There will soon be an even more powerful C63 model, and we know that it will also have a version of the high-strung 2.0-liter turbo-four engine.
The C43 Wagon was built on the same platform as the rest of the C-Class W206. However, its front end looked different after getting a good haircut at AMG’s beauty salon. It had a Panamericana grille and an aggressive-looking apron with air intakes on the sides and another grille in the middle to keep the engine and other parts cool. The carmaker also put a set of Turbo-electrified badges on the front fenders to show off their improved looks.
At the back of the T-Model (station waggon), there was an electric tailboard with a spoiler. The four exhaust pipes under the back bumper were a sign of how fast the car would go.
Costs of C43 Wagon and Which One to Buy
If you choose the right trim and options, the 2023 Mercedes-AMG C43 can cost anywhere from $61,050 to $70,300.
The inside of the C43 T-Model was wrapped in ARTICO man-made leather, just like the inside of its sedan sibling. The front seats were buckets. It also offered the same dual-screen dashboard, one in front of the driver as an instrument panel and a second touchscreen unit atop the centre stack for the MBUX infotainment system. The biggest difference was in the back, where the split-folding bench extended the trunk area from 490 litres (17.3 cu-ft) up to 1,510 litres (53.3 cu-ft).
Under the hood, the 2.0-liter powerplant brought over from the A-class but mounted longitudinally offered 408 PS (402 hp). Its electric turbocharger technology was built for Formula 1 cars but made its way onto production vehicles as well. The oomph was sent in all corners via a nine-speed automatic gearbox.
