2019 Mercedes-AMG C43 Estate

Mercedes-AMG may have a reputation for pumping out fire-breathing Germanic hot rods, but not every potential buyer craves such ostentation. This is where models from its ‘tier two’ family come to the fore. We’ve got the newly upgraded Mercedes-AMG C43, tested in its most practical wagon derivative, priced at $110,400 before on-road costs. It's a performance wagon that's designed to be simple to live with, comparatively speaking.
