Mercedes C43 AMG 2021 vs 2017 Pre-Facelift Comparison

[@craigdickinson7069]

I think the exhaust note and up shift on pre facelift is much better .

[@matthewmakingmemories]

Those fuel particulate filters do have a habit of spoiling things

[@aaronpoisson]

I was going to make that comment as well. The exhaust notes are more robust due to legislation changes on EU emissions standards in decibels.

Thanks for this I’m buying the 19 now

[@lozzie7239]

So the only exterior thing technically is the rear diffuser / exhaust tips… which are a simple change tbf. I’d still opt for the 2017 on price point for minor changes - and aftermarket alternatives are always an option to make it more aggressive. All in all good comparison though, as I’m in the market to buy a pre facelift

One other thing about the interior, the 2019 Version have LED (Door and central panels) when the 2017 have not..

[@aaronpoisson]

I own a well-equipped ‘17 C43 with Premium Plus Designo and Night Packages. My PFL has a better steering wheel than shown in your video. Mine displays AMG branding on the bottom with alcantara wrapped sides. But I agree 100% the FL steering wheel looks way better and the design language used in the steering wheel controls match the center console dynamic select and volume control buttons perfectly. This is one upgrade I MUST have on my PFL c43.

bonjour petite question les courbe sont elle les même ou celle à partir de 2019 est plus large ? merci

[@xcodstur926]

Would side skirt extensions that fit a 2018 c43 fit a 2020? Please help if you know!

[@josebless5152]

Great mods my guy on the 43, where did you get your grill?

[@matthewmakingmemories]

Thanks. Glad you like it :) The Grill was supplied and fitted by CKS Performance. Was very happy with what they did... www.cksperformance.com/

[@izzyspruill3074]

So not much a difference in speed?

[@matthewmakingmemories]

I’ve never had the luxury of driving them back to back but the difference really is negligible if at all... from memory of driving one to the other, if I did notice anything I was probably imagining it. Those few extra BHPs needed a little complimentary torque boost to make any real difference

[@richyo1000]

The 2017 looks better. I have one and wouldn’t swap it for the facelift. It also sounds much better. Thumbs down from me I’m afraid.

[@Byctvyb]

What about the 2018?

[@questionyourself718]

Thats pre facelift

[@KimoKimochii]

i hate full digital dash 👎

[@pablovalencia82]

Mucho más bonito el original de 2017

[@neilmick6778]

Prefer not to have the shouty exterior, guess if you're trying to impress then the facelift one is better.

[@metalstorm45]

Any grille is better the girly diamond grille. Looks a bit out of place to have something feminine on a sportcar.
