2023 Mercedes-AMG C43 Sedan Interior and Cargo

At the time of writing, the C43 is only available with the MB-Tex man-made leather and Microfiber upholstery materials with red contrast stitching. For an even sportier feel, you can opt for the AMG Carbon Fiber and Performance Seating packages, Other than this, there isn't much you can add to create a more distinctive look, unlike the main C300 range which has three upholstery options.

The C43 offers a trunk volume of 12.6 cubic feet, but this can be expanded into the rear bench via the 40/20/40-split folding rear seats. The trunk lid opens fairly wide, so getting items in and out of the compartment is a fairly easy task. The C43 sedan offers a fair amount of storage compartments, most of which are not in clear view because they have been hidden behind panels to create a cleaner look. A storage bin can be found beneath the armrest. Just ahead of this is a compartment with two removable cupholders. The usual glove compartment is located in front of the passenger. At the rear, you get a fold-down armrest with two cupholders. There are also storage bins located in each door with space for small drinking bottles.

When it comes to comfort and convenience features, the AMG C43 is quite the generous offering. Luxuries such as heated front seats, Parktronic with active parking assist, a surround view system with Guard 360 security, and keyless go are all included at no cost. The new-generation AMG performance steering wheel with digital displays and Alcantara touches at the sides are included as standard as well. Optional extras include a multitude of visual and comfort packages together with ventilation for the front seats, heating for the steering wheel, the advanced USB package, and four-zone climate control. The Pinnacle Trim will include an array of technological features such as the Burmester 3D surround sound system.

The highlight of the C43's cabin has to be its 11.9-inch vertical touchscreen infotainment system powered by MBUX. This is used to control most functions such as climate control, audio, Dynamic Select, and some settings. It also acts as a customizable display for certain performance readings. The standard sound system features six speakers, but when you upgrade to the Burmester system, this is increased to 15 speakers. If you want to enjoy a full array of performance analytics, the AMG Performance Studio package will suit your liking as it provides in-depth figures relating to acceleration, braking, and more. If you want to take this to the next level, you can opt for the AMG Track Pace package which is essentially an in-car race engineer that can provide real-time coaching to improve your track times. The aforementioned Burmester package is bundled in the Pinnacle Trim which also adds navigation, augmented video, music streaming, a head-up display, wireless charging, and enhanced ambient lighting.
