New models - Mercedes-Benz - C-Class - C 43 4MATIC Edition R+Mercedes-AMG C 43 4Matic Edition R+ arrivesLimited edition C 43 4Matic Edition R+ joins Mercedes-AMG stable from $121,200 + ORC4 May 2026 By MATT BROGAN MERCEDES-AMG has priced its C 43 4Matic Edition R+ for the Australian market, the limited edition variant available from $121,000 plus on-road costs – or $2600 less than the variant on which it is based.
Introducing the AMG Styling Package for the first time on the C 43, featuring high-gloss black aerodynamic elements, the variant retains the AMG Dynamic Plus Package offered currently, alongside what Mercedes-AMG says are a range of distinctive visual enhancements, and the model’s core performance credentials.
Other stylistic elements include the darkened details of the Night Package and Night Package II, blackened 20-inch AMG 10 twin-spoke alloy wheels, red brake callipers, AMG Performance seats upholstered in artificial leather and featuring AMG lettering and integrated heating, and an AMG Performance steering wheel in Nappa leather.
Carried over from the derivative Mercedes-AMG C 43 is the AMG Dynamic Plus Package and AMG Track Pace bundle, AMG dynamic engine mounts, selectable Race driving program, AMG Ride Control suspension with adaptive damping and rear axle steering.
The model’s turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine with mild-hybrid assistance deploys 310kW and 500Nm to all four wheels via a nine-speed automatic transmission.
Many of the Edition R+’s other features are shared with the donor model, including the MBUX multimedia system with native sat nav, an 11.9-inch central touchscreen, a head-up display, a panoramic sliding sunroof, and a Burmester 3D surround-sound audio package.
While Mercedes-Benz Australia has not indicated how many examples of the C 43 4Matic Edition R+ will be made available, it has said the variant will be “offered in Australia in limited numbers only”.
