It was nearly a year ago when Mercedes unveiled the C43 and now the AMG Lite version of the latest C-Class finally has a price tag in the United States. Math starts at $59,900 for the Premium trim level while stepping up to the Pinnacle with extra standard equipment will raise the asking price to $62,700. Both prices exclude the $1,150 destination and delivery charge. The sports sedan with F1-derived technology can be found at dealers in the US.
While the C43 is offered exclusively with 4Matic, archrival BMW sells the M340i in both rear- and all-wheel-drive configurations. The former retails for $56,400 while the latter with xDrive begins at $58,400, thus making it $1,500 more attainable than the AMG C43. As for the Audi S4, which is a Quattro-only affair, the Four Rings are charging $52,800. We should also mention the $46,595 CT4-V and the $60,995 CT4-V Blackwing.
