I find it so strange that Mercedes didn't put more effort into the exhaust note. 4 cylinder engines can sound good if effort is put in. In my opinion, it'll never beat the V6 of the previous generation but they can at least try to make it sound the best they could. My only guess is that they're saving the better sound for the c63 since they both share the same engine..

Yes! 100%! I also think they will leave the 'good' sound to the C63 since both share the same engine. Let’s see how the 63 will sounds like 😅 Will take some videos pretty soon, what would you like to see?

Interesting. The interior looks so nice and modern but I’m surprised how much quieter it is to the CLA45s. I expected them to sound similar. I can’t help but wonder if they purposely made this quieter to make the new C63 feel louder.
@@mr.benz Thats what everyone said when the A35 released. In the end the A35 has a way louder and better sound than the A45. Dont expect anything else for that C63 and C43
@@xTheR4ven bro the CLA45 is a true hand built AMG engine. It definitely has to sound better. A35 is a factory engine and below the the less aggressive and faster 45
Agree that the exterior’s a 10/10, interior’s a 15/10. The sound…? Sounds like a really good blender. Reminds me of a comment that Jason Cammisa made of the Giulia Quadrifoglio’s engine note: “Sounds like 2 drunk 3 cylinders having an argument.”
I THINK the same sound is reproduced because of the new electric turbo. It permits the car to holds it's RPM at a higher level and maintain those RPM levels as you are taking a sharp turn, etc. Hence the same constant delivered noise from the exhaust because the electric turbocharger is constantly being able to hold and or maintain that rev limiter.
When will you guys understand that you can switch it to white, dim it or fully shut it down when you don’t like it? I love the ambient light & it’s essential for me to feel comfortable inside the interior 😅 It’s all up to you & your personal references
How many years does Mercedes guarantee the screens or lighting won't burn out? Will it last 5-6 years? Will there be replacement parts available in 7-9+ years?
@@vaheeeezy But then they are passing all the issues to the 2nd, 3rd owners. That's why these are getting more expensive every year. If I buy a car I want to own it and have it last.
It's probably always the same sound because of the electric turbo charger. In the past I would just say this is fake noise but because the turbo charger is constantly spooling might create that super consistent crackle. IDK
It's sounds good, thats my opinion. It's not the most important thing the sound of a car. Important are the inside, the engine, driving comfort and the quality of all them.
I have a C43 with the AMG performance exhaust that I daily and I love it. I really like the interior of the new C43 and was hoping that maybe they can do something about the sounds in the new generation with just 4 cylinders. So far, it seems like the performance is a tiny bit better than the one I have but the sound is just not there. I do really like the new interior though, even though I have the digital dash in mine so it doesn't look old or anything. I've heard the CLA45 and that actually sounds pretty good. I'm not sure why the new C43 sounds like this. I'm still contemplating. I need to hear it in person when I test drive one.
I too have a 2019 C43 with performance exhaust. But…my next car will be an M340i x drive. The B58 is just so much better and so is the ZF 8 speed transmission. Forget fancy lights and digital display! Plus M340i x drive is thousands less.
also hört er sich nicht so wie AMG A45? Weil der hört sich schon sehr gut an und auch das Schiessen in dem Auspuff kann er gut. Wie kommst du drauf, dass der Racestart fake ist?
Just picked up a 2020 C43 as a daily driver. Why? The sound. It won’t be long before every car sounds like a vacuum cleaner or worse a night in solitary confinement. Gotta get it while the gettin’ is good.
It's just a compromise we will have to accept as AMG fans. The new C43 is an improvement in every way possible, except the sound. I genuinely don't mind the speaker sound since it's live capture from the exhaust. Unlike BMW's pre-recording nonsense in the i8. I don't think there's anything Merc can do with 1L less displacement and missing 2 cylinders. Although if I'm completely honest, it really doesn't sound "that" bad for a turbo 4 pot. The new Civic Type R tho, now that's what I'd call awful.
Fully agree. The tinny exhaust note from Elantra N is NOT what I want in a 4 banger. The 4 cylinder in the CLA and a45 sounds AWESOME to me personally, so I’m excited asf that I might be able to afford a c43 coming later next year.
@@LemtemPoktui also, can’t we have some aftermarket solutions to make it sound better? I know it’s not for everyone but I know 2.0 can sound really good too
Don’t get me wrong, the new C43 AMG sounds amazing but if you ever had the chance to drive the old C43 with the AMG exhaust, this will totally disappoint you 😅
Look, the GT4 RS is the best example of how you can still build an unbelievably good sounding car today. I know, it is not a gt4rs but, could they have done more if they would care? And here I must say, yes! How on earth is someone going to buy this car as an AMG?
Really nice interior and exterior... But the V8 will be missed... I think Mercedes has just missed a one life time opportunity to make the best C class and car of its segment of all time.
Bro, the 4MATICs are pretty cool, but I personally work for Mercedes as a mechanic, and it is extremely difficult to repair. Not impossible, but difficult.

Come on guys....help me choose pleaseeeeeeeeeee
If you’re worried about the Interior, can’t go wrong w the C43. It’s gorgeous. I’m a BMW guy but regardless what u get it’s not like you’re compromising much. Both cars are beautiful from the outside. M340 is a better platform for speed if that’s what u want. But the C43 is not slow. The C43 interior is obviously the more beautiful interior but the M340 is a luxury car so the interior isn’t bad. All i need is some interior lighting and a fast beautiful car. M340 All the way for me but I dont think you could go wrong either way. I got a 335 rn but I’m saving for an M2 Competition soon!
It’s a shame they dropped the amazing sounding V6. However, the car is improved in every way: dynamically, exterior and interior, and tech-wise. Tbh, it doesn’t sound THAT bad. Will this have an AMG Performance Exhaust option?
Actually the interior is very tacky, no one likes the iPad cluster and the glare it brings. The ambient lighting is stupid and placing the iPad center console is also very Tesla like. Pretty dumb imo.
Lights, colors, massive screens but what it matters on an AMG, the engine, it's gone. Clearly this is just for the new generations, that does not care about cars.....
My old 2017 CLA 45 sounded better… it could be the regulations or something. Im not sure. Now I have a new GLE 63 S Coupe V8… I can’t listen to any other Mercedes’ right now.
A sports car is a visceral experience for all the senses. Car companies have a lot of work to do as they switch to these hybrid and electric drivetrains in the future because these current models don’t do it with the sound.
nice interior but the C63s would be my choice, even a low mileage second hand one. It's the sound track that puts me off on the c43. An AMG without the roar, pop and crackle of a V8 isn't an AMG
Does this car equipped with a sound simulator? Sounds louder than a 4 cylinder engine. I typed this comment in the middle of your video, looks like yes. It does have.
It's as if cars are designed by 12 year olds now. Look at that interior, just look at it. Old Mercedes designers are turning in their graves or putting themselves there if they're still alive. And the fact all these so called "car reviewers" rave about it just shows how little taste they have.

Spot on review….you are so right about the exhaust sound!!!
i have an order placed do i cancel
If sound is all you want then you should cancel and buy a used 2019 C63s for the same amount of money.
Who cares that much about the sound? Driving experience way more important and i think its gets better as time continues
I wouldn’t cancel it, the C43 looks amazing, the infotainment is the best you can get in that class & is a perfect daily driver 😅
That's definitely not disappointing. It's a 4 cylinder! Sounds awesome 👌. Great review as always
