2024 Mercedes-Benz AMG C-Class: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for 2024 is the U.S. debut of the C 63 S E PERFORMANCE, a new maximum-performance sedan with a high-output turbocharged powertrain. The C 43 receives only a small equipment update, so this is not a redesign of the full AMG C-Class line.
About the 2024 Mercedes-Benz AMG C-Class
W206 C-Class generation; second U.S. model year for the W206 AMG C 43 and first U.S. model year for the AMG C 63 S E PERFORMANCE.
Mercedes-AMG positions the AMG C-Class as a compact luxury sport sedan shaped by racing technology. Both versions combine a hand-built turbocharged four-cylinder engine, fast-shifting transmission, AWD, adaptive suspension and rear steering with a digital, well-equipped cabin. The range targets drivers who need four doors and everyday comfort but want sharper responses and much stronger performance than a regular C-Class.
The C 43 is the more approachable everyday performance sedan, with rear-biased AWD, adaptive suspension, rear steering and an 11.9-inch touchscreen. The C 63 S E PERFORMANCE is the more aggressive model, pairing fully variable AWD and Race and Drift modes with stronger composite brakes and Burmester 3D surround-sound audio.
What changed, by category
Powertrain
The C 63 S E PERFORMANCE joins the U.S. lineup with a high-output 2.0-liter turbocharged powertrain, a nine-speed transmission and fully variable AWD. It replaces the previous C 63 S AMG in the range.
Tech
Built-in wireless phone charging becomes standard in the C 43 and is also standard in the new C 63 S E PERFORMANCE.

2024 Mercedes-Benz AMG C-Class
(22 reviews)
“It's nice, but be aware of potential issues with the charging port. I've had the vehicle for less than 30 days and it's spent significant time in shop for repairs - I'm actually still in a loaner right now.”
“Most versatile/balanced AMG vehicle I've owned. Comfortable, quiet and handles extremely well. Fit and finish probably the best of any Mercedes I've owned.”
