The test drive Mercedes-Benz introduced in 2015. "C450 AMG 4MATIC" (Taiwan, is the introduction of the end of 2015), which is a ranging AMG C63 and C-Class in the general order of performance cars. Despite its horsepower is very large, but it hit the post from the outset, the name "combines performance and comfort" slogan.

However, the car was listed less than a year, has changed to indicate the original Mercedes AMG Sport Series C450 AMG car belongs will be disabled, and "all equipped with the engine - in this level of power output of cars." being included under the AMG, it becomes AMG C 43 (small change in the future to change the official name). In the end why the Mercedes-Benz C450 AMG started using this name, later changed to AMG C 43 it? Before I try this car, I think this is a Mercedes marketing strategy, so that these non "positive AMG" under the cars, AMG performance can also be stained glory. However, after the test to the car, I know that is something else. Not to dip let C450 AMG glory, but the C450 AMG already have competitive blood.

From the beginning of the power, C450 AMG equipped with the 3.0L twin-turbo V6 petrol engine, the maximum power output of 367hp / 520Nm, and let it be C-Class among the inferior horsepower AMG C 63 / C 63 S (476hp / 510hp ) after the strongest cars than C250 AMG Line (211hp) is also high on the 156hp.

In addition, many of the sport also make it with very hardcore. C450 AMG configuration M manual transmission shift pattern 7G-Tronic Plus seven-speed automatic gearbox, providing Eco, Comfort, Sport, Sport + and other four control modes AMG DYNAMIC SELECT interface, 33: output ratio of around 67 four-wheel drive system, as well as four kinds of control mode in response to changes in the movement of the suspension and the like.

Because sex is hard tone in general urban road, even if you have adjusted to Comfort mode, you still think it's very clear road feel. Granted, with this configuration of the tire is also somewhat related. C450 AMG original standard 18-inch wheels (245/40 front 225/45 rear), and we take this is an optional 19-inch AMG multi-spoke titanium gray style (front 225/40 rear 255 / 35). From 18 inches into 19 inches, which makes the tire sidewall is relatively thinner than the flat also followed lowered. If you use a standard 18-inch wheels can be relatively comfortable.

After we travel at different speeds in urban areas, highways and mountain roads, the three of us agreed that this test is a person unable to slow down the car. On its dynamic and performance, it is definitely a must, its cornering performance and stability (four-wheel drive when it is set to accelerate out of the corners will not slippery), quick acceleration (0-100km / h in just 4.9 seconds), the shift gear than the smooth, linear power output, but also because it is such excellent dynamic performance, it should give way to general daily commuting travel is somewhat reluctantly.

In the side of the car, in addition to the previously mentioned 19-inch optional wheels on the car front and rear wheels, high-performance brake calipers bearing the Mercedes-Benz is also the word (riders and the general extension of this Mercedes-Benz calipers the word has been quite outstanding, but AMG fans, blood, or have a strong enough word AMG only!).

EC brother say: M-Benz AMG C450 4-Matic

The test drive focused on the actual operation of driving experience. C450 equipped with a newly developed -AMG dedicated 3.0 V6 twin-turbo engine. Fengyun engine can output 367 horsepower, on the books of its absolute power output sufficient to meet the challenges from all sides come. After the actual operation of driving, my impression is: this is simply a "sports car trapped in the car's body," although in appearance, it is the most low-key of AMG, but the strength of bones, but it should not be underestimated.

Biao Chi in the Hill, C450 hard-tone chassis settings allow the vehicle at low speed rather uncomfortable ~ d only have to open up the feeling of getting better, so I also used throughout Sport mode, but the suspension is set to Comfort mode. When out of the corners, it's the famously explosive reliable level of multi-piston brakes, spring up quickly digested kinetic energy; in addition, in the four-wheel drive system 4MATIC all blessing, but when people can grasp the opportunity to accelerate earlier out of corners, giving you very strong control confidence. While in power, the C450 with the same plant A45 / CLA 45 horsepower rather, the difference is that each state is no hysteresis and the like before and after the output of the rear wheel transmission ratio of 33:67. This proves that the essence of AMG or larger displacement was tasty.
