2016 C450 AMG Review

Car Junkie - New 2016 Mercedez-Benz C450 AMG Sport 4MATIC Review. Expanding the AMG line, Mercedes-Benz is now having another try over an everything-new C450 AMG 4MATIC. Any parts you can make a notice to the AMG's distinctiveness both on its styling as well as performance. Adopting a 3.0L biturbo V6 engine working together with the 4MATIC AWD system and 7-speed automatic, the new AMG presence on the C-Class is demanded to show a respectable sports sedan off.

The 2016 Mercedes-Benz C450 AMG 4MATIC is lent the most recent suspension which has featured the AMG C63. Since this is part of the C groups, the C450 AMG is built based on the C-Class style. While "AMG" is surely to differ from another, interior packaging and the outstanding AMG sport-based seating arrangement. Staring at the exterior style and dimension there are no big changes as the car looks just like the C400 variant, while only the grille slightly differs, and special 18" AMG wheels as well as anyone-can-choose 19" AMG. More specifically, red accented makeup decorating the dashboard, seats, steering wheel and door trim.

All-new 2016 C450 AMG 4MATIC Pricing, Release Date and Review

Driving an AMG, drivers will be served by the innovative Mercedes-Benz Intelligent Drive in favors of security. The engine as we've mentioned above, generates pretty cool 362 horsepower with 384 lb-ft of torque. While the 4-wheel technical driving, distributing 66 percent of power to the rear wheels and the rest to the front, making the C450 AMG capable enough to run in 0-60 sprint no more than 5 seconds (estimated 4.9 seconds). Not too shocking since that engine has been powered other C-Class groups like C400 and C450 versions. The special is offered over its power delivery that's more powerful to run faster, the C450 AMG's rear wheels have 10 percent more energy than the C400.

If you're really ambitious on speed, the AMG C63 is still your best choice. With the C63's V8 you may reach the top speed at about 180 miles per hour, while the smaller V6 from C450 is stuck at no less than 160 mph. But with the 2016 C450 AMG Sport 4MATIC you have more reasons for pricing anyway.
