2017 Mercedes-AMG E43 VS 2002 Mercedes-Benz E430<\/h2>\n

To get more acquainted with the new 2017 Mercedes-AMG E43 and celebrate its introduction, let’s take a step back 15 years to the last time Mercedes-Benz offered the Mercedes-Benz E430. Produced from 1998 to 2002 with the W112 body style, the E430 was actually a star in its day. It was extremely advanced for its time period and for the lucky ones that are still driving one today, it is a member of the family.<\/p>\n

How Did The E-Class Get Its Name?<\/a><\/strong><\/div>\n

Engine Performance<\/h3>\n

In 1998, the E430 was introduced with a 4.3L V8, putting out 275 horsepower. Of course, the Mercedes-AMG E43 does a lot better than this with a 3.0L biturbo V6 and almost 400 horsepower, but the roar of the V8 and the optional manual transmission made the E430 a true driver’s car. Now, the E43 has 9-speeds instead of five (or six) and instead of just having an economy air conditioner, it also has five DYNAMIC SELECT driving modes to further enhance the driving experience.<\/p>\n

Interior<\/h3>\n

One of the only complaints about the E430 of yesteryear was the interior. Drivers said it lacked the luxury that the S-Class, and even the C-Class, had at the time. Even with heated seats, rain-sensing windshield wipers, and a voice-activated cell phone feature, the E430 still did not live up to the standards of luxury drivers. Is it a coincidence then that the E43 has one of the most advanced interiors in the industry? It has 24.6 total inches of LCD display, the world’s first touch-pad steering wheel, and seats you will fall asleep in.
