Overview
- An internal Mercedes communication lists production stops for the AMG C 43, GLC 43 and GLA 35 by February 2026, with the C 63 S E Performance and GLC 63 S E Performance ending in May 2026.
- Dealers were instructed not to accept customer orders scheduled for delivery beyond the specified end dates.
- The AMG GLA 45 S 4MATIC+ is not affected by the phase‑out and remains available.
- UNECE regulation UN‑R51.03, which tightens external vehicle noise limits and testing, takes effect on July 1, 2026 to reduce harmful noise exposure.
- Mercedes‑AMG would not discuss future model plans but promised its most extensive product offensive to date focused on electrified performance, while one outlet reported an AMG spokesman disputing that a noise rule alone would force model cuts.
