Mercedes-Benz completes the E-Class family with the E-Class Cabriolet

Mercedes-Benz has completed its E-Class family with the new E‑Class Cabriolet. When the soft top is up, the E-Class Cabriolet has a silhouette similar to that of the E-Class Coupe. The close ties between the two models are apparent in their shared design language, with the emphasis on surfaces with clean lines.

A striking front section with a low-positioned diamond radiator grille and centrally-located star, LED high-performance headlamps (or optional high-resolution Multibeam LED headlamps), a drawn-out bonnet with powerdomes and fully retractable side windows underline the dynamic looks of the Cabriolet.

The taillights resemble the glow given off by a jet engine. As a new feature, the taillights also put on a special show for the driver when they approach or leave the car.

A visual entity comprising anodised, polished aluminium (AMG Line in matte aluminium) is created by the trim frame on the A-pillar and front windscreen along with the shoulder line trim strip and a wide trim finish that surrounds the soft-top compartment. The third brake light is integrated into this frame.

At market launch, there is initially a choice of powerful and efficient petrol and diesel engines, including versions with 4MATIC permanent all-wheel drive for the first time. Further engines will be added to the lineup in due course. As standard, all models are equipped with the 9G-TRONIC nine-speed automatic transmission, which allows fast gear shifts and lower engine speeds. This has a particularly beneficial effect on efficiency and noise.
