Mercedes-Benz completes its E‑class family with the new cabriolet full-sized four-seater with a classic fabric soft top.
The fourth and youngest member has grown in length (4.82 metres), width (1.86m), height (1.42m) and wheelbase, which improves the driving dynamics and benefits rear passengers especially.
Powerful engines and comfortable suspension systems ensure a sporty and luxurious driving experience. For the first time, the cabriolet is also available with 4MATIC all-wheel drive on selected models.
All models are equipped with the Aircap electric draught-stop system and the Airscarf neck-level heating system – to enhance comfort when driving with the roof down.
“It is a car that lets people enjoy comfort and luxury in the open air,” Daimler AG board of management member with responsibility for Mercedes-Benz Cars marketing and sales Britta Seeger says.
It has a striking front section with a low-positioned diamond radiator grille and centrally located star, a drawn-out bonnet with powerdomes and fully retractable side windows.
An automatic acoustic soft top comes as standard, so occupants can easily hear each other talk – even at speed. It can be fully opened and closed in 20 seconds when travelling at up to 50kmh. Boot capacity is 385 litres (310 litres when the roof is open).
All-new 50:50 folding rear seat backrests create a through-loading feature.
Interior styling is clear and clean with high-quality materials.
Two high-resolution 12.3-inch displays merge beneath a shared glass cover to create a widescreen. The driver can choose from classic, sport and progressive styles for the virtual instruments.
The body shell is light and safe, the cabriolet meeting all current national and international crash requirements and the more stringent internal Mercedes-Benz safety standards.
The roll-over protection system has been developed specifically for the cabriolet.
Arriving later this year, the cabriolet range will be represented by the E 300 (manufacturer’s recommended retail price $133,500) and E 400 4MATIC (MRRP $159,500) models.
Customers should contact dealers for drive away price information.
