Mercedes has been on a high for quite some time with great results in terms of sales and innovation.
The company has been able to succeed in the market due to their ability to come out with new models regularly.
With Audi and BMW already fighting to win the race for the most dominating luxury car maker, Mercedes Benz has put its strongest foot forward with Mercedes Benz E-Class Cabriolet.
Mercedes Benz E-Class Cabriolet is a beautifully designed convertible that succeeds in delivering a complete package of comfort and style.
Appearance
Mercedes Benz E-Class Cabriolet is certainly a head turner as most convertibles are although we have seen better rear end that what we see for this beauty.
The boot is a bit awkward shape that keeps this vehicle from being a perfect 10. The vehicle features a single headlamp on each side that are sleek and elegant in shape while the flanks are a lot more stylish and muscular.
The removable cloth soft top is used as the roof for Mercedes Benz E-Class Cabriolet. Packing and unpacking the cabin could be a daunting task but nevertheless, overall appearance is magnificent.
Interiors
Inside the cabin, as expected, Mercedes Benz E-Class Cabriolet is as plush and delicately built as any luxury car we have seen from Mercedes.
The inside of the car has been designed for A-lister's with a lot of attention given to details including new touch ups to the three spoke steering wheel.
Mercedes has been generous as far as usage of premium material is concerned with copious amounts of wood and chrome trim being used for the most part. The clock and the central console system are also innovatively designed with intuitive responses.
Engine
Mercedes Benz E-Class Cabriolet is provided in two models by the name of E400 and E550 where the former runs on a direct injected 3 litre V6 turbocharged engine that is able to garner 329 horsepower along with 354 lb-ft torque.
Mercedes Benz E-Class Cabriolet E550 on the other hand runs on a 4.7 litre V8 twin-turbocharged engine which in return delivers 402 horsepower and 443 lb-ft torque.
Mileage
Mercedes Benz E-Class Cabriolet E400 is tipped to provide a city mileage of 20mpg whereas for highways the vehicle delivers a fuel economy as high as 29mpg. Mercedes Benz E-Class Cabriolet E550 on the other hand delivers 17mpg for cities while the number stretches up to 26mph on highways.
Price
Mercedes Benz E-Class Cabriolet should be priced around competitively.
In the same price range the vehicle would find its competitors in Porsche Boxster, Lexus IS C and Mazda MX-5.
Speaking of Indian market, it would cross-swords with Audi A5, BMW 4-Series and Lexus IS C.
There are other luxury cars that are a slightly more expensive including BMW 6 Series and Jaguar XK.
Safety
Mercedes Benz E-Class Cabriolet has headbags that would improve safety enduring side impacts.
The windscreen has been beefed up while central pillars also add to the rigidity of the entire structure.
Further, there is roll over protection and another interesting feature called driver drowsiness detection that checks whether the driver behind the wheels is attentive or not.
There is an intelligent drive system as well that makes use of a camera placed behind the windscreen allowing drivers to view road almost 50 meters ahead.
