Mercedes-Benz E-Class Cabriolet - “4 seasons, 4 people”

Mercedes-Benz has been one of the stars of the NAIAS in Detroit where its E-Class 2+2 cabriolet has celebrated the world premiere. E class cabrio is a “year-round” soft top model from the “core business” family of sedans, coupes and estates. This has also been a world first display of the AIRCAP® wind deflector, which considerably reduces air turbulence when the top is down.

“The new E-Class Cabriolet offers unique driving pleasure for four people and I am certain that it will further strengthen our successful E-Class family, plus deliver even more emotional momentum to the brand,” said Dr. Dieter Zetsche, Chairman of the Board of Management of Daimler AG and Head of Mercedes-Benz Cars at the Mercedes-Benz press conference.

With the new Cabriolet on board, Mercedes-Benz has completed the E-Class family. Thanks to its classic soft top, it delivers the true cabriolet feeling. Its motto “four seasons, four people” is backed by AIRCAP® automatic wind deflector that can be deployed at the touch of a button to significantly reduce turbulence in the vehicle’s interior.

It also dispenses with the assembly required for conventional wind deflectors and leaves the side profile of the Cabriolet undisturbed. Equipment on board also includes the next generation of the AIRSCARF® neck-level heating system integrated into the back rests of the front seats. It blows warm air from adjustable air vents in the head restraints and warms the neck area of the driver and front seat passenger like an invisible scarf.

The production standard sound-dampening soft top comes with extremely high-quality insulation to deliver comfortable travel with the top up. Thus, the closed E-Class Cabriolet offers one of the quietest interiors in the segment of four-seater premium soft-top cabriolets. The top can be open or closed at the touch of a button in only 20 seconds – even while driving at speeds of up to 25 mph (40 km/h).

Like all E-Class models, the Cabriolet also offers an outstanding level of safety. Standard equipment includes the ATTENTION ASSIST drowsiness detection system, PRE-SAFE® predictive occupant protection, the intelligent light system and the DISTRONIC PLUS adaptive cruise control.
