MERCEDES BENZE-Klasse Cabriolet (A207) 2009 - 2012

　　The Mercedes-Benz E-Class Cabriolet was introduced in 2009, as the last body version for the E-Class. It was the fourth model in the family, after the sedan, station-wagon, and the coupe.

　　After two generations for the CLK, a model that was based on the C-Class with E-Class styling, the Mercedes-Benz decided to launch a proper E-Class convertible based on a proper E-Class coupe. And the features of the E-Class Cabriolet were among the top in its class.

　　The styling of the E-Class coupe was carried over to the open-top version. The sharp headlights, raked A-pillars and rear shoulders over the fenders were styling elements that were appreciated by the customers. The whole car looked classy, yet modern.

　　Inside, the E-Class Cabriolet featured unique features for its class. Besides the heated seats it had the "Air-scarf" innovation. Warm air was blown on the front-seats occupant's necks so they won't feel the cold air. Another innovation was the Air-cap system. As soon as the rear passengers were placing their seatbelts on, a wind deflector popped out from the top of the windshield and the air was diverted behind the cabin. At the same time, a pop-up wind-deflector appeared behind the rear seats.

　　For the engine compartment, Mercedes-Benz installed various engines, including turbodiesel versions. That was hard to accept by conservative convertible users. But the vehicle was very fuel-efficient and its performance was decent.
