MERCEDES BENZS-Class Cabriolet (A217) 2017 - Present

　　Even though the German automaker introduced the open-top version of the S-Class, the A217, on the market in late 2015, in 2017, it already brought the facelifted version for it.

　　That happened because the rest of the S-Class range, including the coupe, went through an upgrade, and the convertible couldn't be left aside. So, even if the car didn't look outdated at all, its modifications made the customers happier.

　　On the outside, the 2017 model-year received a new, floating grille that gave the impression of a stellar race. Something like a warp-speed emphasized by the 3D dotted pattern that stood behind the three-pointed star badge and its wings. In addition, the bumper received an A-shaped lower grille, similar to those usually offered on AMG models. Moreover, the headlights were also improved and sported crystals inside that offered a more luxurious flair to this land yacht. At the back, the taillights featured standard OLED lighting.

　　The interior featured a slightly different dashboard design, with the upper side sloped instead of abruptly dropped after the center display, which was installed above the center stack. The infotainment and instrument panel screens were 12.3" in size and protected by the same piece of glass. In addition, the steering wheel was new and featured a wider gap inside the lower spoke than on the 2016 model-year vehicle. Like its predecessor, the 2017 model-year offered the possibility to open or cover the cabin at speeds of up to 60 kph (37 mph), and the entire process took just 20 seconds.

　　Under the hood, the automaker installed a 4.0-liter V8 mill that replaced the older 4.7-liter unit. Yet, it provided more power than its predecessor.
