Mercedes-Benz has rounded off its range of cabriolets with the first cabriolet based on its C-Class, infusing a modern luxury design and a youthful touch.
With its top up, the profile of the new two-door cabriolet resembles that of the C-Class Coupé with virtually identical basic dimensions: The striking front end featuring a diamond radiator grille, LED High Performance headlamps, long bonnet and high belt line.
The tightly stretched soft top with glass window transitions harmoniously into the distinctly styled rear end, which has a highly sporty look with its wide shoulders and flat LED tail lights.
With a capacity of 360 litres, the boot is capable of holding an exceptional amount of luggage for a cabriolet, thus offering high everyday practicality. With the top down, the carriage size still packs in 287 litres.
Along the sides, an elongated dropping line extending over the rear wheel arch lends an emphasis typical of Mercedes-Benz design.
The fully automatic classic cabriolet fabric soft top comes in black or an optional multi-layer acoustic soft top in dark brown, dark blue, dark red or black.
Based on the S-Class Cabriolet, the soft top also meets high quality standards in terms of durability and function: It significantly reduces the wind/driving noise, with improved speech intelligibility, including at high speeds, and better insulation from disruptive ambient noise.
The fabric soft top can be opened and closed in less than 20 seconds up to a speed of 50 km/h.
On the inside, the leather is available in a total of five optional colour shades, and are heat-reflecting. The curved switch in the centre console for opening and closing the fully automatic cabriolet soft top, is finished in in matt silver chrome.
Based on the Coupé, the sport seats feature an integral look with muscular side bolsters and organically integrated head restraints as well as optional AIRSCARF neck-level heating. Included as standard are automatic belt extenders to assist the occupants with buckling up.
Efficient, powerful engines delivering between 156 to 367 hp and a suspension designed for dynamics (15 millimetres lower in comparison with the Saloon) ensure sportily agile handling.
The new 9G-TRONIC automatic transmission is available for all engine variants.
"Sporty and youthful in character and styling, it offers unadulterated open-air driving pleasure all year round," says Prof. Dr Thomas Weber, Member of the Board of Management of Daimler AG and responsible for Group Research and Mercedes-Benz Cars Development.
