  & Handling
   
  • 3.5L Direct Injection V-6 engine
    

    3.5L Direct Injection V-6 engine

    A new-generation 302-hp 3.5-liter V-6 combines numerous advances to deliver more torque over a wider range of rpm. Its rapid-multispark ignition fires up to four times per millisecond, while high-pressure Direct Injection microscopically tunes the fuel spray, reducing emissions, fuel consumption and noise. A lightweight diecast-alloy block, quicker and more widely variable valve timing, reduced friction, and clever "on-demand" ancillary components like the alternator further boost efficiency.

  • 7-speed automatic transmission
    

    7-speed automatic transmission

    The industry's first 7-speed automatic has been made even smoother, more responsive and more efficient. A wide range of closely spaced gear ratios delivers the ideal response in virtually every driving situation, for relaxed cruising, quick acceleration, and thanks to two overdrive ratios, better highway fuel efficiency. Adaptive logic monitors your driving style and adjusts its shift points to match, while Touch Shift control and standard paddle shifters offer manual-style shifting enjoyment anytime you want it.

  • AGILITY CONTROL suspension
    

    AGILITY CONTROL suspension

    Engineered specifically for performance driving, AGILITY CONTROL automatically adjusts the individual shock absorbers based on the road surface and the driver's current driving style. Valving inside each shock absorber automatically firms up during stronger body motions for sharper handling feedback and stability, and reduces the damping rates during gentler motions for a smoother, more composed ride.

  • Electronic Stability Program (ESP®)
    

    Electronic Stability Program (ESP®)

    This safety breakthrough first introduced by Mercedes-Benz continually monitors your driving inputs and the vehicle's motion to help keep it going in your intended direction, especially in corners and during evasive maneuvers. If it detects wheelspin, severe understeer (plowing), or oversteer (fishtailing), ESP can brake individual wheels and reduce engine power to help bring the vehicle under control. Disclaimer

    disclaimer1-4

    No system, regardless of how advanced, can overcome the laws of physics or correct careless driving. Please always wear your seat belt. Performance is limited by available traction, which snow, ice and other conditions can affect. Always drive carefully, consistent with conditions. Best performance in snow is obtained with winter tires.
  • Adaptive braking technology
    

    Adaptive braking technology

    Powerful 4-wheel disc brakes feature a number of advances. If you lift off the accelerator quickly, Predictive Brake Priming sets the pads closer to the discs for more immediate response when you apply the brakes. In the rain, Automatic Brake Drying periodically applies the brakes just enough to sweep water build-up from the discs. During uphill starts, Hill-Start Assist helps prevent unwanted rollback. And a HOLD feature can make long red lights or stopped traffic a little easier. Disclaimer

    disclaimer1-5

    Braking effectiveness also depends on proper brake maintenance, and tire and road conditions.
  • Paddle shifters
    

    Paddle shifters

    A pair of paddles strategically positioned behind the upper steering-wheel spokes allows you to manually upshift and downshift the 7-speed automatic transmission with just a flick of your fingers.

  • Efficient components
    

    Efficient components

    In addition to fuel pumps regulated for more efficient operation, engines in every E-Class model now call on their alternators and power steering pumps only as needed, which means they sip less gasoline whenever they're not fueling your exuberance.

   
• Design
   
  • All-season sound-dampening soft top
    

    All-season sound-dampening soft top

    With its three layers totalling nearly an inch of thickness, the E-Class Cabriolet soft top is meticulously crafted for long-lasting beauty and a remarkably quiet cabin. At the touch of a button, it disappears from sight but leaves more usable trunk and cabin space than competitors' folding hardtops. Four stylish colors are available.

  • 4-place seating
    

    4-place seating

    The E350 Cabriolet continues a long Mercedes-Benz tradition of open-air motoring, with individually contoured seating for four full-size passengers. Front and rear seats are each divided by an armrest and console.

  • LED Daytime Running Lamps
    

    LED Daytime Running Lamps

    Bright white LED Daytime Running Lamps help increase the visibility of your vehicle to oncoming traffic by illuminating front lights whenever the car is switched on. With long life and low energy consumption, the light-emitting diode (LED) lamps also add a distinctive high-tech styling touch.

  • LED taillamps
    

    LED taillamps

    Not only brighter than traditional incandescent bulbs, LED technology also delivers quicker illumination of the brake lamps. By offering drivers behind you more time to react, their stopping distance may be reduced by several feet, which could make a critical difference in a panic stop.

  • 18-inch 5-spoke wheels
    

    18-inch 5-spoke wheels

    Standard 18-inch alloy wheels feature five tapered spokes and a luminous silver finish. Staggered in width, the rear wheels and tires are wider than the fronts, for greater acceleration grip without sacrificing crisp steering feedback. Disclaimer

    disclaimer2-5

    Lower aspect ratio tires and accompanying wheels provide substantially increased treadwear, increased tire noise and reduced ride comfort. Serious wheel and tire damage may occur if the vehicle is operated on rough or damaged road surfaces or upon encountering road debris or obstacles. These tires are not designed for use on snow and ice. Winter tires mounted on appropriately sized and approved wheels are recommended for driving in those conditions.
  • 3-spoke multifunction steering wheel
    

    3-spoke multifunction steering wheel

    For fingertip access to some of the vehicle functions you use most often, convenient buttons on the steering wheel let you control the audio volume and selection, send and end calls on your Bluetooth-enabled phone, and scroll through the features of the multifunction display in the instrument cluster. For maximum driving pleasure, the steering wheel features a grippy Premium leather-wrapped rim with raised thumbgrips at the ideal "10 and 2 o'clock" positions.

  • Burl Walnut wood trim

    9-way air bag protection

    An advanced system of 9 air bags offers enhanced occupant protection. Pelvic air bags complement the front-seat side-impact air bags. A driver's knee air bag augments dual-stage front air bags. And side curtain air bags are provided for the front seats, something you won't find in many other Cabriolets. Rear side-impact air bags are optional. Disclaimer

    disclaimer3-1

    WARNING: THE FORCES OF A DEPLOYING AIR BAG CAN CAUSE SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURIES TO A CHILD UNDER AGE 13. THE SAFEST SEATING POSITION FOR YOUR CHILD IS IN THE REAR SEAT, BELTED INTO AN APPROPRIATE, PROPERLY INSTALLED CHILD SEAT, OR CORRECTLY WEARING A SEAT BELT IF TOO LARGE FOR A CHILD SEAT. SEE OPERATOR´S MANUAL FOR ADDITIONAL WARNINGS AND INFORMATION ON AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS AND CHILD SEATS.
  • Pop-up roll bars
    

    Pop-up roll bars

    Integrated within each rear head restraint, pop-up roll bars deploy within 0.3 seconds of detecting an impending rollover, to help preserve occupant space. The roll bars can also be raised electrically by the occupants. Disclaimer

    disclaimer3-2

    The roll bar system is designed to enhance the level of rollover protection compared to a vehicle without one. No system, regardless of how advanced, can eliminate the chance of injury in an accident. Please always wear your seat belt.
  • ATTENTION ASSIST
    

    ATTENTION ASSIST

    The first system of its kind, ATTENTION ASSIST continuously monitors different parameters of driving behavior, and can automatically alert the driver with both visual and audible warnings if it detects signs of drowsiness on long trips. Disclaimer

    disclaimer3-3

    Driving while drowsy or distracted is dangerous and must be avoided. ATTENTION ASSIST may be insufficient to alert a fatigued or distracted driver of lane drift and cannot be relied on to avoid an accident or serious injury.
  • PRE-SAFE

    PRE-SAFE

    A Mercedes-Benz first, PRE-SAFE can detect instability during certain vehicle maneuvers that suggest a collision or rollover is imminent. It can then tighten the front seat belts, adjust the front passenger seat, and close the front windows, all in an effort to better prepare the occupants and restraints in the moments before a collision. If no accident occurs, the seat-belt tensioners reverse, and you simply readjust your seat, open the windows and continue on your way. Disclaimer

    disclaimer3-4

    PRE-SAFE closes the front side windows when the system's sensors detect side movements that suggest a possible rollover. A small gap is left near the fully closed position.
  • Adaptive braking technology
    

    Adaptive braking technology

    Adaptive braking technology integrates a suite of advances. If you lift off the accelerator quickly, Predictive Brake Priming sets the pads closer to the discs for more immediate response when you apply the brakes.

  • NECK-PRO front head restraints
    

    NECK-PRO front head restraints

    In the case of a rear impact exceeding a preset threshold, NECK-PRO front head restraints move forward and slightly upward, reducing the distance between the head restraints and the heads of front-seat occupants. This action helps to reduce the possibility or severity of whiplash-type neck injuries.

  • Seat belt technology

    Seat belt technology

    Arguably our most important passive safety feature, all four 3-point seat belts are equipped with Emergency Tensioning Devices (ETDs) and belt force limiters. If a collision exceeds a preset threshold, ETDs instantly remove slack from the seat belts. Belt force limiters allow a slight amount of give in the seat belts, to reduce the peak seat-belt forces on the occupant. Front-seat presenters automatically extend when the door is closed, to make it easier for front-seat occupants to fasten their belts.

  • Body structure
    

    Body structure

    The E-Class Cabriolet is elaborately engineered to provide the strength and crashworthiness expected of a Mercedes-Benz, even without a fixed steel roof. High-strength/low-alloy (HSLA) steel provides greater resistance to bending and flexing than conventional steel of similar weight. HSLA and ultra-high-strength steel are used in critical areas of the body structure, including reinforced a windshield frame, floor crossmembers, door beams and various reinforcements throughout the body.

  • Advanced Tire Pressure Monitoring System
    

    Advanced Tire Pressure Monitoring System

    The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) can automatically detect a substantial loss of tire pressure in any wheel and alert the driver via a warning message in the multifunction display. The advanced TPMS can also display the numeric tire pressure for each mounted wheel.

  • Antilock Braking System (ABS)
    

    Antilock Braking System (ABS)

    Enjoy the strong, controlled stopping power of dual-circuit power-assisted 4-wheel disc brakes, backed by an Antilock Braking System (ABS). ABS senses impending wheel lockup under heavy braking and pumps the front brakes individually or the rear brakes together. This intelligent system can pump the brakes as needed up to 30 times per second, to prevent lockup and preserve the driver's steering ability. Disclaimer

    disclaimer3-13

    Braking effectiveness also depends on proper brake maintenance, and tire and road conditions.
  • Brake Assist
    

    Brake Assist

    Brake Assist senses emergency braking via the speed at which the driver presses the brake pedal and immediately applies maximum available power boost. Brake Assist can potentially reduce the overall stopping distance by eliminating the delay caused by a common human tendency not to brake hard enough, soon enough. Letting up on the brake pedal releases Brake Assist. Disclaimer

    disclaimer3-14

    Braking effectiveness also depends on proper brake maintenance, and tire and road conditions.
