2011 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Cabriolet

HI-RES GALLERY: 2011 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Cabriolet

Mercedes-Benz has made it clear that it wants to raise the design credentials of its cars, even previewing its future design language with a dramatic sculpture at this week’s 2010 Detroit Auto Show, but with cars as stylish as the new 2011 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Cabriolet we wonder why they would want to change anything.

The new 2011 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Cabriolet is the fourth variant of the latest E-Class family after the Sedan, Coupe and high-performance E63 AMG, and to this writer at least it just exudes luxury and presence. From its chiselled surfaces, muscular haunches and exquisite detailing around the lights, the E-Class Cabriolet is arguably one of the best looking vehicles at this year’s show.

Dimensions are the same as the Coupe, measuring in at 185-inches in length, 70.3-inches in width and 55.2-inches in width. The soft-top roof can be opened and closed fully automatically within 20 seconds--even when driving at speeds of up to 25 mph.

First sales are scheduled to start in May. For more information, check out our previous story by clicking here.

    Aren't all the new E-Classes including the cabrio based on the new W212 and not the W204 that the current C-Class uses?

    Yes tisane you are correct all models of the new E-class are based on the new E (W212) architecture. They are making some mighty fine and pretty pieces lately. I wish I had a garage big enough to have one (or two) of each.
