Friends,

Mercedes Benz has planned to launch the E400 cabriolet to rival the recently launched Audi A3 Cabriolet in early 2015.

Mercedes Benz To Launch E400 Cabriolet: Early 2015.

Wow, they need an E class cabrio to roval the A3?! Sounds ridiculous to me. In india there arent any buyers for cabrios and only some states like Karanataka have the right climate to own a cabrio. Imagine a guy coming out of his cabrio in delhi all hot and sweaty well it isnt a good feeling. If im not wrong then the Audi a3 cabrio is around 45 l so we can easily agree that the E class cabrio which is nearly two segments above the A3 will cost around 55 l plus. They should concentrate on making their current models better and especially the ones which will sell in India. Anyways a cabrio is irrelevant to most of northern india and most of southern india. Either its too cold or too hot and the cabrio cant survive in any of those conditions.

CLJ, Every car has own buyer base no matter how few. Buying a particular car is a matter of choice and available resources dear. May be it is irrelevant on papers but do you know, A3 Cabrio, that had been launched recently, Only 8 vehicles shall be coming to India. In front of my eyes, at the launch itself, one gentleman booked an A3 Cabrio.

Weather has nothing to do with owning a Cabrio, common sense says, if it rains or its too hot, pull on the roof and switch on AC.

Cabrio's are the most relevant one for India because we can increase its headroom by opening up the roof [lol] and as well as we can enjoy the power of the engine. So cabrio's are the most important than a sports car.

And cabrio's are more comfortable because if a person wants to go to his job quickly then instead of opening the door with the remote lock or keyless entry he can just hop into the cabrio and save that time.

More then anything else, Mercedes Benz is just expanding the body styles available on the E Class. You already have the Sedan Version, E63 AMG (Sport Version), and you'll now see the Cabrio version. And after some months you'll see a Coupe Version. There is another version which we Indians hate i.e Estate Version and i think Mercedes might not even think about bringing that one here.
This isn't a new thing though because Mercedes had done same thing when they had launched the E Class back in 2009 and followed it with launches of all other Body Styles except the estate version.

Friends,

The E400 Cabriolet is planned to be launched by Mercedes Benz on 25th March 2015. Nice to see one more outstanding cabriolet joining the league.

The Cabriolet is that of the E-Class and will most likely be the E400. The E-Class cabriolet has two doors and a electric soft top that can be opened or closed at speeds under 40kmph.

Re: Mercedes Benz To Launch E400 Cabriolet [Launched on 25th March 2015]

Friends,

Attaching official Press Details of E-400 Cabrio by Mercedes Benz​

The new E-Class Cabriolet
Driving Performance

The new E-Class Cabriolet is moved by a V6 turbocharged petrol engine with an impressive 245 kW (333 hp) power output and maximum torque of 480 Nm between 1600 – 4000 rpm. The car races from 0 to 100 in a mere 5.3 seconds and reaches a top speed of 250 km/h.

The powerful motor coupled with a 7-speed automatic transmission combines a high level of comfort with driving pleasure and efficiency to reduce fuel consumptions and emissions. It impresses with smooth operation and rapid gear shifts. At the same time, the 7G-TRONIC PLUS transmission contributes to reducing fuel consumption and emissions. The shift characteristics can be preset from economical to dynamic with the transmission modes

"Economy" or "Sport". Drivers with sporty inclinations can switch gears manually using the DIRECT SELECT steering wheel gearshift paddles – as in motorsport.

The ECO start/stop function is perfectly integrated into the drive system and responds particularly rapidly. This makes for longer engine stands till phases, and therefore ensures more savings. Other advantages include the low noise level and comfortable starting characteristics.

Exterior – sticks to the road and mind
The front section of the E-Class Cabriolet stands for brand self-assurance suggesting refined sportiness. The redesign of the bumper, radiator grille and headlamps lends more dynamism and prominence to the entire front section. There is also a reinterpretation of the twin-headlamp look. Clear lines and distinctive forms dominate in the E-Class Cabriolet. When driving with the roof closed, the soft top is a characteristic feature of the silhouette. When the roof is open, the long, extended beltline becomes clearly visible.

Clear lines and proportions characterize the side design of the E-Class Cabriolet. The long bonnet and elongated beltline along with 43.2 cm (17-inch) light-alloy wheels make a striking visual statement. The 23.5 mm thick three-component fabric soft top has been greatly improved with respect to acoustics and appearance compared to the preceding model series. The “acoustic soft top” ensures the lowest noise level in this segment. The fabric top can be opened and closed fully automatically in just around 20 seconds when the vehicle is moving at up to 40 km/h.

Interior - Upgrade inside
At the same time, the new E-Class Cabriolet includes a thoroughly revised interior with the aim of a new design harmony. . The new car has an even more sporty character in the interior, blending this with an exclusive, luxurious atmosphere. The exclusivity, luxuriousness, modernity and individualization options have been increased even further.

The ergonomic cockpit with its modern look and high-class appeal provides the ideal conditions for pure, unadulterated driving pleasure in the new E-Class Cabriolet. There are numerous controls and stowage facilities on the centre console and dashboard console. This area impresses with its clear, functional design, the use of high-grade materials and their careful processing. The front seats are newly developed and equipped with electric adjustment of the seat cushion height and backrest angle as standard. The four-seater E-Class Cabriolet places great importance on the comfort of passengers in the rear and has two full-fledged seats with electric head restraints which also act as a roll-over protection system.

Comfort and Convenience Systems
COMAND Online is equipped with a hard-disc navigation system featuring a map display. It also features a display with TFT technology and a 7-inch screen. A universal interface in the centre console allows easy connection of portable media players such as iPod® or iPhone®. The audio and video content can be conveniently controlled and reproduced in first-class quality using the onboard infotainment systems.

Mercedes-Benz India also introduces the unique Mercedes-Benz App with COMAND Online, enhancing the internet connectivity to the next level with COMAND Online system. Mercedes-Benz App provides convenient access to a wide range of some of the most popular apps and services on the Internet.

Carefully matched technical components and Logic 7® technology from Harman Kardon guarantee unmistakably authentic surround sound. Passengers in all seats enjoy an enthralling 360-degree sound experience for both stereo and also 5.1 multi-channel recordings. The sound system with its 14 high-performance speakers is specially matched to the particular acoustic conditions in the vehicle.

The Parking package with 360° camera and Active Parking Assist plays an important part in making parking a safe and easy process. It helps the driver to find a suitable parking space for parallel or end-on parking, and assists him by active steering and braking intervention when entering and exiting parking spaces. The integrated PARKTRONIC warns him if there are obstacles in front of or behind the car. A driver intervention is possible at any time by deactivating “Parking Assist”. The KEYLESS GO can be used to start the vehicle – simply by carrying the electronic key, which is programmed with all access and drive authorisation functions. All the driver has to do is to depress the brake pedal and press the ignition start/stop key once.

Safety and Assistance Systems
The integral safety concept from Mercedes-Benz groups together all active and passive safety components into a well thought-out system – for the safety of the vehicle occupants and other road users. It brings the vision of accident-free driving another step closer for the designers. More than ever before, it meets the requirements for a high level of vehicle and road safety, based on what actually happens in accidents.

During a collision, the nine airbags help to protect the head and torso of the driver and front passenger. In addition they stabilize the entire body. This can reduce the risk of severe injuries in an accident. Adaptive High Beam Assist always makes the best possible headlamp range available. The driver is free to concentrate on the traffic without constantly having to select between low and high beam. Continuous monitoring of the tyre pressures improves driving safety and increases the operating life of the tyres. The tyre pressure of all four wheels is monitored by sensors and indicated in the multifunction display of the instrument cluster.

With new and extended functions, in addition to the standard safety features such as ABS, BAS, ESP, ASR, Hill Start Assist, etc. ATTENTION ASSIST is able to warn the driver when it detects typical signs of drowsiness in steering behaviour. Adaptive High Beam Assist allows the high-beam headlamps to be kept on permanently since oncoming traffic or vehicles in front are masked out in the beams' cone of light. PRE-SAFE® system comes with belt tensioners for driver and front passenger seats, closing function for side windows and positioning of front passenger.

Driving the E-Class Cabriolet is an experience to be savored. The feeling of complete limitlessness can only be enhanced by a sophisticated safety concept which gives you even more freedom by minimizing risks as far as possible. The safety equipment has been adapted systematically to meet the requirements of a cabriolet: special head bags are included as standard . Together with the other airbags and the NECK-PRO head restraints, which can reduce the risk of whiplash, they provide all-round protection for the driver and front passenger.

Safety body. Right from the outset the E-Class Cabriolet was designed with the safety of its occupants in mind. That’s why much of the body consists of high-strength and maximum-strength steel. The passenger compartment, in particular, has cabriolet-specific reinforcement in the floor and side area. At the same time the high torsional strength and the lightweight construction provide the ideal basis for outstanding driving dynamics.

Roll-over protection. The upper windscreen frame and the A-pillars are exceptionally robust. The A-pillars have been reinforced with tubing, offering effective occupant protection together with the roll-over bars in case of roll-over. The roll-over bars’ cassettes are fully integrated in the rear head restraints and fastened to the area behind the rear seat backrest in the body-shell. They can be extended in fractions of a second as soon as the airbag control system’s crash sensors detect the risk of an accident.
