Last month, Mercedes-Benz Malaysia launched the roofless variant of the C-Class, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class Cabriolet – but the base C 200 variant wasn’t present at the event. Now, we’re giving you a closer look at the three-pointed star’s least expensive convertible.
It’s still a costly proposition, mind – it’s priced at RM358,888 on-the-road without insurance, which, while RM30,000 cheaper than the C 250 Cabriolet, is a whopping RM106,000 dearer than the equivalent C 200 Exclusive sedan. Included in the price is a four-year, unlimited-mileage warranty.
Unlike the C 250 and C 300 Cabriolet models, the C 200 is the only one without an AMG Line package, retaining the standard bumpers and side skirts – albeit dressed up with the same five-spoke 18-inch AMG alloy wheels as the C 200 Exclusive sedan. A diamond-effect grille (without chrome pins) and LED High Performance headlights are fitted as standard.
Inside, the C 200 receives Artico faux leather upholstery, piano black centre console trim and brushed aluminium trim on the door cards; it misses out on the Artico dashboard wrapping of its higher-end siblings. Equipped are heated power-adjustable seats with memory, the base Audio 20 CD infotainment system with a touchpad, as well as a Garmin Map Pilot navigation system.
The C 200 is also fitted with ambient lighting, illuminated side sills plates, Active Park Assist, Agility Control suspension and the Dynamic Select system, plus seven airbags (including one for the driver’s knee), Pre-Safe and Active Brake Assist.
Power comes from the same 2.0 litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine as the sedan and coupé, producing 184 hp at 5,500 rpm and 300 Nm from 1,200 to 4,000 rpm, but the cabrio receives the newer nine-speed 9G-Tronic automatic transmission instead of the 7G-Tronic Plus seven-speeder on the others.

The perfect roofless ride for me & BFF, Trump.
Really…i thought c class cabrio…
In summary, odd-shaped C200, entry-elite collection, drive-pass others without being notice. Driver inside not impressive either, everything looks mostly an entry-level Merc.
Will notice la … see then laugh at that person la
Itchy hands Poke your kanvas roof^^
Personally, I don’t think that Cabriolet is suitable for Malaysia’s market considering the weather & security/safety issues, although it looks nice.
gorgeous. prices not so.
Hard top or soft top? None of the pics show it with roof deployed. Would be nice if mentioned in article
It’s a soft top. We didn’t have access to the car’s keys, sorry about that. You can see photos of the roof up here: http://paultan.org/2016/09/29/mercedes-benz-c-class-cabriolet-launched-in-malaysia/
No wonder they don’t have pics with the roof up. It’s looks terribly malproportioned
