Mercedes-Benz has released a teaser of its upcoming E-Class Cabriolet, demonstrating its retractable fabric roof in movement ahead of its public showing at the Geneva Motor Show. As with the recently-launched coupe, the cabriolet is expected to adopt most of the sedan’s powertrain line-up comprising petrol and diesel variants, as well as a full-blooded AMG model – a first for a two-door E-Class.
The E-Class Cabriolet’s fabric top is said to take just 20 seconds to fully open or close, and as in Mercedes’ alfresco fashion, will come equipped with the automaker’s own Airscarf neck-heating and Aircap wind deflector systems.
When the Cabriolet makes its debut, it will round out the E-Class line-up, with the sedan, long-wheelbase sedan, wagon, All-Terrain and coupe already launched.
Last year in its native Germany, Mercedes-Benz fell afoul of a patent rights law with the Airscarf system, which saw it ordered to disable the system and have related advertising material withdrawn. This temporary ruling ended last December, which means Airscarf business now proceeds as usual.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
This E-Class Cabriolet’s uses a fabric top instead of solid top. It also mean it is NOT for M’sian market.
It is a classy Cabriolet all in all & just looking at the roof disappear in 20 sec is enough to convince me this fabulous car can turn into a Coupe or cabriolet will be a hit in California.
Msia cannot use. Black asap from diesel lorry using Euro 2M will choke and kill you
I actually prefer soft top than hard top. Yes, the risk is there that some joker cutting it open with a knife, but in my years of ownership, yet to happen to me touch wood.
Just don’t leave valuables visible inside your car. As for the car, 2 seater cars are not usually targeted by thief.
Sorry Bro, U must be a …. to drive this car with the top open knowing that the lorry is belching thick asap/smoke in your face. U must think that the people that drive this car is a joke.
Kereta alang-alang.
Kunta, Mikey did say its NOT for M’sian market la. He did say its more suitable for California. Did you read his comment before writing ??
