MERCEDES-BENZ revealed its new E-Class Cabriolet on the same day the German luxury brand completed its new W212-series E-Class four-door range in Australia by releasing the E63 AMG sedan.
Based on the two-door C207-series E-Class Coupé, the new Mercedes-Benz Cabriolet will replace the current CLK Cabriolet in Australia next May, just as the E-Class Coupé succeeded the CLK Coupé here in August, when it arrived simultaneously with the new E-class sedan.
Officially, Mercedes-Benz says it will not produce AMG versions of the E-Class Coupé and Cabriolet, which share 40 per cent of their components with the C-Class, meaning there will be no direct replacements for the CLK Coupe or Cabriolet.
Lack of demand and the popularity of its C63 AMG Estate (24 of which have been sold here, while just one W211-generation E63 Estate hit Australian roads) will also thwart a local release for the E63 AMG version of the new E-class Estate, garden variety versions of which go on sale here in March.
For now, the Cabriolet – the fourth member of the angular new E-Class model range – will be available in Europe with the same engine line-up as the coupé, including the 125kW E220 CDI, 150kW E250 CDI and 170kW E350 CDI diesels, and the 135kW E200 CGI, 150kW E250 CGI, 215kW E350 CGI and 285kW E500 petrol versions.
In Australia, the E-Class Cabriolet range is likely to reflect that of the E-Class Coupé, meaning the entry-level CLK 200K Cabriolet's supercharged 1.8-litre petrol four is likely to be replaced by the 1.8-litre '250 CGI' engine and the CLK500 Cabriolet's 5.5-litre V8 should carryover to the E500 Cabriolet.
In between, Mercedes-Benz Australia/Pacific could offer the soft-top E350 petrol V6 and E250 CDI 2.1-litre diesel, the latter representing the first diesel-powered cabriolet from Mercedes in Australia.
While the current CLK Cabriolet range opens at $103,669 for the CLK200K, the base E250 CGI Cabriolet will also come at a premium over the E250 CGI Coupé ($94,500).
The E-Class Cabriolet, which will make its global debut at the Detroit motor show on January 11 (the same date the car goes on sale in Europe), shares the same basic dimensions as the coupe, including a 4698mm length and 1786mm width.
But because of its electrically folding fabric roof, which continues a CLK Cabriolet (and Audi A5 Cabriolet) hallmark but eschews the folding hard-top systems featured by the compact SLK and large SL roadsters (as well as direct rivals like the BMW 3 Series Convertible and Lexus IS250C), it is slightly higher at 1402mm.
