MERCEDES BENZ CE Cabriolet (A124) 1995-1997 Photos, engines & full specs

Mercedes-Benz made a final push for its E-Class Cabriolet in 1995. It offered it with slight aesthetic changes and new powerplants under the hood.

While it was not considered a true facelift, the 1995 model-year was presented in 1994 with new turn signals at the front. These sported clear lenses and yellow bulbs instead of the older amber-colored glasses. The 1995 model boasted a few horizontal slats on the front fenders depending on the engine and trim levels. The base model featured steel wheels with plastic caps instead of light-alloy wheels, unlike its predecessors.

The 1995 model year came with a smaller E200 version. It was aimed at those who didn't care too much about performance or interior amenities but focused on the overall car look. Thus, the car featured cloth upholstery, manual transmission, and no AC for the base trim level. In addition, the roll-over C-pillar was mandatory for several countries, including for the U.S. market.

Under the hood, the base version featured an inline-four gasoline engine mated to a five-speed gearbox. Its fuel-injected system, together with the four-valves per cylinder system, allowed it to provide up to 136 ponies which were sent to the rear wheels. So while it wasn't a high-performer, it provided the luxurious look of a much more expensive vehicle.
