The W213 now has two doors, but we won't know what the roofless version looks until next year. That's where this rendering comes in, a 2018 E-Class Cabriolet that looks elegant and refined, just not very sporty.
Cabriolet renderings are never that entertaining to look at, unless they're based on SUVs, of course. Unfortunately, we have to talk about what Theophilus Chin has done today, which isn't a GLS Vegas party on wheels. But I bet there's a sheik somewhere saying "I can't wait to buy that E-Class Cabriolet... for my maid."
Based on Mercedes-Benz's MO, the E-Cabrio should come out three to six months after the coupe, placing it at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show.
Since the E-Class Coupe looks so much like the C-Class and S-Class, the Cabrio should look the same too. While the thought of driving this slowly through a field of flowers is enticing, we have to talk about the engineering.
Four engines are available for the coupe and they will be offered in the cabrio too. There's the E 200d with the new 2-liter making 194 PS, the E 200 and E 300 running on gas (184 and 245 PS) or the E 400 4Matic giving the world 333 PS. Regardless of engine choice, the 9G-Tronic nine-speed automatic transmission takes care of the gears.
It's too early to tell, but there should be at least one AMG model, either the inline-six-powered E50 or the V8-motivated E63.
Want a comfortable suspension? The E-Cabrio will have multi-chamber Air Body Control suspension. But there's something magical you're missing in these photos. For instance, when the vehicle is opened, the taillight LEDs illuminate successively from the center outwards. And when it's locked, they do it in the opposite direction.
Screens are more important than anything else in today's cars. In these new two-door E-Class models, the entry-level model combines two round dials and a 17.8 cm color display cluster (1000 x 600-pixel resolution) with a central display with a 21.3 cm screen diagonal (960 x 540 pixels). Optionally, you could go for the 12.3-inch digital dash.
