The open-top C-Class is currently launched across Europe with a wide range of powertrain and personalisation options.
Merc’s entry-level convertible sports a fabric soft top that opens and closes in 20 seconds up to speeds of 50km/h (31 mph) and is available in four colors.
The engine range is the same with the hard-top coupe model, meaning customers in Europe will get to choose between no less than six petrol and two diesel units. Petrol versions kick off with the 156hp C180 version and reach all the way up to the 333hp C400 4Matic.
Diesel models use the 2.2-litre four-cylinder in two power guises, with 170 HP for the C220d and 204 HP for the C250d. The brand’s latest nine-speed 9G-Tronic automatic gearbox is available with all engines. Those looking for the extra traction of an all-wheel drive system will get the 4Matic option that is available with four engines in Europe. The new Mercedes C-Class Cabriolet is also the first model of its class to come with an optional air suspension.
The cabin can be fitted with 13 different upholstery options, seven trim variants and three colors for the soft top’s headliner. A host of active safety systems is also present, including the company’s Collision Prevention Assist Plus, Adaptive Brake Assist, Distronic Plus with Steering Assist and Stop&Go Pilot and the list goes on.
Pricing in Germany starts at 42,215 euros for the C180 Cabriolet and reaches all the way up to 59,767 euros for the C400 4Matic, the fastest version without having to opt for a fully fledged AMG model.
