2013 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Cabriolet (A207) E 200 6MT RWD (184 HP)

Vehicle Overview

Mercedes-Benz refreshed the E-Class Coupe and Cabriolet in 2013 after, just four years since it introduced the model in its lineup.

When it made the facelift for the C207/A207 models, the German automaker upgraded the front facia and the engine lineup. In addition, it made them compliant with the Euro6 standards, which became mandatory in September 2014 in the European Union. At the same time, it also fixed the problems that it had with the 1.8-liter supercharged engines. The result was appreciated even more by customers since the new version featured a new interior.

Like the rest of the E-Class range, the open-top version lost the quad-headlight setup and gained two headlights with an organic, fluid shape. Depending on the trim level and options, the car sported a more aggressive front bumper with an A-shaped lower grille, introduced as the AMG package. Furthermore, the side scoops hosted the LED daytime running lights. From its profile, the overall look remained the same, but at the rear, there were new LED taillights.

While many people asked for a refreshed exterior, few had expected the interior upgrades where Mercedes-Benz completely changed the cabin. It moved the gear selector behind the steering wheel, leaving the center console clear, thus creating more storage areas. Atop the center stack, the automaker integrated the infotainment screen neatly under the same cover as the instrument panel.

Along with the facelift, the previously used 1.8-liter supercharged versions were removed, and the automaker added a 2.0-liter gasoline engine as the base version. In addition, it improved the performance of the turbo-diesel powerplants.
