Mercedes E Class Cabriolet Hire

Replacing the open-topped CLK, the E-Class cabriolet is a genuine four-seater with the bomb-proof build quality of Mercs of old. Everywhere you look there are top-notch materials, with everything screwed together beautifully – there really is a sense of utter durability with everything.

There’s also a sense of serious technology at work, and while the interior is very soberly designed, there’s also plenty of comfort on offer too. A proper four seater, there’s ample room for two up front with another pair behind, each getting decent leg room, with more than enough head room, even with the roof up.

The E-Class cabriolet’s roof mechanism is something that Mercedes has put a lot of effort into, and they’ve done a brilliant job. You’ll find no folding hard top here; these compromise the packaging too much, which is why there’s a good old-fashioned soft-top.

Except it’s not so old-fashioned; almost an inch thick, this fabulously well-insulated roof offers virtually all the comfort and refinement of a fixed roof, without pinching all the boot space when it’s stowed – not that the roof is especially generously proportioned. Even better, you can keep the roof down pretty much all year round, thanks to a world first; a technology which Mercedes is calling Aircap.
