Surging elegance.

Information Provided by:

Is elegance a lost art, or a word with a forgotten meaning? Maybe for those who mistake

it for something delicate, decorative or demure. But in its purest form, it is graceful,

purposeful and strong. When bold innovation embraces long-held values, elegance thrives.

As any adult learns, experience and knowledge have a way of
evolving what feels good into what’s good for us. Technology
can masquerade as progress, but when it trades elegance
for expedience, it drives even the most forward thinkers to
reminisce about when life’s pleasures and passions seemed
to roam free. Case in point: our love of the automobile. At
its origin, open-air motoring wasn’t some special form of
pleasurecraft — the first cars had no roofs, so the excitement
of gas-powered mobility simply came with a sunny breeze.
It also came with rain, wind and cold, so enclosed transport
soon became the norm. In time, the easy-breezy approach
became an ever-shrinking niche of specialty soft tops and
their clever cousin, the hardtop coupe with its central roof

pillars rendered invisible. When rising costs and regulations
drove most of them into retreat, Mercedes-Benz surged
ahead — applying its deep engineering prowess not just to
preserve the exuberant elegance of open-air motoring but
to accelerate it. Today, only one automaker has continuously
offered both of these bodystyles for more than five decades.
The redesigned Coupes and Cabriolets of the 2014 E- Class
are stunningly advanced evidence that elegance is not just
thriving but more thrilling than ever. And with breakthroughs
like the new technologies of Intelligent Drive, it’s smarter and
safer, too. To open up a coupe or convertible inspires a unique
mix of freedom and passion. In the Mercedes -Benz E- Class,
it’s a feeling worthy of repeating — and never, ever retreating.

Of all the Mercedes‑Benz values that are indelibly etched in place, foremost is a devotion 

to moving the automobile boldly forward. To excite your passions, performance is always 

intensified. For your comfort, safety becomes more reassuring, while luxury grows more 

rewarding. And as the E‑Class Coupe can attest, its aggressively resculpted prow, arching 

pillarless roofline and glass Panorama roof have never been more enticing. Find yourself 

in its tailored four‑ seat cockpit, and what your first glance predicted is what every drive 

fulfills: A sensation that stimulates all of your senses — and just never seems to get old.

Expressive new LED headlamps sweep back from
the single- crossbar grille, underscored by sizable
air inlets and subtle chrome accents. The chiseled
profile guides the air — and your gaze — past the
new twin 5-spoke 18" wheels,1 to the intriguing
LED taillamps. The power lurking within the E 350
Coupe is no less captivating. Its 302-hp V- 6 can
whisk it to 60 mph in 6.1 seconds.2 The AGILITY
CONTROL® suspension instantly balances control
and comfort, with optional 4matic® all- wheel drive
further inspiring confidence.3 And a Sport Package
adds AMG® wheels and visibly upgraded brakes.

The more aggressive appearance of AMG lower
bodywork leaves no doubt that the E 550 Coupe
is geared for the power-hungry. Large air intakes
define the deep front air dam, while a black lower
diffuser sets off the shapely dual exhaust tips at
the rear — with each end accentuated by a chrome
cross-strut. Iconic 18" AMG twin 5 -spoke wheels
team with a Dynamic Handling suspension that
lets the driver fine-tune the car’s performance
character at the touch of a button. The 402- hp
biturbo V- 8 can satisfy anyone’s appetite for
acceleration, delivering 60 mph in 4.9 seconds.

The activities you enjoy most in life — whether engaging in them, or simply watching 

them — tend to have a time and place. Especially if driving a convertible is your sport 

of choice. Sure, it’s fun to toss one around a curve on a spring afternoon, but how 

often is your game called due to weather? An E‑Class Cabriolet is open for pleasure 

year‑round. Its innovations leave no wind untamed. Its performance is anything but 

timid. Its spicy new looks are the opposite of tepid. And while its acoustic fabric top 

and 4‑seat cabin are the very definition of tailored, its muscle is positively ripped. 

Which means it’s always in shape for your favorite sport. And always in season.

E 350 Cabriolet

Whether it’s sprinting to 60 mph in 6.3 seconds2
or spiriting its power top into hiding in under 20,
the E 350 Cabriolet makes every moment work
to your advantage. Its 302-hp V-6 and AGILITY
CONTROL® suspension react instantly to balance
response with refinement. With just a glance,
its new twin 5-spoke 18" wheels,1 sculpted lower
body styling and sleek chrome highlights reveal
its sporting soul. Or if you’d prefer, let the AMG®
wheels and perforated front brakes of the Sport
Package make a more emphatic statement.

E 550 Cabriolet

With a 402-hp biturbo V- 8 that can thrust it to
60 in just 5.0 seconds, the E 550 is one of the
most energetic Mercedes- Benz cabriolets yet.
Its multi-mode Dynamic Handling suspension
and 18" AMG wheels also make it one of the
most athletic. And yet for all its aptitude, it has
a remarkably agreeable attitude. Part of that is
from its upbringing — with the solid values and
deep character that earn a car the Star in its
grille. And part of it comes from a simple fact:
Having all that power makes every effort easier.

Look into an E‑ Class Coupe or Cabriolet — or out of one — and you’ll 

see the uniquely rewarding result of thinking ahead. Its redesigned 

cabin presents luxuries that might seem unimaginably advanced, yet 

they feel familiar — and even essential — in no time. The Coupe’s four 

power windows and Panorama roof make it seem like you can touch 

the horizon. The Cabriolet’s wind‑taming innovations let you gently 

touch the sky. And by day or night, hand‑finished wood trim and new 

multicolor ambient lighting reward you with their luminance. With 

every drive, you’ll find a harmony of tradition and technology. Repose 

and responsiveness. And an outlook you’ll always look forward to.

The magic of an E- Class owes a lot to
the science behind its design. Every
detail of its shape, from the contours
of the new lower bodywork to the side
mirrors, is honed in both virtual and
actual wind tunnels. Mercedes -Benz
engineers aim to achieve class-leading
aerodynamics in every model, not only
to benefit fuel- efficiency but also to
enhance handling stability, visibility in
poor weather, and quiet comfort.

The exclusive AIRCAP
eliminates drafts when driving with the
Cabriolet’s top down. A clever wind
deflector rises above the windshield,
while a see-through screen powers up
between the rear head restraints. The
innovative optional AIRSCARF® system
provides warmed air from below each
front head restraint, so you can enjoy
top- down driving in cooler weather.

Advanced light-emitting diode (LED)
technology floods dark roadways with
more even, natural illumination. In
addition to the standard headlamps,
LEDs are employed for the brake, tail
and Daytime Running Lamps, plus the
turn signals at the front, rear, and in
the side mirrors. Integrated with the
available active full-LED headlamps are
distinctive running lamps that further
define the “power bulge” in the hood.

With four individual sport seats and an
abundance of leather and wood, the
cockpit further rewards the driver with
crisp new gauges. The new electronic
shifter on the steering column allows
for a more generous, wood-trimmed
center console and larger armrest. A
new analog timepiece is an exquisite
detail whose design pays tribute to the
classic 1950s Mercedes- Benz coupes.
