奔驰近日发布了2018款E级敞篷车图片和细节，该车将在日内瓦车展首次亮相。全新E级敞篷车也是奔驰W213系列中级车的最新成员。与上代车型相比，新车的车身尺寸进一步，增加长度为190英寸（约合4.82米），宽73.2英寸（约合1.86米），高度也略有增加，但仍比现行版E300轿车低了半英寸。选装的可调阻尼提供了更宽的设置范围，而多腔空气悬挂可提供三种不同硬度的选择。美版敞篷车搭载一台取自E级轿跑车的3.0升V6双涡轮引擎，功率329马力，可搭配9G-Tronic九速自动变速器。奔驰虽然没有公布性能数据，但预计后驱版0-96公里/小时加速时间5.5秒，全驱版预计要慢一点。车辆内装与轿跑车版本一样，包括圆形空调出风口，LED背景照明，可提供多达64种颜色组合的真皮内饰，12.3英寸显示屏，选装的数字仪表群。车辆顶蓬可在时速48公里以下时开闭，耗时20秒，顶蓬颜色包括深褐色，深蓝色，红色和黑色四种颜色。奔驰没有公布该车价格，但预计将非常接近现行版的6.3万美元（约合人民币43.34万元）。该车将于年底在美国上市。
2018 Mercedes E-Class Cabriolet: 329 hp and endless sunshine
Mercedes-Benz has been teasing us on the forthcoming 2018 E-Class Cabriolet for a while now, but the wait is over. Nestled among numerous other Mercedes debuts at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show, the all-new E-Class Cabriolet is the latest addition to the manufacturer’s recast W213-generation midsize segment.
Compared to the previous-generation car, the new droptop is a touch longer at 190 inches and wider at 73.2 inches. It’s a bit higher as well, though it sits roughly a half-inch lower than the current E300 sedan. Optional adjustable dampers offer a wide range of settings, while multi-chamber air suspension offers three firmness settings to accommodate cruising or canyon carving.
The cabrio gets the same 329-horsepower, 3.0-liter biturbo V6 and 9G-Tronic nine-speed automatic found in the E-Class Coupe. Mercedes hasn’t released performance figures, but we estimate rear-wheel drive models to reach 60 miles per hour in roughly 5.5 seconds. Expect the all-wheel drive version to take a bit longer.
There are no real surprises inside the cabrio, which pulls directly from the coupe for inspiration. That means jet-inspired air vents, LED ambient lighting with 64 colors, numerous color choices for leather, even more choices for interior trim, and a suite of Mercedes luxury that includes the standard 12.3-inch display, or an optional digital instrument cluster.
The roof retracts in less than 20 seconds and can be operated at speeds up to 30 mph. The top is available in four colors – dark brown, dark blue, red, or black.
Pricing hasn’t been released, but it should be fairly close to the current model’s $63,000 tag. The E-Class Cabriolet will be available in the U.S. by the end of the year.
