Mercedes-Benz Takes the Top Off C-Class Coupe
Shown in two variants at the recent Geneva Motor Show, Mercedes-Benz unveiled a new convertible that expands the current C-Class family: the 2017 C300 Cabriolet and the sportier AMG-inspired C43 Cabriolet. This new version continues the brand’s assault on its BMW archrival, which has been offering 3 Series coupes and convertibles for years before they became the 4 Series.
Based on the upcoming 2017 C-Class Coupe (basically a successor of the CLK), the 2017 C300 Cabriolet will arrive at U.S. dealerships late this summer, while it’s muscle-bound AMG sibling will show up in the fall. Both drop-top variants will come packed with standard features and offer a slew of fancy customization options, such as 13 upholstery variants and four convertible top colors.
The C300 and the C43 AMG come with a bevvy of advanced safety features as standard, including forward-collision warning with automatic braking, and a retracting roll bar that activates in the case of a rollover. The C300 will be available in rear-wheel and all-wheel-drive configurations, but the C43 will be AWD only.
We have high expectations for the C-Class Cabriolet, since the C300 sedan we tested scored near the top of the sports-sedan segment thanks to its nimble handling, comfortable ride and plush interior. Too bad its reliability hasn’t been stellar.
Pricing will be announced closer to the Cabrio pair’s arrival starting this summer but expect it to start in the low $50,000 range.
