The All new 2015 Mercedes-Benz E400 Cabriolet is a standout amongst the most extravagant, rich convertibles available, joining top of the line arrangements and 4-passenger seating with lavish gadgets and equipment . It's additionally redesigned for 2015, swapping out a year ago's 302-strength V6 for a more responsive turbocharged 329-hp unit and winning another name E400 simultaneously. So what's it like to drive the most recent E-Class Cabriolet? We spent a week in the driver's seat to figure out, and we've accumulated our thoughts in this real-world review survey. Everyone who rode in or drove our E400 Cabriolet generally had the same remarks about the car's exterior and interior quality: It's beautiful, inside and out. Last year's headlight update gave the E-Class a more aggressive look that's welcome on the formerly staid cabriolet, while other design touches clearly convey a sense of class and expense that you won't find on cheaper cars. We like the wheel designs, the LED taillights and the attention to detail throughout the exterior. It's the same story inside, where the cabin offers handsome appointments and a beautiful look. Wind noise is surprisingly controlled for a convertible, and while the interior design is purposeful rather than stylish, all the materials are top notch. We have one complaint, though: Even at our test car's $73,000-plus price tag, you still can't seem to get past the cowl shake that's traditional in most convertible vehicles. As beforehand said, the E400 Cabriolet loses a year ago's 302-hp 3.5-liter V6 for another turbocharged V6, which uproots 3 liters and puts out 328 steeds. Torque sees a significantly higher bounce, going from a year ago's average 272 lb-ft to a plentiful 352 lb-ft. So how does the new powertrain feel?
As a rule, we were awed with the motor in all conditions. Not just does it offer solid increasing speed when moving far from a movement light, yet it brags amazing passing power on the roadway from almost every velocity, as well, something we couldn't generally say in regards to the active 3.5-liter motor. The new V6 is likewise extremely smooth, and force conveyance is direct. Truth be told, the powertrain is good to the point that we're left pondering who might trouble with the V8-fueled E550. Further demonstrating our point is that we found the middle value of more than 21 miles for each gallon in joined city and parkway driving, .which is excellent for a powerful luxury convertible. When you have a car for a week of evaluation, you tend to notice little benefits and drawbacks that a only few hours behind the wheel won't always reveal. The E400 Cabriolet is no exception. In the drawbacks column, we have to list the price. Our test car was around $72,500, and the car's near-$65,000 base MSRP doesn't include such common items as keyless access with push-button start, navigation or parking sensors. This is par for the course with German cars, but it never sits well with us.
As an advantage, however, we saw that the auto's fuel-sparing begin stop capacity is surprisingly quiet. . This capacity is generally an irritation in cutting edge autos, on the grounds that it can be prominent when ceasing and beginning the car at stoplights, however it's shockingly quiet in the E400.
