2017 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Cabriolet: Mercedes' Top-Down Approach - The Car Guide
At Mercedes-Benz, cabriolets are all the rage. After the E-Class, S-Class, SLC and SL, now it’s the C-Class’s turn to come out with a cabriolet. The C-Class Coupe hasn’t been out for very long, but lo and behold, there’s already a convertible version. High five to the stylists for preserving the coupe’s beauty. It features the signature lines of Mercedes-Benz’s new generations of vehicles and, like the brand-new coupe, it has a sleek silhouette with fluid, revealing contours. Its one flaw, however, is the dashboard design. In light of the subtlety of its lines, this C-Class should show the same finesse in its dashboard design. The soft top retracts and tucks behind the rear seats in less than 20 seconds, as long as you’re driving at 50 km/h or less, which has now become the norm with cabriolet manufacturers. As with the brand’s other convertibles, the AIRCAP system helps reduce turbulence reasonably well, in particular for the passengers seated in back. When activated, a mesh windblocker connects the two rear headrests while a deflector is deployed at the top of the windshield. Moreover, you can lower the top later in the year thanks to the AIRSCARF system that sends heat directly behind your head. On our side of the Atlantic, there are four available versions of the 2017 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Cabriolet. Source: www.guideautoweb.com
