Posted December 19, 2009 | Category: Cars

With the new Cabriolet, Mercedes-Benz E-Class completes the range with a model particularly appealing and emotionally. The two-door pool with its classic soft top provides a feeling of absolute open-top driving. Seen in profile, the new model fascinates with its clear proportions and silhouette-style convertible.

The ability to use the car every month of the year has always been the priority of the Mercedes-Benz designers. With the new E-Class Cabriolet, the season for open-air travel never ends. In fact, while many will disappear from the streets in the fall Cabriolet, Mercedes-Benz E-Class Cabriolet (length / width / height: 4.698/1.786/1.402 mm) guarantees maximum driving pleasure and comfort, even with the roof closed.

In 1989, the SL models, Mercedes-Benz introduced the world premiere of a windbreak wind deflector to increase the open-air driving comfort. In 2004 the SLK model was introduced in the world premiere of heating for the head area AIRSCARF ^®. The new E-Class Cabriolet is equipped with another world first: AirCap ^®. This new wind deflector can be activated automatically with the push of a button, and greatly reduces the turbulence in the cockpit, creating a bubble of hot air inside the car. At the same time, this solution offers significant advantages in terms of convenience than traditional windbreak corners: no need to install a hard, the two individual rear seats remain free and the line of the side of the convertible is not interrupted. AirCap ^® is an innovation so practical, comfortable, stylish and safe.

There are two components of the system AirCap ^® removable flap of about 6 cm mesh in the windshield frame and a deflector screen between the rear seats.

In addition to increasing comfort and well-being of the occupants, the reduction of turbulence allowed by activation dell'AIRCAP ^® (pull up to 160 km / h and can also be used at maximum speed) helps to reduce noise levels, allowing all passengers to converse more easily.

This patented system, which works as an invisible scarf can warm up the neck and the occupant's neck, is integrated in the backrests of the front seats and emits warm air through the headrests.

For E-Class Cabriolet, Mercedes engineers have further refined this unique innovation in this model, beyond the height adjustment of the headrest, the nozzle of the heating system can be rotated 36 degrees up or down, by means of a separate knob. In this way, the driver and front passenger can always try the pleasure of this exclusive heating of the neck area, regardless of their stature.

Thanks to its roof with insulation standard, even traveling with the roof closed the new E-Class Cabriolet is one of the quietest cars in the segment of four-seater convertible with soft top. The highly sophisticated system of sound-proofing of the roof causes a reduction in the levels of sound clearly audible inside the car compared to a traditional fabric roof.
This will better absorb external noise of road and wind noise. In essence, the difference is already noticeable at a speed of 80 km / h or so, when, for example, passes through a tunnel or a column of commercial vehicles. At high speeds, with the roof insulation is able to demonstrate its advantages more effectively, allowing conversation without raising your voice.

As soon as the sensor sends a special signal, the spring loaded roll-bars are immediately activated.

Consequently, both roll-bar integrated in the headrests come out and reach in a few fractions of a second security position, where they are automatically blocked. Together with the strong pillars, reinforced with two high-strength steel tubes, steel brackets represent an effective rollover protection.

The so-called pillars "plug" have a particular connection with crash-proof, as they sink into the side sills. A high-strength steel base supports the pillar internally cross braced against the rear seat.
