Unlike its predecessor that was based on the smaller C-Class, the new E-Class Coupé is based on the E-Class saloon, thus offering more space and comfort with the larger footprint. The car has grown 123 mm longer, 74 mm wider and 33 mm taller, resulting in increased rear knee room, shoulder room and headroom.

Maserati's Ghibli offers a different kind of sensation - what are they?


This C43 AMG Cabriolet's rear felt softer than the front, and when driven enthusiastically with the folding canvas roof hidden in the trunk, it gets even more obvious to the point you must hold the steering wheel tighter and ease off the accelerator; thankfully however, steering is precise and the anchors are commendable.

However, Mercedes didn’t just stop with the AMG C43 sedan (which we’ve reviewed previously). They have expanded to the — take a deep breath — AMG C43 Coupe, C43 Cabriolet, SLC43, GLC43, GLC43 Coupe and even E43. Yes, an entire new range of AMG 43.

But it truly was a beauty. So how do you make something that great better? Well you don’t. The new A5’s designer Frank Lamberty, took on this project with the mindset of “improving the design with some subtle tweaks“. With the less-is-more approach, he made small changes to the new A5 (which is based on the new A4), most of it at the front.

And the problem with those two choices are, (a) the E-Class Cabriolet isn’t as youthful and might be mistaken as your mum’s car, while (b) the SLK is a strict two-seater which meant additional passengers have to be thrown into the boot.

Mercedes-Benz C200 Cabriolet | Welcome To The Topless Party

Can the cloth-top version of the C-Class deliver if you want style, comfort and a little bit of driving fun in one package?


That said, Mercedes-Benz isn’t the first to introduce such ‘gap filler’ though. Looking back, Audi had the S4 to bridge the A4 2.0 TFSI to the RS4. Even BMW had the 335i (now 340i) between the 328i and M3. You get the drift.

Filling the gap between the C250 AMG Line and the full-blown C63 AMG, is there actually enough space for this new C43 AMG?


The E200? To be honest, it does come across as a tad silly next to the more compact C-Class and B-Class all thanks to its size; but due to the fact that I somewhat ‘threw’ it into an oversteer, kept it under control and receive an ego-boosting praise from the instructor, it all worked out in my favour…

But it all changed when Apple came along and introduced the iPod.

The C-Class Sedan took a slimming pill and the result is rather satisfying


Styling-wise, the E-class ditches the quad-headlamp look it’s sported for the last two decades, and instead now looks like a carbon copy of the current C- and S-Classes. Overall length and wheelbase have grown by 43mm and 65mm respectively for added legroom, while the front track is now 20mm wider for slightly keener handling. Three trim levels are available — Exclusive (with the traditional Mercedes radiator grille with the upright star on the bonnet), Avantgarde, and AMG Line (both of which have a sports grille with integrated Mercedes star).

Depending on your luck, the response would usually differ. It ranges from a simple smile, to a ‘thanks man’ and the most extreme, a rather lovely ‘just shut up and move along’. When I’m on the receiving end, I’d usually smile then say ‘thanks for that’ and then mutter something Jamaican (I think); but deep down inside I really am longing for coffee.

An engineering feat here is the completely new active aerodynamics profile, which is concealed almost invisibly in the underbody in front of the engine. At a speed of 80 km/h in Race mode, this carbon component, weighing only about two kilograms, automatically moves downward by about 40 millimetres and changes the airflow considerably. This process results in what is known as the Venturi effect, which additionally

But suddenly the Germans decided they wanted to be part of the party too. Along came the Mercedes-Benz ML, BMW X5, Porsche Cayenne and Volkswagen Touareg.

The latest C-Class Coupe is based on the current W205 generation model, and features a much swoopier, flowing body than before. And, just as its sedan counterpart mimics the styling of the flagship S-Class limousine, so too does the C-Class Coupe closely resemble the svelte S-Class Coupe, particularly at the rear.
