Mercedes-Benz E-Class 2013–2016 car dimensions: 4703 mm long, 1786 mm wide and 1398 mm high. Unladen weight is 1,715 kg. Braked towing is 1,800 kg.
The four-seat cabin uses leather upholstery with heated front seats standard. Dual-zone automatic climate control is fitted, along with cruise control. Infotainment comes via a central display in the Audio 20 or COMAND system, controlled by a rotary knob rather than touch. Collision Prevention Assist is standard for emergency braking support, while packages add blind-spot warning, active lane keeping, parking sensors and a reversing camera. AIRCAP reduces drafts with the top down for better open-air comfort.
Boot space measures 390 litres with the roof up and drops to 300 litres with it down. The area works for weekend bags but feels shallow and awkwardly shaped when the top is lowered.
Braked towing capacity reaches 1800 kg and unbraked is 750 kg. Payload sits around 470 kg depending on model. A tow hitch can be added for light trailers or bike carriers, but this open-top luxury car suits leisure driving more than regular work duties.
The cabin holds four contoured seats with standard 14-way power fronts that include lumbar support and memory. Heated fronts come standard. Optional active ventilated fronts move air through the leather. AIRCAP is standard to cut drafts with the top down via a windshield deflector and rear screen. Optional AIRSCARF sends warm air from front head restraints. The triple-layer power soft top is nearly an inch thick for quiet closed-cabin running. Leather and wood trim finish the space.

Fuel use varies by engine. The E 350 V6 is rated up to 28 mpg highway. The E 550 V8 reaches 25 mpg highway. Both pair with a 7-speed automatic.
Servicing follows the ASSYST PLUS display that tracks oil and maintenance by driving conditions. Intervals adjust for city or highway use. No fixed calendar distance is set in the records.
Safety starts with a reinforced body and nine air bags including knee and pelvic units. PRE-SAFE tightens belts and closes windows if a crash is likely. ATTENTION ASSIST watches for drowsiness. Pop-up roll bars deploy from the rear head restraints. NECK-PRO active restraints and ESP complete the kit. The model earned IIHS Top Safety Pick status.
Keeping the car means regular soft-top care and checking the ASSYST system. The acoustic top and AIRCAP keep the cabin usable year-round with low wind noise when closed.
