The cabin offers solid space for four adults with good headroom even in the rear thanks to the roof design. Seats provide firm support suited to long drives and can include multi-way electric adjustment plus multi-contour bolsters on some grades. Heat-insulating glass is available to cut noise and heat. An optional electric sunroof adds light while power steering and available automatic climate control keep daily use easy.
Petrol engine with 70 litre tank.
Fuel use 6.8 l/100 km at 90 km/h, 8.7 l/100 km at 120 km/h, 13.0 l/100 km urban (RÜF version).
ABS standard from launch.
Disc brakes all round with ventilated fronts.

The 3.0-litre straight-six runs on unleaded super petrol. Expect the listed consumption figures in steady motorway running and higher use in town. The 70-litre tank gives useful range for European touring.
ABS comes as standard on the 300 CE and works with dual-circuit disc brakes. The body uses high-strength steel with reinforced A-pillars, sills and doors to offset the missing B-pillar. Seat belts include pretensioners. Driver airbag appears later in the run as standard or option.
Routine care centres on regular oil and filter changes plus checks of coolant, brakes and the multilink rear suspension. Keep an eye on the electric belt feeders and rear-window seals that are coupe-specific. Parts remain available and the mechanical layout is straightforward for specialists.
