Cabriolet Offers 11 Exterior Colors and 4 Soft Top Options
The exterior of the Coupe follows the traditional proportions of Mercedes Coupes: a beautifully flowing roofline that leads to a bold, powerful rear end. The A-pillar, which rises low from the front section, along with the high beltline and frameless doors, create the classic Mercedes Coupe proportions.

The Cabriolet, on the other hand, is based on the Coupe's body design. When the soft top is closed, it boasts a styling reminiscent of a traditional, flowing Mercedes Coupe, while with the top down, it offers the expansive proportions unique to a cabriolet. Furthermore, the ability to create a highly personalized and stylish vehicle with 11 exterior colors, 4 soft top colors (black, brown, dark blue, and dark red), and 6 interior combinations is one of its key appeals.
The headlights at the front feature a design common to the latest sporty Mercedes-Benz models, characterized by a slim, slightly upward-sloping shape.
