Mercedes-Benz S-Class and C-Class Cabriolets launched in India

German automaker Mercedes-Benz has launched the S-Class and C-Class Cabriolets in India. 

Lets have a look at the prices:

S500 Cabriolet - Rs 2.25 crore (ex-showroom-Delhi)

C300 Cabriolet - Rs 60 lakh (ex-showroom-Delhi)

Both cabriolets are offered as Completely Built Units (CBU). C300 cabriolet is powered by a healthy 241PS of power and 370Nm of torque, all sent straight to the rear wheels via Mercedes' new 9-speed gearbox. 0-100kmph comes up in a claimed 6.4 seconds with the top speed limited to 250kmph.

From inside it got the same layout features as C-Class sedan, with certain unique bits like heat-reflecting leather seats and of course, the button to operate the fabric roof. Mercedes claims that the roof can be tucked away in around 24 seconds.

Whereas S500 cabriolet is powered by 4.7 litre V8 engine developing 455PS of power and 700Nm of torque. Equipped with 9-speed automatic gearbox, the car completes 0-100kmph run in 4.6 seconds with the top speed limited to 250kmph.

It features a dashboard similar to the standard S-Class, but unlike it, the cabriolet is for buyers who prefer the front seat, especially because the rear legroom isn’t as generous.
