Mercedes-Benz India are all set to launch the E 53 AMG 4MATIC+ Cabriolet on January 6. The car is essentially the E 53 sedan in a two-door guise.
The Cabriolet uses a three-litre, turbo-charged petrol engine which is good for 435 hp and it also gets an integrated starter-generator that makes an additional 22 hp; the combined torque output is 520 Nm. The engine is mated to a nine-speed automatic transmission that sends power to all the wheels. It has a top speed of 250 km/h and does a 0-100 km/h dash in just 4.5 seconds.
The interiors host a gamut of features such as the flat-bottom steering wheel, Burmester music system, ambient lighting, wireless charger and two 10.5-inch displays integrated as one. The interiors also include AMG seating with AMG badges. There is a heating function for the driver and front passenger as well. The upholstery is done in ARTICO man-made leather/DINAMICA microfibre in black with an AMG layout, and red contrasting top-stitching. The flat-bottom steering wheel has been adopted from the brand’s motorsport background and it adds to the sportiness of the cabin.
The exterior gets a new AMG-specific radiator grille and redesigned front splitter that goes well with the sporty character of the car. The AMG-specific radiator grille with its A-shaped outline is flanked by flat headlamps. The lines and creases on the bonnet accentuate the sporty appeal further. The car comes equipped with AMG light-alloy wheels and the rear section gets the AMG spoiler lip. All of these align together seamlessly for an undeniable road presence.
