The Mercedes-Benz E-Class continues to be one of the most versatile models in the brand’s lineup. It can come as a traditional sedan, a lifted wagon, a coupe, or a convertible. Here, we are focusing on the latter two. The coupe and convertible include just a single drivetrain, a 3.0-liter turbo 6-cylinder coupled to a mild hybrid. Two levels of power are available, and power can be sent to the rear or all four wheels.
Not many larger, four-seat convertibles are left on the market, so it’s good to have something like the E-Class still available.

2021 Mercedes-Benz E450 Cabriolet Review: Come Sail Away
With the amount of change in the automotive industry, it’s worth considering the last of certain types of cars.
Lamborghini and Ferrari are about to build their last purely-petrol-powered V12s. There’s just one V6-powered, front-drive family sedan left: the Camry. Want a naturally-aspirated V8 four-door sedan? Your choices are either the Lexus IS 500, the Chrysler 300, or the Dodge Charger. Slim pickings.
Consider the convertible. Now refine that brain-based search to exclude two-seaters (Miata, Boxster), pony cars (Mustang, Camaro), or cars where no actual adult can fit in the second row (911, LC). Chop it down further by disqualifying cars with sporting intentions.
What you’re left with is the 2021 Mercedes-Benz E450 Cabriolet. This mid-sizer has no direct competitors, and almost certainly sells in tiny numbers. It’s also a consummate cruiser for you and three friends, and despite some inherent flaws, should be celebrated for just that.
