The C207/A207 Mercedes-Benz E-Class are coupé and convertible models based on the W204 C-Class sedan chassis. It was produced between 2008 and 2017 as the successor to the previous C209/A209 CLK-Class.[3][4] The body styles of the range are 2-door coupé (C207) and 2-door convertible (A207).
The coupé and cabriolet vehicles were never offered in the high performance Mercedes-AMG variants, unlike its predecessor.[5] E350 and E400 coupé models were also available in all-wheel drive 4MATIC variants from 2012.[6][7]
It was replaced by the C238/A238 E-Class in 2017 for the 2018 model year.[8]
Development and launch
The C207/A207 E-Class shares its platform with the W204 C-Class sedan, featuring identical wheelbases, and similar axle track lengths.[9] While the W212 E-Class sedan is built at the Sindelfingen plant, the E-Class C207 coupé is built in Bremen alongside the W204 C-Class.[10]
Some early petrol models had CGI BlueEFFICIENCY branding, with the exception of the E 300 BlueEFFICIENCY and E 500.[11] With the introduction of the Mercedes 7G-Tronic automatic transmission,[12] models subsequently dropped the CGI moniker, along with the BlueEFFICIENCY name after the 2013 facelift.[13] Diesel models with the nine-speed automatic transmission were also called BlueTEC instead of CDI BlueEFFICIENCY,[14] and facelifted models were simply called CDI or BlueTEC.[13]
Mercedes-Benz originally intended for the C207/A207 to continue the CLK name, but changed to E-Class branding during development.[15]
Body styles
Coupé (C207)
The coupé was introduced at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show.[16]
Convertible (A207)
The convertible was unveiled at the 2010 North American International Auto Show.[17]
Some convertibles have Mercedes' AIRSCARF system, which provides neck heating for front occupants,[18] and the AIRCAP windshield spoiler and wind deflector system, deflecting air over the cabin for reduced draft and wind noise.[19]
Equipment
Standard equipment includes Mercedes' AGILITY CONTROL semi-adaptive suspension[20] and ATTENTION ASSIST which alerts the driver when the car detects driver fatigue.[21] Models feature front, side, and knee airbags, along with belt tensioners and head restraints.[22] An AMG Sports package can also be optioned, featuring AMG bodystyling, 15 mm (0.6 in) lower suspension, silver painted front brake calipers, and wider 18-inch alloy wheels. However, the AMG package did not include performance upgrades.[23]
