Living with a Mercedes-Benz E-Class Cabriolet | 2021 E-Class facelift in depth review

Welcome to February. With grey skies and rain it's a world away from the time of year that convertibles are associated with. That's why we grabbed the keys to a brand new E-Class Cabriolet to see what it's like to live with and if convertibles can be cars for all seasons.
Model featured: E 220 d AMG Line Premium Cabriolet in Brilliant Blue metallic.

I have a 2019 which is essentially the same car save for some slight body design and steering wheel changes. This is easily the best review on the E Class cabriolet on KZbin. It gives you relevant info and touches on (what I think at least) the more important review points like sound dampening with the cloth roof, can it go through a car wash and other more everyday driving concerns. Well done.

Brilliant review 👏 Lots of information and a good laugh! Love it!

Brilliant video. Ive just bought a 2019 model and found this video very helpful. Thanks very much.

[@jK-zv7nk]

Beautiful daily convertible for all occasions

[@Dr_MattS]

I wonder what the emoji post-it was a reminder for?! Or did you really want a smart watch and you're having a trial run? 🤣 A nice review of a very nice motor I'm on my way to a mid life crisis, so this is definitely on the list.

[@kevindunham3669]

I have a 17 plate fantastic car looking to upgrade this year been round the Nurburgring in mine i have the roof down ASAP love it

[@36Danman]

I have the 69 plate and love my e class cabriolet.. Great video

[@toluabisola]

You got a like for making me laugh at 7:47 Great vid, and informative too

[@AlexManMe]

Is there a time in the year that Mercedes normally refreshes the lines of cars? A bit like October for the iPhones

[@glenparker8458]

It’s a beautiful car class

[@rscosworthfan]

great review we have the previous model

[@Lee-fc3yf]

Great review I have my eye on one at the moment, you may have swung it.

[@LandLAutomotive]

Fantastic! Thank you very much. It's one that I'm sure you'll love living with as much as I did!

[@TheKathrynHine]

Your review was fantastic... I might’ve accidentally bought one 😱

[@LandLAutomotive]

Fantastic choice! Thank you very much. Enjoy your new E-Class!

[@louisvuitton56]

Yeah I accidentally butt dialled the sales man and my butt closed the deal is what I said to my wife when this arrive this morning

[@philnelson2607]

Great review thank you 😊 would be good to see a c class vs e class convertible comparison too 👏🏼

[@LandLAutomotive]

Thank you! As luck would have it I've got something in the works featuring the C-Class cabriolet. The E-Class is certainly the cruiser of the pair! Watch this space.

Is the 2019 plate different to the 20 plate?

[@maxnoons2740]

Please do a review on the e220d coupe !

[@LandLAutomotive]

It is on our to-do list, we've got a lot more to come with the new E-Class!

[@lesliestephenson1298]

Why has it got C klass headlights ?

[@carlospais5455]

Very well done. Thanks.

It needs the premium plus so you get the nice 20 inch wheels

Nice review, but the screen monitor just sucks, i hate it.

[@robertmitchell8423]

What's the score if you don't want to risk of keyless entry? Too many cars around me are being taken with the radio booster trick, I have stopped looking at this model as it is only specified with keyless entry, can it be deactivated??

[@LandLAutomotive]

Great question - Mercedes-Benz keys now deactivate themselves when they've been left flat for a period of time and wake up when they are picked up again. Double pressing the lock button on the key will deactivate keyless entry too. Lots of our customers also buy pouches for keys which block the signal transmission to or from the car.

[@robertmitchell8423]

@@LandLAutomotive Thanks for your reply, someone on Mercedes chat also mentioned that you can "cancel the subscription" to keyless entry using your mobile phone app (my merc app I guess) do you know anything about that?? I have a number of business contacts who have lost their range rovers and BMW's as they were simply driven away, I don't want to put myself at risk. With my current BMW I had it deleted at the build stage but 3 years on its time for a change. If you want to give me some contact details I would be happy for you guys to quote me as you clearly understand the E53 AMG better than some. Robert

[@LandLAutomotive]

@@robertmitchell8423 It is possible to remotely lock and unlock the car from Mercedes me and the car can be tracked via the app. There's also an automatic theft notification and a stolen vehicle help service available. Feel free to email us at [e-mail] and we'll take it from there.

[@richardrobin395]

Yes it can be deactivated

[@pasanpitigala5396]

weird question here i have 5 people in in my family is there any way you could fit 5?

[@LandLAutomotive]

Great question. The E-Class Coupé and Cabriolet are both strictly four seaters and this is due to the chassis modifications required when removing the roof and B-pillars. As a result, the cabin is narrower in the rear and the door sills are wider to allow for the strengthening sections to be added.

[@darrenluck5382]

Excellent video! Looks very roomy with the roof up.. how tall are you?

[@LandLAutomotive]

Thank you! I'm about 6'3" - fitting in the rear isn't an issue for me with the two-door E-Class models, just need to remember to move your head forward when the roof is raised or lowered. Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@darrenluck5382]

@@LandLAutomotive I'm about the same so should fit me perfectly.... just need to find one now!! Thanks again 👍🏼

[@gooner2000woman]

i have a 2018 one till you hit a pot hole and the whole car becomes unstable

[@rscosworthfan]

the only thing i dont like is the chrome trim around the top its a nightmare to keep prisine

[@richardrobin395]

Is it easy to look after the soft top? more to that how do you wash it?

[@13jrvernon]

Don't have as a daily driver. Keep in garage and you don't have to clean top as much

[@sadoldgit313]

The issue with these two door cabs is the width and weight of the doors. In parking bays where somebody parks beside you it’s difficult getting the door open wide enough to get in! Number of times I have had to climb over the passenger seat to get in are countless! Even the Merc Fabric roof fades and bird crap is difficult to remove, even with proprietary cleaners! I had a 2017 E Class convertible and the number of times I had the opportunity to drive with the roof down could he counted on two hands.

[@strictlyyoutube6881]

I could only warrant this car if I have a garage

[@13jrvernon]

​@@strictlyyoutube6881 i have a garage for my mustang convertible. When i pay it off. I'm getting a Benz

[@Sergio-ln1dc]

What's your height?

[@themayorofdipshittery3646]

Think I’d have it de-chromed. Lovely motor though.

[@stuartronald9785]

Why would you take such a beautiful car through a machine wash? That's like having a supermodel properly fit wife and taking her for a days shopping to buy a new outfit in Matalan.

[@LandLAutomotive]

I can't argue with that!

[@buzzpedrotti5401]

Fun to own but 1. Expensive 2. Small inside. Back seat for small people or hobbits. 3. Few storage areas 4. Wind noise above 60 mph with windows down or 70 mph with deadening devices employed is not nearly a comfortable at running under 50 mph. 6. Body flex and sounds are noticable. 7.. Worry about expensive repairs. 2014 US aE550a cabriolet.

[@LandLAutomotive]

What a magnificent engine you have under your hood! V8 E-Classes are exceptionally rare over here. The big difference in generations that I should've mentioned in the video is the cabin size; rear space in terms of width and legroom was greatly improved. Headroom in the rear is, of course, best with the roof down for taller passengers.

[@philnelson2607]

You’re missing the point of owning a cab, if you don’t like it buy a saloon. Simple

[@roninesce8362]

@Buzz Pedrotti if you are too sensitive though. I spent a 800 miles journey on rear seat with roof down during sunny day in summer with no complaints 😃

Nice car but I am more drawn to the Audi A5 Cabrio

[@buzzpedrotti5401]

I have a 2 wd MB 2014 e550a cab and my wife an Audi 2013 a5 2.0T quattro cab. Hers is more sure footed and lighter in the twisties and gets a few better mph. The Merc is much quicker and quieter and less ride harshness. The Audi interior seems nicer as does the B&O sound system. Both are under 70k miles and have been reliable. Both cost similar 3 years old with CPO warranty.
