Cruising on PCH up the coast of California, the glowing sun, palm trees swaying and the ocean air hitting your face makes for the perfect summer road trip—especially when you are behind the wheel of the 2018 Mercedes-Benz E 400 Cabriolet. “It’s a stunning car with or without the top down,” says General Manager of Mercedes-Benz of Laguna Niguel, Pat Bolter. “Everyone will look at you while you’re driving this car. It looks great, has plenty of power, safety and great storage in the trunk for road trip essentials and beach accessories.”

The Cabriolet has features that were made for long road trips, providing comfort and convenience while giving you the option of having the top down to take in all the stunning natural beauty that Southern California has to offer. “The roof goes up or down in 20 seconds at any speed up to 31 mph,” says Bolter.
“The E 400 is a very spacious car that’s great for road trips. It’s extremely comfortable. It has much more leg space and headroom compared to its predecessor, the E 300,” says Bolter. Adding to the comfort are the hand-stitched seats and an air scarf on the headrest. “The air scarf is a great feature because it keeps the passenger warm if you have the top down and there are chillier winds,” says Bolter. Whether you are traveling a long distance or a short trip to the beach, the MercedesBenz E 400 will take you there with ease, safety and convenience. And with 329 horsepower, it will take you there fast. “This car is the ultimate road trip vehicle,” says Bolter. “There are radars in this car to guide you along roads at whatever speed you wish to drive, so when you’re looking off the coast at the incredible views, you won’t swerve off into another lane.” Sounds like a sweet summer ride, Cali-style.
