Masters of design

Having already graced Detroit with its widely celebrated world premiere, the eagerly anticipated Asia debut of the new E-Class Cabriolet will be realized tomorrow. With its trademark motto of "Four seasons, four people," this model will bring its superior comfort, stunning elegance and year-round usability to this exciting market.

With this vehicle, Mercedes-Benz will again prove its leadership in cutting-edge technology with the world's first AIRCAP automatic draught-stop, which allows the driver and passengers to reduce turbulence and interior noise level with the touch of a button. Another advanced feature that makes open-top driving a highly pleasurable experience year-round is the upgraded AIRSCARF neck-level heating system allowing the driver and front passenger to enjoy warm necks regardless of their size.

Moreover, thanks to its acoustic fabric soft top as standard, the E-Class Cabriolet offers one of the most peaceful interiors of its segment. The soft top's exceptionally high-quality insulation absorbs and reduces external noise, allowing for an extraordinarily quiet drive.

Fully-equipped with eco-friendly BlueEfficiency technology, this new model also enjoys fuel efficiency without compromising outstanding power.

Another vehicle prepared to shine at Auto China will be the new C-Class Estate, which will witness its China premiere - this model positions Mercedes-Benz as the first automaker to introduce a luxury station wagon to the country.

Already enjoying enormous popularity and success in Europe, this streamlined and sporty station wagon will allow Chinese customers to enjoy the versatility of an SUV while retaining the sleek look of a sedan.

Combined with impressive spaciousness, allowing it to hold a maximum of 1500 liters and thus giving it a larger load capacity than any other premium-class estate in its market segment, the C-Class Estate is shaping into an exclusive and novel luxury vehicle sure to fascinate China.

Furthermore, this model maximizes fuel efficiency while at the same time boosting performance, as the new C-Class consumes 12% less petrol than its previous generation without compromising the powerful drive delivery.

Style and safety

Effortlessly reinterpreting the concept of fascination and responsibility, the F 800 Style is sure to awe and inspire during its Asia premiere at Auto China.

With the perfect combination of leading green technology with excellent exterior design, the five-seat concept vehicle F 800 Style marks a milestone for Mercedes-Benz in achieving its vision of zero-emission mobility.

Mercedes-Benz has always been dedicated to reconciling responsibility for the environment with luxury. The new F 800 Style not only achieves this, but also provides traditional Mercedes strengths in design, safety, comfort, and performance.

Expertly blending power and fuel efficiency, the F 800 Style demonstrates the future of eco-friendly technology that never compromises luxury or performance.

Using an all-new flexible multi-drive platform, this model can operate as a plug-in hybrid vehicle or run on fuel cells - a feat no other large saloon can boast.

As a plug-in hybrid, the F 800 Style consumes only 2.9 liters of fuel per 100km, which means its CO2 emissions are a mere 68 grams per kilometer. Moreover, while powered by fuel cells, its only emissions are water vapor.

Remarkably, the F 800 Style is able to maintain this environmental consciousness while reaching a top speed of 250km/h and accelerating from zero to 100km/h in a mere 4.8 seconds - a performance comparable to a sports car.

Beyond all these features, the F 800 Style also dazzles in its design, created in close cooperation with the advanced design studios in Germany and Italy. Its exterior is marked by a long wheelbase, short body overhangs, and a sensually flowing roof line - giving the entire vehicle a sculptural character.

It is with this blend of superior performance, eco-friendly technology, and of course luxurious style that Mercedes-Benz sets the standard for the future of the automobile industry.

Beyond this unforgettable debut, another premiere that is set to leave Auto China visitors breathless is a new model that looks into the fascinating future of Mercedes-Benz technology - a future that looks bright indeed.
