Mercedes-Benz E-Class (C207)

The C207/A207 Mercedes-Benz E-Class are coupé and convertible models based on the W204 C-Class sedan chassis.  It was produced between 2009 and 2017 as the successor to the previous C209/A209 CLK-Class.  The body styles of the range are:

 2-door coupé (C207)
 2-door convertible (A207)

Unlike its predecessor, high-performance AMG models were not offered.  E350 and E400 coupé models were also available in all-wheel drive 4MATIC variants from 2012. 

It was replaced by the C238/A238 E-Class in 2017. 

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.  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. 

Initial petrol models used the CGI BlueEFFICIENCY name, with the exception of the E300 BlueEFFICIENCY and E500.  With the introduction of the Mercedes 7G-Tronic automatic transmission in 2011, models subsequently dropped the CGI moniker, along with the BlueEFFICIENCY name after the 2013 facelift.  Diesel models with the nine-speed automatic transmission were also called BlueTEC instead of CDI BlueEFFICIENCY, and facelifted models were simply called CDI or BlueTEC. 

Mercedes-Benz originally intended for the C207/A207 to be called CLK, but moved over to the E-Class name later during development.

Convertible models are available with Mercedes' AIRSCARF system, which provides neck-level heating for front occupants, and the AIRCAP windshield spoiler and wind deflector system, deflecting air over the cabin for reduced draft and wind noise.
