Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class Cabriolet (A209) (A209)

Refined rather than reinvented, the second-generation CLK Cabriolet kept the formula that had made the A208 a sales success — and stretched it across a longer production run with updated styling, safety, and powertrain choices.

The A209 arrived in 2003 on an evolved W209 platform shared with the C209 coupé: crisper lines, improved aerodynamics, and a wider spread of engines from efficient four-cylinders through AMG V8s. The power-folding soft top remained, as did the CLK's positioning as Mercedes-Benz's approachable four-seat open car — less exotic than an SL, more sporting than the E-Class cabriolet that would eventually succeed it.

Production continued until 2010, by which time Mercedes-Benz had built 78,066 examples of the A209 CLK Cabriolet — the most numerous CLK convertible generation and the last before the E-Class Cabriolet and later C-Class Cabriolet assumed the role.
