Mercedes-Benz E-Class Cabriolet (A124) (A124)

When Mercedes-Benz finally gave the W124 a folding roof, the result was one of the most refined four-seat cabriolets of the 1990s — an open E-Class built with the same over-engineered rigidity that had already made the sedan a benchmark.

Launched in 1991 on the A124 chassis, the cabriolet carried the E-Class nameplate with a fully automated soft top, pop-up roll bars, and the same multi-link rear suspension and inline-four, inline-six, and diesel engines that defined the W124 range. Sindelfingen reinforced the structure extensively to preserve the closed-car feel; inside, leather, wood, and wind-deflector engineering made long-distance open-air touring genuinely comfortable.

Production ran from 1991 to 1997, and Mercedes-Benz built 33,952 examples of the A124 E-Class Cabriolet — a substantial run for a premium four-seat convertible that bridged the W124 era and the CLK cabriolets that followed.
