Mercedes-Benz Flagship Convertible Returns After 44 Years

2017 Mercedes-Benz S-Class Release Date

Summer of 2016 is when we can expect the new 2017 Mercedes-Benz S-Class release date. The Mercedes-AMG SL65 Cabriolet is getting the most attention, for good reason though, because it is the highest trim of the brand’s flagship model. For many though, a quarter of a million dollars is a little too much to spend on a car. Luckily, the cabriolet model will be available across the board from the S550 to the AMG S65.

2017 Mercedes-Benz S550 Cabriolet

Even with the entry-level 2017 Mercedes-Benz S-Class, you get a V8 with 449 horsepower and a 9-speed automatic transmission, which is also found in the Mercedes-Benz GLC. That gives you almost 75 percent of the power of the S65 for less than 43 percent of the price. Given its status at the top of the Mercedes-Benz ladder. The S550 is even available with all the same driver-assistance features as the S65 or the S600. These prices are reflective of the coupe and sedan models, so the cabriolet prices will likely differ a little, but should remain proportional.

2017 Mercedes-Benz S600 Release Date

The S600 has been a tradition since 1991 with the introduction of the 600SEL. There is just something about a V12 that is both intimidating and irresistible at the same time. It is meant to be top luxury, made without help from AMG. This means the S600 is not hand-crafted, but it still offers similar performance and luxury as the S65 with a smaller price tag.

It makes sense because you might not be able to drive a cabriolet in the winter anyway.
