I'll just come out and say it: I absolutely love convertibles. Sure, for us Mumbaikars, conditions are far from favourable to ride an open-top automobile. Our summers are too humid; it rains a lot, and, of course, the air quality in the city has deteriorated to an extent that Delhi air seems cleaner. But with the 2023 Mercedes E53 Cabriolet in my driveway. I decided to set aside skepticism and take my parents on a long drive.
The E53 Cabriolet is a sibling of one of Mercedes' highest-selling models in the country, the E-Class sedan. While it bears a strong resemblance, it is equally distinct. It is for the very first time that an E53 has got the Mercedes-AMG's iconic Panamericana grille. Flanked by brand-new headlights and bold vertical slats, the grille immediately draws attention. Changes are a bit limited on the rear end to new taillamps and quad exhaust pipes, but nonetheless, this AMG is a feast for the eyes from every possible angle.
