The exterior highlight of the two-door AMG E53 Cabriolet is a signature vertical slat front grille with AMG badging, a soft-top roof, a huge Mercedes-Benz logo in the centre, and new LED headlamps with DRLS. It also comes with AMG Ride Control+ suspension which adjusts the ride quality according to the terrain.
