The C207/A207 Mercedes-Benz E-Class are the coupé and convertible versions of the fourth generation Mercedes-Benz E-Class, produced between 2009 and 2017 as the successor to the previous C209/A209 CLK-Class.^[1][2] The body styles of the range are:

• 2-door coupé (C207)


• 2-door convertible (A207)

Unlike its predecessor, high-performance AMG models were not offered.^[3] E350 and E400 coupé models were also available in all-wheel drive 4MATIC variants from 2012.^[4][5]

It was replaced by the C238/A238 E-Class in 2017.^[6]

Development and launch

The C207/A207 E-Class shares its platform with the W204 C-Class sedan, featuring identical wheelbases, and similar axle track lengths.^[7] While the W212 E-Class sedan is built at the Sindelfingen plant, the E-Class C207 coupé is built in Bremen alongside the W204 C-Class.^[8]

Initial petrol models used the CGI BlueEFFICIENCY name, with the exception of the E300 BlueEFFICIENCY and E500.^[9] With the introduction of the Mercedes 7G-Tronic automatic transmission in 2011,^[10] models subsequently dropped the CGI moniker, along with the BlueEFFICIENCY name after the 2013 facelift.^[11] Diesel models with the nine-speed automatic transmission were also called BlueTEC instead of CDI BlueEFFICIENCY,^[12] and facelifted models were simply called CDI or BlueTEC.^[11]

Mercedes-Benz originally intended for the C207/A207 to be called CLK, but moved over to the E-Class name later during development.^[13]
