Mercedes-Benz finally brought the cabriolet shape back to India in the form of the all-new Mercedes-AMG E 53 4MATIC+ Cabriolet. launched at a price of Rs. 1.30 Cr, the E 53 Cabriolet isn't the most accessible convertible you can get, but it's amongst the handful of two-door, four-seater convertibles currently available in India.
