3.5-Liter V6 Power
The 2012 Mercedes-Benz E 350 is powered by a naturally aspirated 3.5-liter V6 engine producing 302 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque — numbers that deliver confident acceleration and smooth highway cruising in equal measure. This engine was one of Mercedes-Benz's most celebrated powerplants of the era, praised for its silky power delivery and long-term reliability when properly serviced.
7-Speed Sport Automatic Transmission
Paired with Mercedes-Benz's 7G-Tronic 7-speed automatic transmission with Sport Mode, this E 350 offers both effortless daily cruising and a more spirited driving character when you want it. Sport Mode sharpens throttle response and holds gears longer through corners, making this convertible feel genuinely engaging on winding roads. Rear-wheel drive completes the dynamic package, giving the E 350 Convertible a balanced, driver-focused feel that distinguishes it from front-wheel-drive luxury alternatives.Mercedes-Benz E-Class Features and Interior
What the E 350 Convertible Trim Delivers
The E 350 Convertible trim level sits at the heart of the E-Class lineup and comes generously equipped. Buyers can expect a well-appointed interior featuring leather seating surfaces, dual-zone automatic climate control, power-adjustable front seats with memory settings, and Mercedes-Benz's COMAND infotainment interface with navigation. The four-seat convertible layout is more usable than many open-top rivals, with rear seats that can comfortably accommodate adults on shorter trips.
Technology and Comfort
Standard technology on this generation of E-Class includes Bluetooth connectivity, a premium audio system, rain-sensing wipers, automatic headlights, and Mercedes-Benz's Pre-Safe collision anticipation system. The convertible top operates at the push of a button, lowering or raising in seconds, and the cabin is engineered to minimize wind buffeting even at highway speeds — a hallmark of Mercedes-Benz convertible design.Mercedes-Benz E-Class Reliability and Ownership
The W207-generation E-Class (2010-2017) has built a solid reputation among Mercedes-Benz enthusiasts and long-term owners. The 3.5-liter V6 in the E 350 is widely regarded as one of the more robust and low-drama engines in the Mercedes-Benz stable, with many examples reaching well over 150,000 miles when serviced on schedule. Common ownership considerations include keeping up with oil changes using the manufacturer-specified synthetic oil, replacing the air-fuel sensor around higher mileage intervals, and inspecting the convertible top mechanism periodically.
Owners consistently praise the E 350 Convertible for its balance of comfort, performance, and long-haul durability. Compared to some of its turbocharged successors, the naturally aspirated V6 can be simpler to maintain and less prone to the complexity-related issues that sometimes affect forced-induction engines. At this price point, a pre-purchase inspection from a qualified Mercedes-Benz independent specialist is always a smart move — and one R&A Auto Sales welcomes.Why Buy From R&A Auto Sales in Sacramento, CA
