It is almost 2 inches longer than the previous generation, and all the benefits accrue to interior space. Mercedes claims to have increased interior space by 2 inches, but it feels like considerably more. Even better, the back seat actually does have enough room for two adults to travel comfortably farther than the end of the driveway. You might not want to take a couple friends for a daylong jaunt, but no one is going to get out of the backseat looking like the Hunchback of Notre Dame. Rear-seat knee room, for example, has grown 1.5 inches in the coupe and 1.7 inches in the
cabriolet. Mercedes made ingress and egress to the rear seat easier with handy quick-release front seats that slide forward and up. Seatbelt presenters automatically extend forward from behind the door opening to make the seatbelts handy for front seat occupants, then retract. The coupe's rear seats are split 60/40, providing access to coupe's capacious 10.4 cubic-foot trunk. |
