Mercedes E Class Estate – Prices and Spec

The long awaited new Mercedes E Class Estate is now on sale.

The super-practical estate has had a restyle to make the most out of the E’s functional design and the new model now boasts the biggest load capacity in its class.

The massive internal space now means drivers can fit an object that measures 172.5cm x 100cm x 62cm into its cavernous rear and the rear seats have been redesigned to allow them to fold flat with just one finger, creating 1,950 litres of space. 

The new Merc comes with a Easy-Pack electronic tailgate, which allows you to remotely operate the boot with the key fob and fold the load compartment cover out of the way too, making it extra easy to stash all your stuff. Self-levelling air suspension also comes as standard to ensure that ride and handling aren’t compromised when you’ve got a big load on board.

There are three diesel and four petrol units to choose from, with most engines available with Mercedes BlueEFFICIENCY technology. If you want to be really green, you can wait for the E350 BlueTEC which Mercedes claim will be the world’s cleanest diesel engine and will be available from June.

On the road prices for the new Mercedes E Class Estate start from £29,785
