Now in its seventh generation, the new E-Class does what all the rest did - classes up the concept of a big wagon.
You know what to expect with an E-Class estate. It’s a load lugger, pure and simple. Mercedes caters for very nearly every other niche out there with the rest of the model range, now more than ever, so the wagon can focus on the most possible space for passengers, luggage, pets, musical instruments and whatever else needs to be carried. It’s always been that way, for 45 years and six generations; for as long as there continues to be an E-Class, hopefully, it’ll stay the same.
That the first line of the new S214 E-Class estate press release talks about dimensions shows that old habits very much die hard when it comes to Stuttgart station wagons. This is a wider car than before with a longer wheelbase as well , so it’s more accommodating inside: there’s more elbow, knee, and leg room for those on the rear bench. Boot capacity is a chunky 615 litres, expandable to 1,830 litres. For the plug-in hybrid model, those figures drop to 460-1,675 litres.
Wagon fans will be pleased to see an air-sprung rear axle as standard on all models, ideal for keeping an E-Class on an even keel when loaded up for a tip run or similar. Those who need to lug more about should be encouraged by a 2,100kg braked towing capacity, or an unbraked max of 750kg. The E-Class can even take e-bikes, thanks to a tongue weight of up to 84kg. For the ultimate in ride comfort and control, Airmaric with ADS+ continuously adjustable damping is an optional extra.
Speaking of which, the load lugger launches with three engine choices: the 204hp mild hybrid E200 petrol, the 197hp mild hybrid E220d diesel, and the 308hp plug-in E300e. Once more, with upwards of 60 miles of EV running claimed for the PHEV, Mercedes reckons lots of the E300’s journeys as a wagon could happen without the ICE starting. Further mild hybrid models are coming, as well as - interestingly - additional plug-in hybrids with diesel power.
Mercedes hasn’t yet announced UK pricing or spec for the new E-Class estate, though with the saloon imminent this surely won’t be far behind. Given the outgoing car is still listed on MBUK’s site from £50,835 and the new C-Class equivalent kicks off at £47,115, we’d expect the S214 E to start at somewhere around £55k. The nation's labs will have never travelled in such luxury.
