The E-Class Estate is now in its fifth generation since the first in 1977 and fills out the model range with the recently-introduced Saloon and Coupé.
Mercedes-Benz claims a class-leading position in capacity, ranking the newcomer as the largest estate car in the premium segment with a load space that can be expanded from 695 litres up to 1950 litres. The area is large enough to accommodate an optional third row of seats.
Features include a folding load compartment floor which can be raised up and secured in various positions to increase usable height and a securing net to prevent loads from sliding around in transit.
The market in Ireland will be built around the E200CDI and E220CDI diesel versions, each of which comes with BlueEFFICIENCY low emissions technology and low road tax.
