Wagon version of latest E-Class has more room for people and bags, plus a dynamic roofline that’s reminiscent of the old CLS Shooting Brake car auto cars ⬇️
has been building aspirational wagons for almost 50 years, but in the new E-Class Estate it might just have come up with the most desirable yet. Previous E-Class wagons have mostly been fairly sensible, upright affairs, but the latest W214 load lugger that goes on sale in Europe this fall features an athletic-looking plunging roofline that gives the Estate a really dynamic appearance.
But comparing trunk dimensions of the old and new wagons shows the new car has definitely sacrificed a little space for style. While the seats-down figures say capacity has improved almost imperceptibly from 64.2 to 64.6 cu-ft , with the rear seats in place it actually falls back from 22.6 to 21.7 cu-ft .
Mercedes says more four-cylinder PHEVs with both diesel and petrol engines will come to Europe later, as will a six-cylinder diesel, but initially the only other engine options are two 2.0-liter mild. The E200 and E220d diesel are both lifted straight from the sedan and feature a 17 kW instead of 15 kW e-motor this time around.
Like their sedan brothers, the E-Class wagons can be optioned with Mercedes’ Airmatic air suspension on all four corners, but the Estate goes one better than the sedan by offering standard air suspension at the rear of every model.Other than that, it’s the same E-Class package we met back in April when Mercedes revealed the 2024 sedan, which means it comes loaded with tech, starting with the standarddisplay that can be extended to the passenger side of the car as an option.
Other, potentially more useful tech includes Digital Key and an automated parking system, both of which are fitted as standard. That kind of parking has to be done with the driver in the car, but upgrades to remote parking and memory parking are available optionally, as is pre-installation for automatic valet parking, though that’s dependent on the passing of relevant laws and suitable parking garages being built with the right hardware.
