The full details of the new E-Class Estate are here. The new E-Class Estate measures 4895mm long, 1854mm wide and 1471mm tall and can carry up to a maximum of 1950 litres. It looks like a pretty sweet wagon really, with a proper wagon-like roofline. Give me this anytime rather than a fancy elongated hatchback with a sloping roofline!
A total of 10 engines will be available with the new W212 Estate, with an initial 5 engines offered – the E220 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY, E250 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY, E350 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY, E 350 CGI BlueEFFICIENCY and the V8-powered E500.
Like most estate vehicles that are anticipated to carry heavier loads than their sedan brethren, the W212 Estate features an automatic self-levellling suspension at the rear as standard equipment, which helps ensure the ride height remains at the same level no matter what the vehicle’s load is. The suspension setup has been modified over the sedan version for the wagon – this means its got stiffer shock absorbers and torsion bar stabilisers.

Do they plan to sell these estates in Malaysia too. CBU or CKD?
Any plans for sale in Malaysia? CBU or CKD?
1st! nice car! macam naik LRT laa
1st!
Sure NV multi will add this to its new coffin movers range.
i wonder if there are word between beauty and ugly…
Not sure why it should be called a Coffin Mover range, but here in Europe Combi or Estate cars are very popular for many practical reasons besides also MPV.
Not sure why Estate/Combi or Station Wagon cars never caught on in Malaysia, maybe because Malaysians prefer MPV? or simply because Estate cars are usually European make and cost too much in terms of value for money?
kereta bawa jenazah!
hey did you guys see the car pulling the horse's track? i have no idea with the horse situation
the last thing to whomever bought the estate/wagon version is to tint the cargo area window black, as it'll definitely look like a HEARSE!
if u want an estate, Audi's the best looking among the german cars
We got the W211 estate and its definately practical. Great to drive long distance with loads of luggage, without the dragging sensation with most sedans or cheaper wagons.
