New E-Class Estate: full details and photos unveiled!

W212 Wagon

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.

    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?

    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!

    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.
