Mercedes-Benz E-Class Estate: prices, specs and CO2 emissions

The new Mercedes E-Class Estate is on sale now, priced from £57,930.

Following the launch of the saloon variant, earlier this year, Mercedes has expanded the line-up with a practical estate version.

The executive model is bigger and more technologically advanced, but retains a familiar silhouette. Styling at the front and rear is familiar to the outgoing car, fused with modern touches such as flush-fit retractable door handles.

Compared to its predecessor, the new E-Class Estate is wider by 28mm. The car's wheelbase has also increased by 22mm, giving more space for rear seat passengers.

The load compartment can be expanded from 615 litres, with the rear seats in place, to up to 1,830 litres, when the seats are folded. In the plug-in hybrid model, the luggage capacity is 460–1,675 litres.

On the inside, the E-Class ditches its retro-style interior for a modern, digitally-led cabin.

A floating digital instrument cluster sits alongside a new central touchscreen that measures 14.4-inches. It's mounted portrait style, unlike the screens in the C-Class and S-Class. A third display, positioned in front of the passenger, can be optioned to create a 'Superscreen'.

The entire car is linked to a new type of on-board computer, which Mercedes claims reduces the cars reliance on hardware. As a result there's very few physical switches and the car uses artifical intelligence to identify routines and automate certain functions.
