What does it cost?
For The E-Class Estate is bigger and more practical than most rival executive wagons. It has a range of potent engines and lots of safety kit.
Against Some of the interior plastics are a wee bit disappointing. It's pricey and the controls are fiddly.
What Car? says
As estate cars go, they don’t come much bigger than the Mercedes E-Class Estate. It’s a little disappointing in other areas, but there’s no arguing with the space on offer.

Buyer's notes
Target Price team says:
The Mercedes E-Class is one of the most practical estates you can buy, with a huge, well-shaped boot and several thoughtful touches that make life that little bit easier.
Each version comes on a different suspension set-up, which changes the car’s character. The SE’s soft suspension is comfy, but the handling is a little soggy. AMG Sport models are firmer, while the models with air suspension are terrific, but pricey.
There’s a wide range of engines to choose from, too, but we reckon the E350 CDI diesel is the pick of the range because it’s smooth and strong, and averages over 45mpg. True, the E220 CDI, E250 CDI and E300 Hybrid models are even more efficient, but they sound far too grumbly, which ruins the car’s refinement.

Our pick of the range
Mercedes-Benz E-Class Estate E350 CDI BlueEFF. Avantgarde 5dr
The fuel economy and high list price may be seen as drawbacks by some buyers, but we think this is the best model in the range. It's worth the extra it costs to buy and run.
