Mercedes E-Class Estate E300d 4Matic AMG Line 5dr 9G-Tronic Review
Category: Estate car
Section: Version review

It's not cheap, but the Mercedes E-Class Estate is classy and impressively refined. It's also generally comfortable, easy to drive, well equipped and a compelling option in the luxury estate car sector. Crucially, its boot beats the BMW 5 Series Touring's and Volvo V90's for luggage room, although the V90 does have more spacious rear seats. The E300de plug-in hybrid has the best fuel economy of any equivalent PHEV once the battery is depleted.

The engine
See full engine specsThis is a more powerful version of the E220d's 2.0-litre diesel engine that has 261bhp and will get you from 0-62mph in 6.6sec. The official average fuel economy isn't anywhere near as good as the E220d's though.
