After the sedan went on sale in Europe and the United States, the longroof variant of the 2017 Mercedes-Benz E-Class now has a price of its own. In its domestic market of Germany, the mid-size luxury station wagon starts from €48,665 and tops at €50,073.
€48,665 buys you the entry-level E 200 Estate, which boasts 184 PS (135 kW) and 300 Nm of torque between 1,200 and 4,000 rpm. The E 250 Estate, on the other hand, is rated at 211 PS (155 kW) and 350 Nm of torque.
The 2.0-liter turbo diesel that’s sold under the E 220 d handle isn't bad either, packing 194 PS (143 kW) and 400 Nm of torque between 1,600 and 2,800 rpm. All three models are matched to a 9G-Tronic transmission. The most frugal of the lot is, of course, the diesel. On the New European Driving Cycle, the E 200 d Estate consumes 4.5 liters of fuel in the city and 3.9 outside of it.
Regardless of model, the 2017 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Estate has enough room for the entire family. With 670 liters of trunk space and a maximum cargo capacity of 1,820 liters with the rear seats folded flat into the floor, the E-Class Estate is up there with the best the segment has to offer. In terms of optional extras, there are a few that should be mentioned. The Keyless-Go package with hands-free access, for example, adds convenience for €952.
The Air Body Control all-round air suspension, on the other hand, is on the pricey side of things at €1,785. If, however, you’re interested in the 12.3-inch diagonal digital instrument cluster, this will set you back €1,011.50. Wireless charging for Qi-enabled smartphones? That’ll be €238, thank you!
