2 Mercedes-Benz E-Class estate

The new Mercedes-Benz E-Class estate will be priced from £37,935 when order books open in October.

Order books will open from October and the new model will be offered with the diesel-powered four-cylinder E220d initially, before the the six-cylinder E350 d and petrol 3.0-litre V6 Mercedes-AMG E 43 join the range later this year.

Pricing for the E350 d and E43 will be announced when ordering opens in October.

The E220d features Mercedes-Benz’s new four-cylinder 2.0-litre turbo-charged engine, which produces 194hp and 400 Nm. A 9G-Tronic automatic gearbox comes as standard. It offers a fuel consumption of 67.3 mpg and CO2 levels from 109g/km, and it can reach 62 mph from standstill in 7.7 seconds.

As standard, SE models come with Garmin Map Pilot navigation system; Agility Control suspension; Easy-Pack automatic powered tail gate; Parking Pilot including Parktronic and reversing camera; chrome roof rails; 64-colour selectable LED interior lighting; Keyless-Go starting function; heated front seats; DAB radio; and 17-inch alloys with a five-spoke design.

For an extra £2,495, AMG Line adds AMG exterior styling with 19-inch alloy wheels in titanium grey; upper dashboard finished in Artico leather; black ash wood trim; brushed stainless steel AMG sports pedals with black rubber studs; and a three-spoke AMG steering wheel wrapped in Nappa leather.

A Premium  options pack is priced at £2,795 and includes Keyless-Go Comfort package; Memory package; and a panoramic glass sunroof. For an additional £1,100, Premium Plus adds the Burmester surround sound system with 13 speakers; and a Multibeam LED Intelligent Light System.

Lane Tracking Package can be added for £595 and it includes Passive Blind Spot Assist and Active Lane Keeping Assist.

The more advanced Driving Assistance Plus package costs an additional £1,695, and includes Drive Pilot, which combines Steering Pilot, Distance Pilot Distronic, and Speed Limit Pilot. Steering Pilot detects road markings and actively assists the driver by one-sided braking, guiding the car to stay within its lane. Distance Pilot Distronic uses radars to maintain a set distance from the car in front, while Speed Limit Pilot detects a change in speed limit and automatically alters the car’s speed without intervention from the driver.

Active Brake Assist with cross-traffic function, Evasive Steering Assist, and Pre-Safe Impulse Side are also included in the Driving Assistance Plus option pack.

Comand Online is available for £1,495 and increases the standard 8.4-inch navigation screen to 12.3 inches. Customers can opt for the 12.3-inch cockpit display – creating a widescreen effect inside the cabin for £495.
