Following the debut of the W214 2023 Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedan, the E-Class Estate counterpart (S214) has been revealed. The new S214 model shares many features with its sedan sibling while providing enhanced versatility from its wagon body.

The S214 E-Class Estate boasts larger dimensions compared to its predecessor. It measures 4,949 mm in length (+4 mm), 1,880 mm in width (+28 mm), and 1,469 mm in height (+1 mm), with a wheelbase of 2,961 mm (+22 mm).

From a styling perspective, the E-Class Estate closely resembles its sedan counterpart. The front fascia is reminiscent of the Mercedes-EQ models, featuring a black panel-like surface that connects the grille with the headlamps.

There’s also an optional illuminated grille for all trims, and wheel sizes ranging up to 21 inches contribute to the overall aesthetic of the vehicle.

Minimum boot space has slightly decreased compared to its predecessor, with non-plug-in hybrid variants providing 615 litres of space (-25 litres), while plug-in hybrid (PHEV) variants offer 460 litres (-20 litres) when the 40:20:40 split-folding rear bench is in its default position.

However, the maximum boot space has increased, with combustion engine variants providing up to 1,830 litres (+10 litres) and plug-in hybrids offering 1,675 litres (+15 litres) when the rear bench is folded down.

The S214 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Estate will be available in two petrol variants at market launch. The E200 model is equipped with a M254 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine, delivering 204 PS and 320 Nm. This engine is accompanied by a 48-volt mild hybrid system, incorporating an integrated starter-generator (ISG) that provides an additional e-boost of 23 PS and 205 Nm.

For those seeking an eco-friendlier option, the E300e plug-in hybrid combines the M254 engine with a more powerful electric motor, generating 129 PS and 440 Nm. The total system output reaches 313 PS and 550 Nm. The electric motor is linked to a 25.4-kWh battery pack positioned behind the rear seats, providing a claimed all-electric range of up to 113 km.

All E-Class Estate variants feature a 9-speed automatic transmission as standard with the electric motor, power electronics, and transmission cooler integrated into the transmission. Mercedes-Benz has plans to introduce inline-six engines, some of which will be electrified, to the E-Class Estate lineup in the future.

On the suspension front, the E-Class Estate come equipped with single-chamber air suspension on the rear axle. The mild hybrid models feature the Agility Control steel spring setup with selective damping as standard, while the optional all-round Airmatic air suspension is available for enhanced ride quality.

Inside, the E-Class Estate shares its interior design with the sedan variant. The highlight is the MBUX Superscreen that adds a front passenger display that extends to the central display.

The Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) system offers a wide range of features, including the Hey Mercedes voice assistant, augmented reality navigation, Interior Assistant, streaming services, personalization options, Mercedes me Store, and in-car apps such as TikTok, Angry Birds, Webex, Zoom, Vivaldi, and Pocket Casts.

In terms of safety, the E-Class Estate is equipped with various driver assistance systems, including Attention Assist, Active Brake Assist, Active Lane Keeping Assist, Parking Package with a reversing camera, and Speed Limit Assist.

For additional safety and convenience, the optional Driving Assistance Package Plus offers features like Active Steering Assist, Active Distance Assist Distronic, junction start-off, Active Lane Change Assist, Active Emergency Stop Assist, Evasive Steering Assist, Active Blind Spot Assist, and Pre-Safe Plus.
