Fashionable model names from the marketing speech Mercedes has, at least for this car not necessary: The wagon version of the E-Class is again T model - like over 30 years ago the hatchback version of the W 123 Not Sportback and not Sports Tourer, just wagon.
Simply is nothing else but the new E-T. The concentration of technology expertise of limousine from drowsiness detection to automatic emergency braking when an accident is acute danger from Adaptive Highbeam Assist to the active bonnet of course also has the combination. Moreover, Mercedes has managed to increase from almost unchanged external dimensions to the interior considerably. A load capacity of up to 1950 liters at a length of 4,895 millimeters speaks for good use of space, which includes the now again edgier body style with the right steeply angled rear end helps. Which space limitations, however brings a decidedly "sporty" body shape with it, for example, shows the Opel Insignia Sports Tourer: Despite 20 millimeters more external length he only holds a maximum of 1,530 liters.
Management for the loading
But simply just building a large trunk was the Swabian tinkerers of course, well, simple. So they have devised a complete "Volume Management": If the vehicle is to be loaded from behind, the driver can open the standard "Easy-Pack" tailgate electrically connected to the ignition key or pressing the handle. The "quickfold" system works then the rear seat back to the cargo area. This requires either the head restraints nor the seats are adjusted beforehand. By wires unlocked both the driver and rear seat backs folded around them, so a flat surface layer is formed.
A "load management" is also standard on board. This includes for example the Easy-Pack folding load compartment floor, which increases the usable loading gauge. It can be placed and locked in different positions. Basically, the standard specification includes the Easy-Pack load compartment cover and the load securing net. Unique in this vehicle segment, also the optional folding bench seat is in the hold.
Standard air suspension
Who can invite a lot need a taut chassis. In order to still provide reasonable ride comfort can equip the Mercedes station wagon from an adaptive damping system. In addition, also ensures the standard air suspension with self-leveling at the rear axle, that the combination even when fully loaded can always use the whole travel. With its slightly firmer dampers and stabilizers to the station wagon without sacrificing ride comfort to be as agile as the sedan.
Their engines also provide the drive. For the launch in November, the volume of diesel at the center, including the 220 CDI with 125 kW/170 hp, while the dual-charged 250 CDI with 150 kW/204 hp and the six-cylinder 350 CDI with 170 kW/231 hp. The two powerful gasoline engines 350 CGI with 215 kW/292 hp and 500 kW/388 hp with 285 should be good only homeopathic quantities.
In spring 2010, followed by the modern, turbocharged four-cylinder 200 CGI and 250 CGI and an entry-level diesel. All versions except the V8 besides that the Blue Efficiency logo that it fails as a recognition for particularly economical models. A start-stop system or a hybrid drive is not yet available. Prices for the model available from November start at around 44,800 euros.
