The Mercedes-Benz E-Class Estate is the flexible estate in the upper medium-size category. Effortless superiority, success and prestige are the attributes which define its character. The front of the Estate radiates the effortless superiority typical of the E-Class. The defining features are the steeply angled radiator grille that makes the arrow-shaped bonnet appear particularly long, the upright, dominant radiator grille, the distinctive form of the headlamp units, muscular-looking wings with prominently flared wheel arches as well as a front bumper which creates a marked sense of breadth. The defining features of the Estate’s characteristic side design are the long profile with its pronounced wedge shape, the unmistakable, taut roof line, the elegant roof rails, the steep, downward-tapering D pillar, the beltline and the structuring line which rise towards the rear of the vehicle and the dinstinctivelycontoured rear wings. The E-Class Estate comes with one of the following four exhaust tailpipe designs, depending on the engine and specification: single pipe / not visible, single pipe / visible, twin-pipe / oval, twin-pipe / rectangular.The load compartment of the E-Class Estate is just as sophisticated and elegant in design as the rest of the interior. With the EASY-PACK quickfoldthe seats are automatically folded down by pulling the handles in the C and D-pillars, the backrests can be folded in such a way that the compartment floor is almost completely level. Seat cushions do not need to be folded and the backrests are easily folded back into position by hand. The EASY-PACK load compartment cover screens the load from the sun’s rays as well as prying eyes. The load compartment volume behind the second row of seats is 695 litres, with a folding load compartment floor that creates an additional 132 litres of stowage space under the load compartment floor. An optional third seat row in the load compartment turns the S212 into something of a “7-seater”. The folding seats, which are positioned with their backs to the direction of travel, can accommodate two children up to a height of 1.4 metres and a weight of 50 kg. Safety considerations are taken care of by head restraints and three-point seatbelts. Automatic opening and closing of the tailgate is equipped as standard for the first time in the E-Class Estate (S212). The opening angle of the tailgate can be individually programmed in order to provide our customers with the greatest possible flexibility, the tailgate opens fully when delivered from the works. It then reaches a height of 2.06 metres. For more information contact your closest Mercedes-Benz East Rand dealer.
