From November, Mercedes-Benz is launching the Estate version as another highly distinctive member of the E-Class family. Like the Saloon and CoupŽ, the Estate combines its own, elegant design with leadership in safety, comfort, quality and practicality.

A number of technical innovations have been incorporated into the new E-Class which no other car in this class is able to offer - from drowsiness detection to automatic emergency braking when an accident is recognised as imminent, and from Adaptive Highbeam Assist to the active bonnet.

Naturally, the Estate also features all these innovations. Plus an air suspension with self-levelling at the rear and unique new load compartment management features. This area can also accommodate an optional third row of seats, something unique among the competition.

The new Estate makes an athletic and practical, but also serene and safe impression. Its distinctive design character is based on the new Mercedes style, which had its debut in the S-Class and is now also represented in the C-Class. One of its characteristics is the interplay between concave and taut surfaces.

The side view reveals many new features, leaving no doubt about the identity of the new Estate. The intriguing design of the door sill panels, which are visually understated in the centre but feature a prominent light-catching contour towards the wheel arches, accentuates the dramatic overall effect of the side aspect. This is emphasised by the muscular, sweeping line on the rear section in front of the rear wheel. For further details, contact Al Haddad Motors on 17785454.
