What do 'those in the know' have to say about the stylish Mercedes E-Class which is one of our current Best Buys?
We've rounded this up for you.
Car Magazine
Some estates are more engaging to drive, but none are as accomplished an all-rounder as the Mercedes E-Class Estate. The next 5-series Touring and XF Sportbrake are going to have to be very special to have a chance of toppling the Benz."
Parkers
"The Mercedes-Benz E-Class Estate is an admirable effort in a very accomplished sector. It offers more choice than most rivals thanks to the inclusion of the hot AMG models alongside more affordable diesels. There’s no hybrid version just yet, but it’s fairly clear an E 350 e plug-in should follow soon to align with the Saloon line-up."
WhatCar?
"The Mercedes E Class Estate may not be the best for passenger space but the boot is huge and it's an effortless long distance cruiser"
The Telegraph
"It’s unusual to find a car that does everything as nicely as the Mercedes E-class Estate does. It excels in almost every way, with a huge boot, a range of powerful, refined engines, and oodles of badge appeal making it an attractive car for families."
Top Gear
"The new Mercedes E-Class Estate. A mighty fine, well-engineered thing based, predictably, on the new E-Class saloon – sharing its engines, interior, drivetrain and technologies. It’s not the boxy old thing it once was, either. Merc has opted to sacrifice a few litres of luggage space for a CLS-style roofline, and the result are, we think, rather good-looking. Our verdict? Merc's big load-lugger has discovered a sense of style."
AutoExpress
"It should come as no surprise that the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Estate is just as alluring and desirable as the saloon. It retains that car's elegantly styled, solidly built and tech-laden interior, plus its excellent comfort and refinement, and adds into the mix an sizeable boot."
