Mercedes Benz E-class Estate
Being a wagon, the focus of the E-class Estate is on carrying things and this is where the car really stands out from the crowd — and it is not only goods that can be swallowed in the massive 1950litre capacity interior. All E-class Estates come standard with a rear-facing third row seat suitable for two children up to 140cm in heightIf it’s going to be goods rather than kids you carry in the back, Mercedes offers a no cost option of a hydraulically operated load compartment floor as part of its Easy-pack system instead of the third row seat. At the press of a button the floor is lifted and moves rearward 400mm to let you to easily place up to 200kg in the back. Press the button again and the floor returns to its position within the car.
Inside, the rear load space, which features an automatically opening cover, can be expanded via the split fold rear seat back and by removing the seat bases and folding the backs flat to the floor, the E-class Estate offers a full 2000mm load length.
Inside, the seats are typically comfortable and supportive and it isn’t difficult to achieve a good driving position via the fully adjustable seat and steering wheel.
Passengers, particularly in the rear, benefit from slightly better headroom and legroom than in the sedan due to the wagon’s different roofline and seat placement Power controls windows, door mirrors and driver seat height and backrest adjustment. Climate control, cruise control, and a quality six-stack in-dash CD audio system are also standard.
In terms of active safety, the E-class Estate is fitted standard with anti-lock brakes with Brake Assist and ESP stability control. The benefits of using a computer controlled brake by wire system means that other features can be added such as the Tailback Assist, which is activated via the cruise control and automatically brakes the car to a stop when the accelerator is let go in stop go traffic at speeds under 15km/h.
Passive safety features include eight airbags – two-stage driver and passenger, front and rear side bags and side curtain bags – and seatbelt pre-tensioners and load limiters. The active light system also improves safety by increasing illumination of the road in a bend by up to 90 percent. Buy Buy Nissan Cars in Wicklow
