Mercedes Elegance E220 CDi Diesel Estate...

The estate version of the Mercedes E-Class majors on load carrying ability and comfort. It shares the same long distance smoothness of the saloon, but adds a huge boot space of almost 2,000 litres in total - considerably more than alternatives from BMW or Audi. It's well built too with a luxurious cabin, which although not especially modern, does have a sophisticated feel. There were some electrical issue on early models, but these were soon ironed out and later cars are extremely durable and reliable. Revisions in 2006 promises an end to any remaining electrical problems and add yet more technology, mainly for safety, as well as new engines.

There's a wide choice of four-cylinder turbo diesel engines in the E-Class estate, which suit its relaxed, long distance nature. The E220 CDI is the most frugal and offer decent pulling power but it's the E270 CDI and E320 CDI models which really stand out. More recent engine additions include an upgraded E220 CDI (from 2006) producing 170bhp, while the E280 CDI and E320 CDI share the same 3.0-litre V6 turbodiesel offering different power outputs. Both are exceptionally refined while, with more than 220bhp the E320 CDI is a genuine high-performance diesel.
