Featured Mercedes-Benz Review: ‘PREMIUM ESTATEMENT OF PRACTICALITY’

(76/110)

Car and Driving’s Independent Used Review of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Estate [W213] (2020 - 2023)

Added 3rd July, 2023

Before this ‘W213’-series E-Class Estate model appeared, the Mercedes of executive station wagons was perceived as a practical but slightly over-sensible choice in this sector. In this fifth generation form though - and particularly in the updated version of that W213 model that appeared in 2020 - it proved to be a much smarter choice, in more ways than one. In this form, the E-Class Estate feels like a car that’s pricey but which offers a compelling value proposition. It drives with genuine polish, yet is capable of stepping from cruiser to carouser without breaking a sweat. Operating the car is relatively easy and you rarely feel as if this Mercedes is imposing its will on you, unlike certain rivals from this period we could mention. The abiding impression is that this is a very carefully considered vehicle, developed by a company steeped in a proud engineering tradition. If you want to carry properly hefty loads in a car of this kind from the 2020-2023 era, yet want to do so with more than a modicum of style, this is one to place right up there with its premium rivals. It’s better by design.
