Mercedes E-Class estate

From £36,660 Available: Now

THE Mercedes-Benz E-Class estate has long been the definitive premium load-lugger, and this all-new version is no different, offering more capacity with seats up or down than its rivals from BMW and Audi.

But it’s so much more than a posh van for well-to-do antiques dealers – it offers a stunning cabin with the kind of refinement you’d expect from the luxury S-Class. Entry-level four-cylinder diesels arrive in October, but you can order one now. More powerful six-cylinder diesels will follow, along with two high-power AMG versions with all-wheel drive – perfect for moving that wardrobe during a snowstorm.
