Mercedes-Benz E-Class Estate and GLC Coupe (New Engine)


Mercedes-Benz has expanded the E-Class Estate and GLC Coupe lineup in the United Kingdom by adding new engines to both vehicles.

The new Mercedes-Benz E-Class Estate gains three new units, starting with the 2.0-liter diesel that equips the 200d version, which kicks off from £ 36,735 in the SE grade. It delivers 65.7 mpg UK (54.7 mpg US / 4.3 lt/100 km) and emits 109 g/km of CO2.


Next comes the E350d SE, with its 3.0-liter V6 that produces 258 horsepower, delivers up to 48.7 mpg UK (40.5 mpg US / 5.8 lt/100 km) and emits 140 g/km of CO2. Prices for this version start from £ 47,255, while the AMG E43 costs £ 58,290 and uses a 3.0-liter biturbo V6 petrol mill, rated at 401 HP. The latter variant needs 4.7 seconds to reach 62 mph from a standstill.

All versions of the E-Class come with a 9-G-Tronic automatic transmission as standard, with shorter shift times for the E43, and feature the same equipment line as the E-Class sedan, but they add the split-folding rear seats. These can also be specified with the optional folding bench seat in the boot, for an additional £ 1,250, along with an Easy-Pack load securing kit, for another £ 295. The E43 can be fitted with an AMG carbon fiber package, for £ 1,575.


Ending the E-Class list of updates is the E220d Saloon, which is available, for the first time, with the brand's 4Matic four-wheel drive system. This costs £ 37,730 and it needs 7.5 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 62 mph.

Joining the current GLC Coupe lineup is the GLC 350d 4Matic, with its 3.0-liter V6 diesel that produces 358 horsepower, delivers up to 47.1 mpg UK (39.2 mpg US / 6 lt/100 km) and emits 161 g/km of CO2. It starts from £ 47,135, while the other addition to the family, the AMG GLC 43 4Matic, can be had from £ 50,960, with its 3.0-liter biturbo V6 petrol mill, which is rated at 367 HP. The more muscular variant needs 4.9 seconds to go from rest to 62 mph and it can top out at 155 mph.

Deliveries of the E200d Estate, E350d Estate, E43 4Matic Estate, GLC 350d 4Matic Coupe and GLC 43 4Matic Coupe will commence in December this year.
