Product Overview

Mercedes-Benz E-Class Estate S212 is an executive station wagon in production from 2009 to 2012, whereupon it received a facelift. It was available with a range of inline-4, V6, and V8 engines that displaced 1.8 to 6.2 liters.

To a large extent, the same engine lineup from the S211 E-Class Estate was carried over. Interestingly, before the facelift Mercedes replaced the M156 naturally-aspirated V8 with M157 bi-turbo V8. Both have proven to be excellent engines, with the latter being actually more reliable. However, this premature change was done to meet stricter emission requirements.

Mercedes-Benz has made a good effort in aerodynamics, with a decent 0.28 coefficient of drag to show for it. Drivers who appreciate handling will be pleased to know that the W212/S212 E-class comes with multi-link suspensions at all four corners. This provides the best cornering performance and tunability, at the expense of cost and a little bit of durability.
