E-Klasse
Is the Merc a lot prettier than its predecessor?

That final conclusion you draw when you’re done reading this article. We have arrived at the fifth generation E-Class Estate. As with the recent unveiling of the new A5 also called the brand-new E Estate a lot of emotions in you. Time to make the family car even compare with its predecessor. The difference between the old and the new is in any case the Benz is a lot easier to see than in the coupé from Ingolstadt. The top image shows the new Estate. The old you can see below.

Front

The front of the Merc has undergone a small change in comparison with its predecessor. The new headlights fall on it and the E has a slightly sportier design language, inherited. No exaggerated changes.

Side view

The side view of the new Estate, however, has more striking features. So is the rear window sharper cut off and play the taillights now have a smaller role. Where the rear wheels at the old station at the door, ‘aanliepen’ is this in the new Estate less the case and it seems this line is smoother to walk.

The back

Here we see the difference between the two Benzen. The free huge taillights of the previous generation are considerably slimmed down. It all looks calmer, but I still don’t know if the car is really better on has become.

Interior

What an improvement! The classic clocks have been replaced for a double-12,3-inch display. The centre console is now also one whole. Mercedes has chosen to mature elements from the S-Class now also to the E – and C-Class. An excellent choice. The new Estate has standard 670 litres of luggage space with the rear seats flat, you have 1820 litres. The previous had, respectively, 695 and 1950 litres of luggage room. The new one is a little more compact. Moreover, the E-Class Estate is still the widest in its class. The photo of the old model is for the view mirror.

As a conclusion you can draw is that you can relax in the revamped station. Or the new appearance also after a number of years, take a refreshing dip stick eyes is a matter of taste. All in all, we can talk about a successful update.
