MELBOURNE – Sept 1, 2010: The class leading E-Class range has been expanded with the addition of a new diesel BlueEFFICIENCY model to the range. The seven seat E-Class Estate 250 CDI with an output of 150 kW and 500 Nm of torque brings a true seven seat capability to the segment. With fuel consumption of only 6.3 litres per 100 km on the combined cycle and a rating of 5.0 litres per 100 km on the extra urban cycle the E 250 CDI offers space and pace combined with environmental responsibility.

The Managing Director of Mercedes-Benz Cars, Mr Horst von Sanden says “We put the carriage of the most precious cargo of all (families) as an absolute priority. Our NCAP five star rated range of Mercedes-Benz Estates put every family first. Our offering of the largest and most comprehensive Estate range in the industry with a choice between the five seat C-Class, the five or seven Seat R-Class and the six, seven or eight seat Viano and now the seven seat E 250 CDI demonstrates our commitment to the Estate buyer.

I am such a huge fan of the E-Class Estate that I chose to drive one as my everyday vehicle. The seven seat versatility, safety, comfort, impressive performance and design tick all the boxes for me. The E 250 CDI I believe has very strong appeal to our customers with its impressive environmental credentials. I believe it is truly the Estate of the Nation”
