Mercedes-Benz E-Class Wagon (S211) (S211)

The S211 carried the W211’s technical ambition into the most practical body of the range — an E-Class wagon with self-levelling rear air suspension, a fold-out rear-facing third-row seat, and an electro-hydraulic brake system shared with no load-carrier before it.

Introduced in March 2003, the S211 spanned the supercharged M271 four and the M112 and M272 V6s, the M113 and M273 V8s and the 6.2-liter M156 of the E 63 AMG wagon, with CDI diesels from the OM646 four to the OM642 V6. The wagon reached the United States for model year 2004 as the E 320, E 320 4MATIC and E 500 4MATIC; the June 2006 facelift brought conventional brakes, revised styling and the 507-hp AMG wagon.

Around 240,000 were built before production ended in June 2009 — the widest-ranging E-Class wagon to that point, and the last with a supercharged AMG predecessor in its lineage.

Studio profile of the S211 — the proportions that defined this chassis.

Year by year.

From the March 2003 launch through the 2006 facelift to the E 63 AMG wagon — the material changes across the S211 run.

  1. 2003
    • The S211 wagon reached European markets in March 2003 with self-levelling rear air suspension, an EASY-PACK power tailgate and a fold-out rear-facing third-row seat.
    • Sensotronic Brake Control, ESP and the four-link front suspension carried over from the W211 sedan; diesels spanned the E 220 CDI four to the E 320 CDI inline-six.
  2. 2004
    • The wagon reached the US as the E 320, E 320 4MATIC and E 500 4MATIC, all with the five-speed automatic and standard rear self-levelling suspension.
    • The E 55 AMG wagon entered European production with the 476-PS supercharged M113 V8; it was not offered in the US.
  3. 2005
    • European wagons changed engine generations mid-year: the OM642 V6 CDI replaced the OM647 and OM648 inline diesels, and the M272 E 280 and E 350 replaced the M112 E 240 and E 320.
  4. 2006
    • The E 350 and E 350 4MATIC replaced the E 320 wagons in the US, the rear-drive car adopting the 7G-TRONIC seven-speed automatic.
    • The June 2006 facelift revised the front and rear styling and interior, and replaced Sensotronic Brake Control with conventional vacuum-assisted hydraulic brakes.
  5. 2007
    • The US wagon range was consolidated to a single variant, the E 350 4MATIC, while the E 63 AMG wagon arrived with the 507-hp naturally aspirated M156 V8 and 7G-TRONIC.
    • In Europe the E 200 CDI wagon and the direct-injection E 350 CGI (from October 2007) joined the range.
  6. 2009
    • Final model year: the last S211 wagons were built in June 2009 before the S212 successor entered production.
