Mercedes-Benz C-Class Estate (S206) (S206)

The S206 gave the fifth-generation C-Class its most useful shape without surrendering the proportions of a rear-driven Mercedes-Benz. Its 4,751-millimetre body and 2,865-millimetre wheelbase match the saloon, but the extended roof opens onto 490 litres behind the rear seats and 1,510 litres with the 40:20:40 backrest folded.

Series production of saloon and Estate began together at Bremen in March 2021. Every combustion engine was a four-cylinder and every one was electrified: M254 petrol and OM654M diesel models used a 48-volt integrated starter-generator, while the C 300 e and C 300 de placed a 25.4 kWh battery beneath a flat load floor. Optional rear-axle steering reduced the turning circle by 43 centimetres, and DIGITAL LIGHT brought S-Class projection technology into the compact estate class.

The body also carried the generation’s sharpest reversal of AMG tradition. The C 43 replaced a V6 with the longitudinal M139 and an electrically assisted turbocharger; the C 63 S E PERFORMANCE replaced a V8 with the same four-cylinder family, a rear-axle motor and a 6.1 kWh performance battery. At the other end of the range, the C 200 and C 220 d remain the core 2026 Estate models in the UK.

S206 interior — The 11.9″ portrait central display and driver-focused dashboard brought the W223 S-Class interface into the C-Class Estate.

725.1x Nine-speed automatic family. Standard models use 9G-TRONIC; AMG applications use a wet start-off clutch and AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT calibration.

A 2,865 mm wheelbase and long roof preserve the saloon’s stance while adding a 1,510-litre maximum load bay.
