Mercedes-Benz E-Class Wagon (S210) (S210)

The W210 E-Class brought a new design language and electronic sophistication to the executive segment — the S210 estate carried those advances into the most practical body in the range, with a load bay sized for European family life and a chassis that finally replaced the venerable W124.

Mercedes-Benz introduced the S210 E-Class wagon in 1996 alongside the W210 sedan, sharing the four-link front and multi-link rear suspension, ESP stability control, and a range of inline-four, V6, and V8 engines. The estate body featured a flat load floor, optional third-row seating, and self-levelling rear suspension; diesel variants including the E 220 CDI and E 270 CDI made the S210 a favorite of high-mileage drivers and commercial fleets across Europe.

Produced from 1996 to 2003, the S210 E-Class wagon bridged the W124 T-Model and the S211 generation — an estate that brought W210's elliptical-headlamp styling and electronic safety systems to the load-carrying market.
