Two new models have been added to the Mercedes-Benz E-Class range.

Priced from £58,880, the new Mercedes-Benz E-Class All-Terrain Estate comes in a single launch specification with 4MATIC permanent all-wheel-drive, a nine-speed automatic gearbox and a 258bhp 3.0-litre turbocharged V6 diesel engine all as standard, delivering fuel economy up to 41.5 mpg, a top speed of 155 mph, and acceleration of 0 to 62 mph in 6.2 seconds. Other standard equipment includes a Burmester surround sound system, Air Body Control air suspension, panoramic electric sunroof, Comand Online with a 12.3-inch infotainment display and 12.3-inch cockpit display, a memory package including electrically operated front seats, LED Intelligent Light System, Keyless-Go Comfort package, privacy glass, split folding rear seats, 20-inch twin-spoke alloy wheels, and an electrically folding tow bar with a 13-pin adapter.

Dynamic Select is also included, a system which allows the driver to tailor steering, suspension and accelerator settings and features a specific All-Terrain mode, raising the car by 20 mm. The E-Class All-Terrain is already 39 mm higher than the standard E-Class Estate, with its highest suspension setting offering ground clearance of up to 156 mm.

Joining the All-Terrain Estate in the E-Class range is the new E-Class Cabriolet.  Prices start from £44,675 for the E 220 d AMG Line Cabriolet model.  The four-seater E-Class Cabriolet has a multi-layer acoustic fabric roof that is operable at up to 31 mph, taking just 20 seconds to pen or close.  The roof can be specified in either black, dark blue, and dark brown.  The model comes with four engine options; a 194bhp 2.0-litre diesel, a 258bhp 3.0-litre V6 diesel, a 245bhp 2.0-litre petrol, or a 333bhp 3.0-litre bi-turbo V6.  The 2.0-litre diesel represents the most efficient option, with CO2 emissions of 126g/km and up to 57.7mpg combined, while for optimum performance the 3.0-litre V6 petrol does 0-6mph in 5.5 seconds with an electronically limited top speed of 155mph. Standard specification is based that of the current E-Class Coupé, including Agility Control suspension, Magic Vision Control wiper system, LED high performance headlights, reversing camera, heated front seats, and ambient lighting with a choice of 64 colours. Cabriolet-specific additions to the equipment includes Airscarf neck-level heating system and Aircap, which helps to redirect the air flow over the cabin.

Options include a Premium pack for £1,795, which adds Memory package with electrically operated front seats and Keyless-Go Comfort package with keyless entry and start, plus hands-free boot access.  For £2,895, the Premium Plus package adds a Burmester Surround Sound system and Multibeam LED Intelligent Light System.  Exclusive new Rubellite Red metallic paint is a £645 optional extra. Driving Assistance Plus Package can be added for £1,695, and includes Drive Pilot with Distance Pilot Distronic, Speed Limit Pilot, Active Lane-Change Assistant, Active Brake Assist cross-traffic function, Evasive Steering Assist, and Pre-Safe Impulse Side.
