Should We All Be Driving Station Wagons?

2017 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Sedan VS Coupe VS Cabriolet VS Estate Wagon

The 2017 E-Class is one of the most versatile vehicles in the Mercedes-Benz lineup with 4 body styles. Available as a sedan, coupe, cabriolet, and estate wagon, with aesthetic packages and unique colors on top of that, you can be sure no one else has an E-Class like yours. All provide different levels of utility and style, but which one is the best for the daily driver?

Body Style Length Wheelbase
Sedan 193.8 in 115.7 in
Coupe 185 in 108.7 in
Cabriolet 185 in 108.7 in
Wagon 192.7 in 113.2 in

Coupe 13.3 ft³
Cabriolet 11.5 ft³
8.8 ft³ (Top Down)
Wagon 57.4 ft³

As you can see, the distinctions between body styles actually turn the E-Class into four completely unique cars. These dimensional incongruences don’t just affect the way it fits in your garage, but they also can mean noticeable differences in driving styles between models. Since they all get similar gas mileage and are available with the same engines, the estate wagon is the obvious choice in terms of utility.

Aside from missing the attractive look of a coupe and the feeling of wind in your hair, there are no downfalls to the E-Class wagon. Actually, we probably aren’t more than 10 years away from a completely transformable E-Class. Have you owned any E-Class variations? We want to hear about your experiences! Leave a comment below!
