FINAL details for the innovative new Mercedes-Benz E-Class Estate have been announced with prices for the entry-level E 200 Kompressor Classic starting at £27,355 OTR.

The E-Class Estate includes the advanced Sensotronic Brake Control (SBCTM) system, now fitted with two new convenience features as standard.

The new E-Class Estate is launched in the UK on June 19 and has generous standard equipment and improved engines.

All models are fitted with a host of safety and convenience features as standard.

There are six airbags, seat belts with pre-tensioners and force limiters, and a roll-over sensor to improve occupant protection if the vehicle inverts, by activating airbags in a sequence.

SBC now comes with two new convenience functions as standard, SBC Hold and SBC Stop. SBC Hold relieves driver strain when performing tricky hill starts, when manoeuvring on steep slopes, or when stopped in traffic. This feature keeps the car stationary without the driver having to keep the brake pedal depressed.

SBC Stop helps relieve driver fatigue in traffic. Once the accelerator is released below a certain speed, the car automatically brakes itself to a complete stop without the need to press the brakes. The brakes are released once the driver accelerates.
