Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The MERCEDES-BENZ E CLASS (2002-06) E280 5DR ESTATE 3.0 CDI AVANTGARDE AUTO is a large, premium diesel estate, offering more space and comfort than a typical family hatchback. In the UK used-car market, it sits among executive wagons such as the BMW 5 Series Touring and Audi A6 Avant, with Mercedes’ understated, upmarket appeal and strong long-distance credentials too.
Its roomy load area, automatic gearbox and relaxed ride make it well suited to family holidays, commuting and carrying bulky loads. The E280 CDI combines useful pulling power with diesel efficiency, while Avantgarde trim gives the car a polished feel. It is a comfortable, capable choice rather than a runabout.
