2016 Mercedes-AMG E 43 Estate 4MATIC - Images, Specifications and Information

Coinciding with the world premiere of the new E-Class Estate from Mercedes-Benz, Mercedes-AMG is presenting the new E 43 4MATIC Estate. With the powerful 295 kW (401 hp) 3.0-litre V6 biturbo engine, 9G-TRONIC automatic transmission with shortened shift times, rear-biased AMG Performance 4MATIC all-wheel drive and model-specific suspension, the first performance stage of this all-rounder boasts the AMG brand's hallmark driving performance. The striking exterior design and more sporty interior underline the model's membership of the AMG family, and immediately indicate what the new E 43 4MATIC Estate is mainly about: the driving performance that is a hallmark of the brand.

"In recent months we have considerably expanded our model range for performance-oriented customers with our new 43 models, creating numerous new ways of entering the world of Mercedes-AMG. The new E 43 4MATIC Estate adds a particularly versatile alternative for business and recreation to this portfolio," says Tobias Moers, Chairman of Mercedes-AMG GmbH.

As in the case of the E-Class Saloon, Mercedes-AMG has also increased the output of the six-cylinder engine in the Estate model to 295 kW (401 hp) with the help of two larger turbochargers and specific software applications. The peak torque of 520 Newton meters is already available from 2500 rpm.

This package guarantees performance on a par with many a sports car: the new E 43 4MATIC reaches a speed of 100 km/h from a standing start in 4.7 seconds, while its top speed is electronically limited to 250 km/h.

With its striking exterior design, the new E 43 4MATIC Estate is immediately recognisable as a member of the AMG family. Three large apertures in the front apron emphasise its muscular and self-assured appearance. Two transverse fins and the front splitter are finished in silver chrome. A suggestion of a horizontal flic on the outer, black grilles emphasises the visual effect and creates a link with motorsport. The diamond radiator grille with chromed pins and the single transverse louvre in high-gloss black with inserts in highly polished chrome are further distinguishing features of the E 43 4MATIC Estate.

The side view is dominated by high-sheen 19-inch AMG five-twin-spoke light-alloy wheels painted in high-gloss black. Other features include sporty side sill panels and the "BITURBO 4MATIC" badge on the front wings.

The rear end likewise has sporty touches, with two exhaust tailpipes in highly polished chrome with a centre bar conveying a particularly sporty impression. The rear apron trim in a diffuser look is in silver chrome, while the roof spoiler on the tailgate is painted in the vehicle colour.

The interior reinforces the dynamic nature of the new E 43 4MATIC Estate with numerous individual details. Consistent use of trim in authentic materials, as well as uniform colours and materials from the dashboard to the interior door panels, produces a wrap-around effect which makes the driver feel at one with the Estate.

The predominant interior colour black has red highlights as an appealing contrast. The multifunction sport steering wheel in black nappa leather with area perforations, red contrasting topstitching and a flattened lower section is ideally suited to a brisk driving style. It features the new Touch Control buttons, which control the entire infotainment system without the driver's hands having to leave the steering wheel.

The driver and front passenger find a secure position in the sports seats even when driving at speed, thanks to the improved lateral support. The upholstery in ARTICO man-made leather/DINAMICA microfibre in black with red topstitching (optionally: nappa leather with trim strips in DINAMICA microfibre with red piping) has a distinctive pattern layout. To match the seat design, the door centre panels and the dashboard are finished in ARTICO man-made leather with red topstitching. Aluminium sports pedals with black studs, a black roof lining and red seat belts add further sporty highlights.

The Widescreen cockpit with a high-resolution, multifunction double colour display can be individually configured and has its own AMG graphics. Numerous driving dynamics parameters can also be displayed here. In the AMG-specific control panel in the centre console, the driver is able to use separate keys to select the functions for manual transmission mode (Long-term M), AMG Ride Control adjusable damping and 3-stage ESP.
