Hi Michael,

OK, so Classic is base spec, Elegance is kind of a mid-spec oriented to luxury and Avantgarde was a sportier trim grade; they were roughly the same in the UK, but over there they’ve dropped Avantgarde for Sport, which is a level down from AMG Line – the top trim in which a regular Mercedes looks like its flagship AMG version, but doesn’t have the mechanical upgrades to go with it. The Mercedes E-Class Estate you’re looking at is the ‘W212’ fourth-generation car, and in Ireland the most common examples are all four-cylinder diesels: the 170hp E 220 CDI, the 204hp E 250 CDI and the 231hp E 300 BlueTec Hybrid, which paired mild electric augmentation to the 2.1-litre twin-turbodiesel engine.
