Despite rumors of its delay, Mercedes has confirmed that the E-Class station wagon (or Estate as they call it in Europe) will debut at the Frankfurt Auto Show this September.
Sales of the new E-Class are already off to a strong start says Mercedes with 40,000 units already delivered and U.S. and Chinese deliveries still yet to happen.
"The fact that the E-Class sedan already became the global market leader in May demonstrates how well it is being received by our customers," said Dr. Klaus Maier, Executive Vice President Sales and Marketing at Mercedes-Benz. "The new coupe is also extremely popular, thanks to its dynamic design and the new generation of efficient engines. We are very delighted with this positive response because the E-Class has always been of great importance for Mercedes-Benz. It's an exemplary embodiment of the brand's basic attributes of safety, comfort, and quality. The new E-Class also sets the standards when it comes to economy in the upper-range segment."
The E-Class wagon will debut as a 2010 model and like past versions we expect the North American market to receive the E350 4MATIC and 6.2-liter V8-powered E63 AMG model.
