2013 Mercedes-Benz E-class T-modell (S212, facelift 2013) Dimensions, Size & Specs

The vehicle width of the E-class T-modell without mirrors is between 1854 mm and 1873 mm (approximately 73.0 to 73.7 inches), while with the mirrors opened, it extends to 2071 mm (about 81.5 inches). This distinction is important because width with mirrors affects parking and garage clearance, while width without mirrors indicates the body size on the road. The relatively wide stance provides good stability while driving and ample cabin room.

The vehicle height ranges between 1507 mm and 1522 mm (about 59.3 to 59.9 inches). This height offers a comfortable headroom inside without making the car too tall, preserving good aerodynamics and handling agility. The slightly varied height may depend on suspension or tire setup, but overall, it balances cargo capacity and passenger comfort effectively for a station wagon.

The curb weight ranges from 1645 to 2000 kg (roughly 3628 to 4409 lbs) depending on the variant and equipment. A higher curb weight can lead to increased fuel consumption but adds to stability and safety. Mercedes-Benz balances weight with premium materials and safety technology to ensure dynamic performance without sacrificing comfort and efficiency.

With rear seats in place, the luggage capacity is between 600 and 695 liters (21.2 to 24.5 cubic feet), while with the rear seats folded down, it expands significantly to between 1855 and 1950 liters (65.5 to 68.9 cubic feet). This configuration makes the E-class T-modell highly versatile for transporting large cargo, luggage, or sports equipment, aligning with its role as a practical and spacious executive wagon.

Most standard home garages measure about 2440 mm (8 feet) wide and 4880 to 5490 mm (16 to 18 feet) deep. Given that the E-class T-modell is about 4904-4905 mm (193 inches) long and approximately 1854-1873 mm (73 to 73.7 inches) wide without mirrors, it can fit inside a typical single car garage, although with limited extra space especially in length. Care must be taken in opening doors inside tight garages, but overall it is generally compatible with standard garage dimensions.

The facelifted S212 maintained similar exterior dimensions to its predecessor, with only minor changes to length, width, and height largely due to styling updates. Both model versions typically measured close to 4900 mm in length and similar widths around 1850 mm. However, the facelift improved aerodynamics and updated bodywork for a fresher look. Interior space and cargo capacity remained largely consistent, ensuring the practicality and comfort expected from this class continued.

The E-class T-modell fits comfortably within the executive station wagon class and is comparable in size to rivals like the Audi A6 Avant and BMW 5 Series Touring. Its length of approximately 4905 mm (193 inches) and width of around 1873 mm (73.7 inches) are very close to these competitors, offering similar interior space and cargo capacity. Mercedes-Benz stands out with its blend of luxury, technology, and design refinement, making it a strong contender in this segment.

This generation offers a variety of rim sizes ranging from 16 inches up to 19 inches, including sizes such as 7.5J x 16, 8J x 17, 8.5J x 17, 8.5J x 18, 9J x 18, 9.5J x 18, 8.5J x 19, and 9J x 19. Corresponding tire sizes include 225/55 R16, 245/45 R17, 245/40 R18, 265/35 R18, 275/30 R19, 245/35 R19, 285/30 ZR19, and 255/35 ZR19. These options allow for customization of ride comfort, aesthetics, and performance according to driving preferences.

The roof load capacity for this Mercedes-Benz E-class T-modell generation is limited to 100 kg (approximately 220 lbs). This capacity supports the fitting of roof boxes, bike racks, or roof-mounted cargo carriers, adding to the vehicle's practicality for outdoor activities or extended travel. It is a typical roof load limit for vehicles in its class, balancing structural integrity with utility.
