Looking at getting a new (to me) e class estate. Currently have an E220d Estate SE. 2016 (old shape)

Looking at night edition premium plus. Couple available locally e220d and e300d.
Any opinions on on 300d. Specifically the real world mpg?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers guys. Better than mine that’s for sure.
On board computer says 42.8 over about 30k. So probably about 40 real world.

I like the idea of the 300d for the extra poke but not much information around.

I wanted a 400d but they were about 10k more than the 220 I got. I did have a c320d w204 and that could do pretty much same as my new e class

200d, 220d and 300d are the same 1950cc OM654 engine with different maps in the W213 E Class. MPG difference should be negligible.

They are one of the better 4 cylinder diesel units and a big improvement over the 2.1 units fitted to older models, particularly in terms of refinement.

213's up to about 2019 were available as the E350d which is the 254BHP 3.0 V6 diesel that has been around for years. The was replaced by the new 335BHP 2925cc straight 6 as the E400d. The E350d badge returned sometime in 2020 with the same straight 6 engine producing 286BHP. The 400d is only available with 4Matic 4WD. All V6 diesels are comparatively rare in the 213 range - they commanded a £10k premium new. The 400d is brilliant but you're looking at £35k+.

My long term average on my 2017 E220d estate is 48.7 MPG. Mid 50's is achievable on a motorway run if you keep it under 75, and I've seen 60+ a few times in slower traffic. The estates are 2-3mpg worse than the saloons as they're a bit heavier less aerodynamic.

I've been really happy with mine - they are a brilliant tool for covering big miles. The 360 camera option is well worth having, as is the Driver Assistance Pack - the latter is pretty rare though.

My e220d estate 2016 older shape has averaged 42.8mpg according to OBC so the new ones will be better.
I figured they were all the same engine. (220 and 300).
I fancy the 300d but very little information on it. It is an ex MB employee car. Night edition with premium plus.
Seen report of 220 get easily 50mpg. It nothing on 300d.

They will get very similar unless your using the extra power low 50 is easy depending where you live. Last week in Somerset and last journey in the pic was Somerset to shepherds Bush along the M3 I was up to 53 then I hit London smile

Thanks all.
Been reading a lot of posts about cracked alloys. A combination of 20” wheels and run flat tyres.
Whilst I know that people tend to highlight problems on the net instead of the positives, is the problem that bad. The premium plus comes with 20” and run flats.
Cheers

Repair £54 rather than 925 for a wheel. The wheels on yours are same as mine thankfully it was holding air still and hadn't split

Ouch. Glad you managed to repair instead of shelling out that sort of cash. Is it the first time it has happened? How many miles?

I think the 20" wheels relate to the Night Edition, rather than Premium Plus pack. I have a 2019 AMG line with Premium Plus pack, AMG line comes with 19" which I prefer - a bit more rubber around the rim.

Yes you are correct. I should have added, it was a night edition with premium plus pack. If I could find an AMG line with Premium Plus pack that would be great for the 19" wheels.

I'm potentially looking to get a set of 18's as winters that will likely stay on full time even with the full air I find the ride too noisy and harsh
