The Mercedes-Benz E-Class Wagon (S211) 280 V6 231 reaches 60 mph in 7.37 s (100 km/h in 7.74 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 15.56 s, tripping the lights at 93.0 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.58 s and the eighth mile in 10.16 s.
Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and

About the E-Class Wagon (S211) 280 V6 231
The 2003 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Wagon (S211) 280 V6 231 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated estate of 1,785 kg with 228 bhp, which works out at 128 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 128 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.58 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 5,301st quickest to 60 mph, and the 683rd quickest of the 1380 Mercedes-Benzs here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 93.0 mph, the 4,238th highest here — so it is a car that keeps going rather than one that simply leaves well. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions
What is the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Wagon (S211) 280 V6 231 0-60 time?
The Mercedes-Benz E-Class Wagon (S211) 280 V6 231 reaches 60 mph in 7.37 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 5,301st quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Wagon (S211) 280 V6 231 quarter mile time?
15.56 s at 93.0 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.16 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.58 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Wagon (S211) 280 V6 231 have?
228 bhp and 1,785 kg, which is 128 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 246 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Wagon (S211) 280 V6 231?
Closest here on pace: VW Passat Variant 2.0 TDI SCR BlueMotion 190 (7.35 s), Mazda 6/Atenza Wagon 2.5 SKYACTIV-G Drive 194 (7.33 s), VW Passat Variant 1.8 TSI BlueMotion 180 (7.32 s). Each one can be raced against the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Wagon (S211) 280 V6 231 in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Mercedes-Benz E-Class Wagon (S211) 280 V6 231 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 2 of its 2 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
