- W210 E280 estate 1999 facelift; 6th gen honda accord coupe 2000
I have been looking for a large estate car for a while and the W210 is something I am considering. I have seen various car review websites that compare boot volume and the W210 always appears to compare favourably with other cars, such as volvo V70 or Audi A6. I have seen the W210 estate boot volume given as 600 litres to over a thousand (I can't remember exactly now).
Today I went to look at a W210 and I took some boot dimensions and I can't get my calculations to come anywhere near to 600 litres. Obviously the boot has a complex shape (but not nearly as complex as some other cars).
But looking at a basic rough calcalation (which would be on the low side),
I took boot width 110 cm x length 100 cm (to top of rear seats) x height 79 cm ( at opening) . Divided all this by 1000 and answer is 869.
Is my maths wrong, or have I ignored some other basic assumptions?
