History of the S203

The S203 Estate brought Mercedes-Benz luxury to the practical compact wagon segment.

Launch occurred in 2001 with a comprehensive range of petrol and diesel engines designed to appeal to diverse European markets.

Production concluded in 2007 as the S204 generation introduced new styling and technology to the platform.
