“E400 L” designation?
Hi all - I’ve posted about my new to me E400 wagon. I bought it CPO from a big corporate owned dealer here in Toronto. I absolutely love this car, and it is rare as hens teeth around here.
One quirk is that the dealer rebadged it for me - and it has E400 L on the back as opposed to simply E400.
He told me it was “long wheelbase” but this sounds like BS - but the badging all looks legit - any idea where this comes from? My suspicion is in China they sell them like this and the badge set the dealer ordered was one of these...
I don’t really mind, makes it that much more unique, but it’s odd.

The only thing I found on the E400L is that it was a Hybrid Sedan (Not Estate/Wagon) available in China. It is very easy to remove the L if you don't like it.

You can always find if any option under L is listed on vehicle datacard.
Enter your VIN on site like https://www.ilcats.ru/mercedes/?language=en and click on option list.
Edit . I just run datacard on my car and even it doesn't have L on trunk, it does have option listed under L
..... it is left hand steering, if that makes sense
