It may have taken longer than expected, but the 2024 Mercedes-Benz E 450 All-Terrain wagon has finally arrived with standard all-wheel drive, an adaptive air suspension, and an off-road driving mode not available in its sedan counterpart. Following the debut of the sixth-generation E-Class sedan, this refreshed wagon is slightly wider than its predecessor, offering increased interior space in the second row. Updates to the cabin include the new Superscreen system, which includes a front passenger display screen. The off-road driving mode activates the car’s 360-degree camera system, featuring a “transparent hood” that enhances visibility of the ground in front of the vehicle.
Mercedes has upgraded the wagon’s screens with a new processor for faster speeds and more responsive navigation. The system utilizes a 5G model for over-the-air updates and connectivity features. The enhanced processing power enables new features such as a sound visualization function that projects images onto the displays. Additionally, the wagon now supports third-party apps, enabling users to play games, stream videos, or make video calls from the cabin. In-cabin cameras allow users to capture selfies and videos.
The E 450 All-Terrain is equipped with a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six mild-hybrid powertrain, delivering a combined 375 horsepower and 369 pounds of torque. While it may not match the performance of the AMG E 63 Wagon, it still offers a respectable 0-60 acceleration.
With these enhancements, the price of the new wagon starts at $74,700 before destination charges, a $3,450 increase from the 2023 model. Including the $1,150 destination charge, the total cost before options and taxes amounts to $75,850. This positions the E 450 All-Terrain at a higher price point compared to rivals like the Volvo V90 Cross Country and Audi A6 Allroad. Among gas-powered competitors, only the Audi RS6 Avant is priced higher. On the EV front, both the Porsche Taycan 4 Cross Turismo and Audi RS6 Avant surpass the six-figure mark.
