From unpaved tracks to steep, serpentine snow-bound roads, the new E-Class All-Terrain can tackle routes where conventional estates have to give up, thanks to greater ground clearance and 4MATIC all-wheel drive. Rugged styling and flared wheel arches also give it a tough look. The E-Class All-Terrain makes its world premiere at the 2016 Paris Motor Show.

"No E-Class has ever been as versatile as the All-Terrain. The new model combines a striking look in sport utility vehicle style with the intelligent space concept of the estate. This is coupled with lots of innovative safety features and the multi-award-winning E-Class interior," said Ola Kallenius, Member of the Daimler Management Board responsible for Sales and Marketing of Mercedes-Benz Cars.

"With 4MATIC all-wheel drive as a standard feature and increased ground clearance thanks to the Air Body Control multi-chamber air suspension, the All-Terrain is a flexible all-rounder - for unpaved roads, and for family and leisure time."

The interior includes an aluminium-carbon look trim that is exclusive to the All-Terrain - stainless steel sports pedals and floor mats with All-Terrain lettering. The equipment is based on the Avantgarde interior line, while Exclusive and designo appointments are available as options.

The new model boasts all the load compartment flexibility of the E-Class estate, such as the rear seat cargo position and a standard 40:20:40 split-folding rear seat back. All E-Class innovations relating to safety, comfort, and convenience are available.

The All-Terrain will be launched as an E 220 d 4MATIC (194bhp) with the newly developed four-cylinder diesel engine. A short time later a variant with a six-cylinder diesel engine will follow. Both models come with the new 9G-TRONIC nine-speed automatic transmission as standard.
