Distinctly resembling its E-Class wagon sibling, the 2024 All-Terrain sets itself apart through subtle design cues, including a heightened ride height, dark gray fender flares, and distinctive bumpers. Designed on the foundation of the new E-Class wagon generation, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class All-Terrain is exclusive to the United States market. It stands as the sole E-Class wagon offered in the U.S., while the conventional wagon remains exclusive to Europe.

Scheduled for arrival at U.S. dealerships in 2024, the E-Class All-Terrain will be available solely in the E450 model variant. Its powertrain boasts a 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline-six engine, coupled with by a mild-hybrid system, generating a combined output of 375 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. This power is delivered through a nine-speed automatic transmission, and the vehicle includes standard 4Matic all-wheel drive. Mercedes claims a 0-60 mph acceleration time of 4.6 seconds, though this figure is applicable to paved surfaces.

The off-road capabilities of the E-Class All-Terrain are enhanced by standard air suspension (optional in the sedan), which maintains consistent ground clearance regardless of load. At 75 mph in comfort mode, the suspension lowers by 0.6 inches to improve aerodynamics and high-speed agility. Wheel options range from 18-inch standard wheels to 19-inch and 20-inch alternatives.
