2017 Mercedes E Class AllTerrain Estate
Daimler recently released its Q2 and H2
2016 results report, in which it revealed the new generation Mercedes E-Class
based ‘Mercedes E-Class All Terrain’. It’s expected to be mainly targeted at
European markets.
The Mercedes E-Class All Terrain is
understood to be the rugged variant of the all-new Mercedes E-Class Estate, a
potential rival of the Audi A6 allroad quattro. A set of speculative renderings
from Motor1 reader Tobias Buttner show how the 2017 Mercedes E-Class AllTerrain
may look like.
The Mercedes E-Class AllTerrain (final
name TBA) is expected to differentiate itself from the Mercedes E-Class Estate
with a tweaked upper grille, new lower grille, underbody protection, plastic
cladding and distinctive bumpers. In other aspects, the major difference would
be the increased ground clearance, and possibly a more capable and adaptive
suspension setup.
The Mercedes E-Class AllTerrain, being a
high-end variant of the Mercedes E-Class Estate, probably won’t be offered with
the 2.0-litre petrol or diesel engines. This would leave the car with the 333
hp 3.5-litre turbocharged V6 petrol and 258 hp 3.0-litre turbocharged V6 diesel
engines. Sending power to all wheels, will be a standard 9G-TRONIC 9-speed
automatic transmission.
