New Mercedes-Benz E-Class All-Terrain unveiled



All-wheel drive, air suspension and
Off-Road driving program standard

 
(September 5, 2023) Mercedes-Benz introduced the 2024 E-Class All-Terrain Sunday at the Munich auto show. It grows taller, wider and longer than the outgoing model, and undergoes a host of upgrades designed to appeal to customers who like the look of a beefy wagon that can traverse dirt and gravel country roads.

With standard 4MATIC all-wheel drive, AIRMATIC air suspension and an Off-Road driving program, the new E-Class All-Terrain makes easy work of light terrain, such as dirt or gravel roads. The off-road driving experience is further enhanced by the off-road display and the “transparent hood” — part of the 360 degree camera.

The vehicle has an unmistakably rugged look. Off-road design elements include the unique front grille, special bumpers, chrome front and rear underride guard, and dark grey wheel arch cladding. 18-inch wheels are fitted standard, while 19- and 20-inch wheels are optionally available. The new E-Class All-Terrain celebrates its world premiere at IAA Mobility in Munich, completing the Mercedes-Benz E-Class family. It arrives at U.S. dealerships in 2024.

Compared to the E-Class Sedan, the All-Terrain model is larger in terms of width (75 inches) and height (58.9 inches). It is nearly the same length as the sedan at 195 inches overall. 18-inch wheels are fitted standard, while 19- and 20-inch wheels are optionally available.

The vehicle’s sporty back end conceals 21.7 to 64.6 cu-ft of luggage capacity. The second row seat backs can be folded down with a 40:20:40 split. They are operated with two push buttons on the left and right side of the rear seat backrest. The standard EASY PACK tailgate opens and closes conveniently at the push of a button using the key fob, switch in the driver’s door, or the unlocking handle on the tailgate itself. The retractable luggage cover and dividing net have a two-piece design and are also fitted standard.

The most eye-catching feature of the front end is the twin-louver grille in Iridium Silver with the Mercedes-Benz Star integrated in the center and a Mercedes-Benz pattern. The distinctive front bumper, as well as the chrome underride guard panel also contribute to the rugged appearance.

Distinctive dark grey wheel arch cladding emphasizes the vehicle’s All-Terrain character. The same applies to the side sills, which have a chrome strip. At the rear, the E-Class All-Terrain boasts a unique bumper with a chrome simulated underride guard.



Off-road design elements also extend to the interior with AMG stainless steel sports pedals and floor mats with All-Terrain logo.

The E-Class All-Terrain is powered by a six-cylinder engine from the Mercedes-Benz family of modular engines (FAME). The engine range plays a major role in the flexibility of the international production network, while helping to meet the growing demand for electrification.

The mild hybrid system with intelligent boost technology and an integrated starter-generator (ISG) complements the turbocharger. A new battery for the system increases output of the electric motor from 20 to 23 hp and the boost torque to 151 lb-ft. The engine makes 375 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque and Mercedes sets 0-to-60 time at 4.6 seconds.
