Joining Volvo’s new V90 Cross Country in the crossover-flavored, executive estate segment, is Mercedes-Benz’s E-Class All-Terain, teased here just a few hours ahead of its online reveal, which will be followed by a world premiere in Paris next week.
The video shows the All-Terrain’s plastic body cladding, which may (or may not) come in handy if any drivers decide to leave the safety of the road and head on to a short off-road adventure, helped by a generous ride height, adjustable air suspension and 4Matic all-wheel drive system.
Since it will keep the shell, platform and most of the nuts and bolts of the latest Mercedes-Benz E-Class Estate, expect an identical interior with all the equipment offered as standard or on the options list, as well as the exact same 670 liters of luggage volume, expandable up to 1,820 liters with the rear seats folded down.
With its eyes set on the newly unveiled Volvo V90 Cross Country and Audi A6 Allroad, the jacked up wagon will get a selection of the regular model’s engine lineup paired to new 9-speed automatic gearbox. The powertrain family could expand with the addition of a petrol-electric PHEV, though it’s unknown at the time whether the Germans will offer a sportier AMG variant as well.
