New Mercedes-Benz E-Class All-Terrain
Versatility and intelligence in a striking outfit
Stuttgart. From unpaved tracks to rock climbing or steep serpentine roads to a
snow-bound ski lodge – the new E-Class All-Terrain takes routes where
conventional estates often have to give up effortlessly in its stride thanks to
greater ground clearance with large wheels and 4MATIC all-wheel drive as a
standard feature. And it also cuts a fine figure thanks to its striking look with
powerful flared wheelarches and SUV radiator grille. The E-Class All-Terrain
will celebrate its world premiere at the Paris Motor Show 2016. The market
launch will follow in the spring of 2017.
"No E-Class has ever been as versatile as the All-Terrain. The new model
combines a striking look in SUV 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", says Ola Källenius, 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, family and leisure
time."
Thanks to styling elements with an off-road look the All-Terrain has a powerful
and robust appearance which also distinguishes it from the classic estate.
Dynamism and modern luxury unite with superiority that leaves no doubt as to
the status of this model and follow the current design idiom. The All-Terrain is a
further ambassador of the Mercedes-Benz design philosophy of the sensuous
clarity that defines modern luxury.
The most eye-catching feature of the striking front is the SUV-style two-fin grille
with a star integrated in the centre. The fins come in iridium silver. The
distinctive front bumper and the panelling in underride guard-look, electroplated
in silver-chrome, also contribute to the robust appearance. The top part of the

grained black plastic.
In the side view the black wheel arch covers are a distinctive feature that
emphasise the all-terrain character. This also applies to the side skirt that comes
in the same colour and features a chrome trip strip. Three exclusive light-alloy
wheel sets in 19- and 20-inch format with higher sidewalls give the vehicle a
confident look, more ground clearance and enhanced comfort on rough roads.
The All-Terrain also features a model-specific three-part bumper at the rear with
the top part painted in the body colour and the lower part in grained black plastic.
Further features typical of an SUV include robust outer load sill protection and a
visual underride guard electroplated in silver-chrome.
The special features of the interior include a trim part in aluminium-carbon look
exclusive to the All-Terrain, stainless steel sports pedals with rubber studs and
floor mats with All-Terrain lettering. The equipment of the All-Terrain is based
on the AVANTGARDE interior line, EXCLUSIVE and designo appointments
are optionally available. The new model boasts all the intelligent load
compartment solutions of the E-Class estate such as the rear seat cargo position
and folding with a 40:20:40 split as a standard feature. All E-Class innovations
relating to safety,comfort and convenience are available.
The All-Terrain will be launched as an E 220 d 4MATIC (143 kW/194 hp) 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.

The All-Terrain has DYNAMIC SELECT as a standard feature. This enables five
driving programmes to be selected with different engine, transmission, ESP®
and
steering characteristics. A special model-specific feature is the All-Terrain
driving programme, which offers settings for off-road driving and was derived
from the GLE. The even more comfortable suspension configuration and the
large wheels with higher sidewalls noticeably further increase ride comfort on
rough roads compared with the E-Class.
Selecting the All-Terrain driving programme with the driving programme switch
raises the chassis in conjunction with the standard AIR BODY CONTROL by
+20 mm up to a speed of 35 km/h. The thresholds for ESP®
, active yaw control
and acceleration skid control (ASR) are adjusted accordingly. The All-Terrain
driving programme has a special indicator in the vehicle display. Information
displayed there includes the steering angle, the vehicle level (position of the air
suspension), the angle of slope and the angle of inclination, the accelerator/brake
position and a compass.
Thanks to air suspension three levels from 0 to +35 mm are possible.
Independent of the driving programme the highest level can also be selected
manually with the level button on the centre console. The E-Class All-Terrain is
29 millimetres higher than the E-Class Estate – 14 mm are ascribed to the tyres
with a larger height/width ratio and 15 mm to the normal driving level of the air
suspension.
The ground clearance is 121 to 156 mm.
