Mercedes-Benz India has revealed the E-Class All-Terrain at the ongoing Auto Expo 2018. The jacked-up estate is expected to be launched in the middle of 2018 and will compete against its lone rival in the country - the Volvo V90 Cross Country. It is likely to be priced above Rs 65 lakh in India.
The twin-fin front grille that sports a large three-pointed star logo at the centre along with the black plastic cladding all around the body give the E-Class All-Terrain an imposing stance. Compared to the E-Class LWB sedan sold in India, the station wagon has a wheelbase that is shorter by 140mm. The All-Terrain is 4933mm long, 1852mm wide and 1475mm high. These figures are identical to the international-spec E-Class estate it is based on. To make it suitable for the odd off-road excursion, however, Mercedes-Benz has raised the ground clearance of the All-Terrain by 29mm. Overall, the E-Class All-Terrain offers a maximum ground clearance of 156mm, good enough for mild mud-plugging and crawling over the odd rocks that pepper our roads.
