Mercedes-Benz unveiled the E-Class All-Terrain at the Auto Expo 2018. Alongside, the German carmaker also showcased the Mercedes Mayback S650, Mercedes S 560, Mercedes EQ electric car concept and Petronas F1. The Mercedes E-Class All-Terrain is likely to go on sale towards the end of this year. Once launched, the new high-riding variant of the SUV will face challenge from cars like Volvo V90 Cross Country and A6 All-Road Quattro.
In the Indian market, the Mercedes E-Class All-Terrain will be made available in a single variant – E 220d 4MATIC. Powering this variant will be a 2.0-litre, four-cylinder diesel motor paired to a 9G-TRONIC 9-speed G Tronic torque convertor. The power and torque figures of this engine stand at 194bhp and 400Nm respectively. Mercedes claims that the new all-terrain iteration of the SUV can achieve a top speed of 232kmph.
