The present-generation Mercedes-Benz E-Class range grows over again with the debut of the E-Class All-Terrain, here in its X214 iteration that follows the S214 E-Class Estate that was unveiled in June this yr, itself following the W214 E-Class sedan that premiered in April.
By comparison with the S214 E-Class Estate, the All-Terrain is “larger only when it comes to height,” says Mercedes-Benz. The X214 All-Terrain measures 4,950 mm long, 1,904 mm wide, and 1,497 mm tall; the regular S214 E-Class Estate is 1,469 mm tall.
Given its relatively more pronounced off-road temporary, the E-Class All-Terrain gets Airmatic air suspension as standard, enabling the vehicle to realize as much as 46 mm more ground clearance in comparison with the S214 Estate, together with repeatedly adjustable compression and rebound damping.
Rolling stock on the X214 E-Class All-Terrain is a set of 18-inch wheels as standard, shod in tyres measuring 235/55. Other optional wheels measuring as much as 20 inches in diameter could also be specified.
Distiguishing visual cues for the X214 All-Terrain include the most recent revision of the twin-louvre grille, front bumper and high-gloss chrome guard panelling, together with dark grey mouldings on the wheel arches and side sills, as par for the All-Terrain course. Similarly, the rear gets high-gloss chrome guard panelling continues the theme, with a stainless steel-look tailgate sill guard.
Luggage capacities on the X214 All-Terrain are similar to those of the S214 Estate, namely from 615 litres to 1,830 litres, or from 460 litres to 1,675 litres for the plug-in hybrid variant.
The X214 E-Class All-Terrain arrives with three electrified powertrains; the 381 PS/500 Nm E 450 4Matic mild-hybrid 3.0 litre petrol, the 197 PS/440 Nm E220 d mild-hybrid 2.0 litre diesel, and the 313 PS/700 Nm E 300 de 2.0 litre diesel PHEV. Like with the S214 Estate, all three variants of the All-Terrain at launch each have a braked towing capability of two,100 kg, and an unbraked towing capability of 750 kg.
Interior space is subsequently the identical as within the S214, where the rear-seat passengers profit from the identical 1,519 mm of elbow room, while the rise in wheelbase (up 22 mm to 2,961 mm) from the X213 is identical as that of the S214 Estate over its S213 predecessor.
Inside, the X214 All-Terrain melds W214-generation in-car technology with the atmosphere unique to the All-Terrain, the latter coming courtesy of the open-pore wood panel trim that has appeared within the previous-generation All-Terrain.
Optionally available is the MBUX Superscreen display – not depicted here, but just like that of current E-Class variants – that brings an extra front passenger screen to the ensemble. Versions without the Superscreen setup get a big trim piece extending to the centre of the dashboard, as shown here.
Here, the motive force and central displays within the X214 All-Terrain can switch to an off-road view when the vehicle is in off-road mode, employing the 360-degree camera to indicate a ‘transparent bonnet’ virtual view for the motive force to give you the chance to see the are below the front of the vehicle.
Elsewhere and as on other W214/S214 E-Class versions, the X214 All-Terrain could also be unlocked and commenced with a digital key, and its fundamental user can assign different usage rights to different invited users. Similarly, Lively Ambient Lighting with Sound Visualisation will be specified on the most recent All-Terrain.
Also on as standard are ADAS functions including Distronic energetic distance assist, Attention Assist, Lively Brake Assist, Lively Lane Keeping Assist, Parking Package with reversing camera and Speed Limit Assist. Optional within the Driving Assistance Plus package is the Lively Steering Assistant, aiding in keeping the vehicle centred in its lane. When lane markings disappear, the steering wheel will vibrate to alert the motive force.
