Much as we adore station wagons, we're compelled to recognize the rationale, frequently rehashed to us via automakers' item organizers, that they don't offer in the United States. Particularly when wearing premium identifications and with correspondingly stout sticker prices. The cordial E-class wagon was a great a valid example; the significant commendation stacked into its open load hold doing little, obviously, to influence individuals to really purchase the thing. So we're satisfied that the new form, which has recently been disclosed, will discover its way here, as it appears to be one sweet lugger.

Dubiously, it's quite littler than the model it replaces, with a less square shaped load hold, implying that limit has fallen somewhat. With the back seats set up, and measured utilizing European system, load space is presently 22.6 cubic feet, or 0.9 cubic feet down from the ebb and flow W212 rendition. It's still roomier, obviously, than the littler C-class wagon (which U.S. purchasers are denied), and it is greater than its central home-market contenders, the BMW 5-arrangement Touring and the Audi A6 Avant. The base width of the load floor between the wheel curves is 43.3 inches.

The mechanical bundle is imparted to the new E-class car touching base at U.S. dealerships this mid year. The wagon will touch base in the principal quarter of 2017. European purchasers get a full decision of four-and six-chamber motors powered by either gas or diesel. Not so in the States, where we'll get the take-it-or-abandon it alternative of the E400 4MATIC model, controlled by a twin-turbocharged V-6 with all-wheel drive. This 3.0-liter V-6 is appraised at 329 pull and 354 lb-ft of torque and accompanies Mercedes' new nine-speed programmed transmission. We won't get any back drive renditions or diesels, and we're additionally informed that there aren't any arrangements to bring the 396-hp Mercedes-AMG E43 variant to the States. Mercedes-Benz USA alerts this doesn't discount another AMG variation to arrive later. (E63, anybody?) E-class boss designer Michael Kelz likewise let us know that we're prone to see an E300 form later, additionally with 4MATIC, with that model assignment camouflaging the way that Mercedes has scaled back the 300's motor to a turbocharged four-chamber.

Then again, the individuals who do agree to the wagon in America pay altogether more than for an identical hybrid (the 2016 model begins at $59,900 while the GLE SUV starts at $51,100), so it's great that the wagon draws in Benz's most prosperous clients. We ought to hear more about estimating on the 2017 model in a week or thereabouts. Similarly as with our warmth for the Benz wagon, we don't anticipate that the auto's MSRP will go down.
