Mercedes-Benz E Class All-Terrain review

The E400d starts at £64,445, making it almost £9,000 more than the equivalent E-Class wagon. Looks like a lot of money for an E-Class, but with the All-Terrain you get basically everything as standard, bar the most sophisticated active safety stuff. If you’re speccing a load of kit anyway, it’s actually not that bad. The Comfort Pack on a normal E400d is over £3k all by itself, you know, and the Premium Plus pack over £4k. Both of these are standard on the All-Terrain.  

CO2 and mpg won’t be as good as on a normal E-Class, though. But seems like Merc reckons this is an old-money car, private buyers with cash on hand, rather than business users who have to think about the particulars of company car tax and so on. So it doesn’t really matter.

If you, like us, believe Merc is cutting off a good portion of its nose in restricting the All-Terrain to a single, high spec model with a steep entry price, complain to your nearest dealer. It might well make a difference.
