2026 Mercedes-Benz E-Class All-Terrain Wagon Review, Pricing, and Specs

2026 Mercedes-Benz E-Class All-Terrain Wagon Review, Pricing, and Specs

Car and Driver12-07-2025
Overview
The E-class wagon has the adjustable air suspension, all-wheel-drive prowess, multi-view camera system, skid plates, and body cladding of a proper off-roader, but it's not fooling anyone with its All-Terrain branding. This is a soft-riding, cushy, and luxurious road-trip machine that few owners will risk damaging on even the tamest of trails.
We still like it, though. The hybrid-assisted six-cylinder engine responds promptly to throttle requests, and we feel properly posh while sitting in the driver's seat. Premium amenities and features abound inside the E-class wagon's cabin, and there's plenty of space to haul both passengers and cargo at the same time.
Expert Tip: If you're looking for something racier, Mercedes-AMG sells an E53 wagon model that comes with a 577-hp plug-in hybrid powertrain.
What's New for 2026?
Benz's wagon should enter 2026 unchanged.
Pricing and Which One to Buy
The price of the 2026 Mercedes-Benz E-class Wagon is expected to start around $78,000 and go up to $81,000 depending on the trim and options.
E450
$78,000 (est)
E450 Pinnacle
$81,000 (est) 0 $25k $50k $75k $100k $125k
Most shoppers can do without the Pinnacle trim's active ambient lighting, head-up display, illuminated grille, and insulated glass. We recommend sticking with the base model and selecting some worthwhile options, such as the Driver Assistance pack and the ventilated front seats.
If you live in a northern clime, consider adding the Winter package. It includes heating for the steering wheel and windshield washers.
Engine, Transmission, and Performance
Engine: 375-hp turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six
375-hp turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six Transmission : 9-speed automatic
9-speed automatic Drivetrain: all-wheel drive
Unlike the E-class sedan, which offers three different powertrains, the All-Terrain comes exclusively in E450 guise, with a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six underhood. A 48-volt hybrid system assists the engine at low rpm to hide any turbo lag. During our initial drive, we found that the setup works well, shuffling torque instantly and effortlessly to all four wheels via a nine-speed automatic transmission.
The standard air suspension is tuned for comfort and does a nice job cushioning passengers from the worst road impacts. In tight corners, the car feels a little cumbersome but never unstable, and while the brake pedal is a little wooden, the brakes themselves are strong.
0–60-MPH Times
Claimed 60-mph time: 4.6 seconds (manufacturer's estimate)
In Comparison: We haven't had the opportunity to test the E-class All-Terrain yet, but Mercedes-Benz claims it will accelerate to 60 mph in 4.6 seconds. That's likely a conservative estimate, as the previous-generation model reached 60 mph in 4.4 seconds despite making less power.
Towing and Payload Capacity
The 2026 E-class wagon can tow about 4600 pounds.
Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG
EPA City Rating : 22 mpg
22 mpg EPA Highway Rating: 31 mpg
The EPA hasn't released fuel-economy information for the 2026 Mercedes-Benz E-class All-Terrain yet, but nothing should change: The 2025 model earns ratings of 22 mpg city and 31 mpg highway.
When we get a chance, we'll take the E-class All-Terrain on our 75-mph highway fuel-economy loop and update this page with results. For more information about the E-class All-Terrain's fuel economy, visit the EPA's website.
Interior, Comfort, and Cargo
First Row: Even in base spec with faux-leather upholstery and black-ash dashboard trim, the E450 looks elegant inside. The front seats are cushy and roomy, and they come standard with heating and Benz's 'energizing seat kinetics,' wherein the seat cushion and backrest make subtle adjustments to keep fatigue at bay. Quilted leather inserts, massage functions, and ventilation are all available options.
Second Row: Adults tall and short should be comfortable in either of the second row's outboard seats, which buyers can upgrade with heating elements for $500.
Cargo Capacity: Underneath the power liftgate and aft of the second row, the E-class wagon offers up 33.1 cubic feet of space for your gear. Fold down the back seats and you'll extend the cargo area by 31.5 cubes (for a total of 64.6). Costco, here we come.
Infotainment and Connectivity
Infotainment: 14.4-inch touchscreen
14.4-inch touchscreen Connectivity: Bluetooth, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility
Bluetooth, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility Audio System: 17-speaker Burmester stereo
Every E-class All-Terrain boasts a 12.3-inch display in front of the driver and a 14.4-inch touchscreen built into the dashboard. The center screen uses the latest MBUX software and responds to voice commands. It also supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connections.
For an even more impressive-looking arrangement, you can opt for the MBUX Superscreen, which turns the entire dash into a glossy touchpad with the addition of a 12.3-inch front-passenger display next to the 14.4-inch unit.
Safety and Driver-Assistance Features
Mercedes provides several useful driver-assistance features, but makes shoppers shell out for adaptive cruise control.
Standard Safety Features: automated emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, a 360-degree camera system
automated emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, a 360-degree camera system Optional Safety Features: adaptive cruise control, lane-centering assist, evasive-steering assist
For information about the E-class All-Terrain's crash-test results, visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) websites.
Warranty and Maintenance Coverage
Mercedes-Benz's new-car warranties last for four years or 50,000 miles. Rivals match or exceed this coverage, and several offer complimentary service visits, which Mercedes doesn't. Prepaid maintenance plans are available, however, through Mercedes dealers nationwide.
Limited Warranty: four years or 50,000 miles
four years or 50,000 miles Powertrain Warranty: four years or 50,000 miles
four years or 50,000 miles Complimentary Maintenance: None

iPhone 17 just might launch the second week of September

Someone just calculated a potential drop date for the iPhone 17 — and it could be sooner than many of us thought. The iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Air, the long-awaited new iPhones that allegedly could come in black and have a potentially extensive battery life, doesn't have a set release date. We don't know many of the specs, including price, hardware, and colors, but we have gotten plenty of exciting leaks. One leak reported by Mac Rumors from a leaker known as Majin Bu claims that the iPhone 17 Air could come in the MacBook Air's new Sky Blue finish. The newest piece of iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Air rumors comes not from a leak, but from some well-calculated math. Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman wrote in the newsletter Power On that we might get the new iPhone specs — and the opportunity to buy them — the week of September 8. Gurman noted that Apple tends to launch its new iPhones the week after Labor Day. This year, that falls on September 1, so we'll probably see the launch the week of September 8. And that tracks with its history — in the last decade, nine of the 10 Apple events fell on the second week of September, according to MacRumors. The only year that breaks the pattern is 2000, when the event was moved due to the pandemic. Apple never schedules events on Fridays, Gurman argues, and will likely avoid a show on September 11. That leaves three days open for its iPhone event: September 8, a Monday; September 9, a Tuesday; or September 10, a Wednesday. "It could be that Monday (the 8th), though I suspect the 9th or 10th is probably more likely,' Gurman wrote, according to PC Mag. So if you're on the lookout for all the new iPhone details, you might want to set time in your calendar for the second week of September. Solve the daily Crossword

Apple rumors reveal 8 products we could still see in 2025

We currently sit in that glorious period between Apple's WWDC and the tech giant's autumn iPhone release, which means there's a lull in the action. Where's there's a lull, there is speculation, and while we're pretty certain the iPhone 17 is coming — along with everything announced at WWDC 2025 — there may still be some things in the pipeline for Apple. The below products are mostly rumors until Apple actually announces them. After all, delays happen and that's certainly been true of Apple products the last few years. The Vision Pro, for instance, was delayed multiple times before its eventual release in 2024. In any case, if you're fiending for some Apple tech, late 2025 may be the time for you as there are plenty of products that may come out by then. Apple Watch Series 11, Ultra 3, and new SE When Apple released the Apple Watch 10, it was a mild disappointment for many, since it was essentially the same design as earlier versions but with upgraded internals. This was despite rumors that some redesigns were coming. Additionally, the Apple Watch 10 launched alone, with the SE and Apple Watch Ultra not receiving upgrades. According to rumors, that may change this year. For starters, the Apple Watch Ultra 3 may be the first watch in the series to feature Apple Intelligence. In addition, it's rumored that the Apple Watch 11 and a new Apple Watch SE are in the works. For the new SE model, Apple has reportedly run into production issues so it may be delayed another year. However, until September's alleged release date, we won't know for sure. AirPods Pro 3 Apple launched the AirPods 4 in late 2024 with some neat new features like a built-in hearing test along with hearing aid features. In 2025, it seems like the AirPods Pro is getting its turn in the spotlight with the rumored debut of the AirPods Pro 3. The series hasn't been updated since the AirPods Pro 2 released in 2022, so it's definitely due for an upgrade. For the AirPods Pro 3, the rumored upgrades are about what you'd expect. Apple is reportedly improving audio quality and active noise cancelling, while also inheriting the hearing aid features from the AirPods 4. It's likely getting a new chip to improve performance across the board and may borrow some design elements from the AirPods 4, such as the capacitive touch pairing button. Apple TV 4K The Apple TV 4K will be the first Apple TV device released since the prior generation dropped in 2022. The current model is powered by an A15 bionic chip, the same one that's found in the iPhone 14, so it's probably due for an upgrade. Per rumors, the upgraded model will likely sport an A17 Pro, A18, or A19 chip, which should boost performance quite a bit. The rumors also say that the device will support Apple Intelligence, and since that requires 8GB of memory, that means the amount of memory will double from the current model's 4GB. Additional Apple supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reports that Apple may be working on Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7 versions of its wireless chips. If that upgrade makes its way into the Apple TV 4K it should help keep the product relevant if the next generation takes three more years to drop. HomePod mini 2 Much like the Apple TV 4K and AirPods Pro 2, Apple hasn't launched a new HomePod mini in a long time. Unlike those other two, it's been an even longer five years since its last release. That could change in 2025 with the rumored release of the HomePod mini 2. Rumors of this started with Mark Gurman's Power On newsletter, where he said that the new device should be coming by the end of the year. Not too much is known about the mini 2. Allegedly, it's coming with an Apple-designed Wi-Fi and Bluetooth chip, which will support Wi-Fi 6E. Nothing else has been confirmed, but, after five years, it feels safe to assume that Apple will pop-in a different processor and do something to improve sound quality. New colors aren't outside the realm of possibility either. Apple's smart speaker with a display Speaking of HomePods, Cupertino has allegedly been working on a smart display similar to the Google Nest Hub that is basically a speaker with a screen. This new device would blend the HomePod, iPad, and Apple TV tech together and push Apple more into the smart home space alongside Amazon and Google. It's codenamed the J490, at least according to rumors. Of all the products on this list, the smart display is the least likely to come out in 2025. It was originally supposed to be introduced in March 2025, per Mark Gurman, but software issues delayed the product. A late 2025 release date is expected but rumors suggest the company could also wait until 2026. AirTag 2 The original AirTag was a piece of tech that helped launch a whole industry of trackers. AirTags launched in 2021, and despite being a little boring, they were found to be supremely useful for finding lost items. The upgraded AirTag 2 is expected to launch alongside the iPhone 17 later this year. For the record, we don't know how Apple will name the AirTag 2 and we're just calling it that for simplicity's sake. The rumors came from 9to5mac and just like the HomePod mini 2, we still don't know a ton of the details. The new tag will apparently be compatible with iOS 18.6, so it'll work with older iPhones. It's also expected to have better connectivity, longer range, better security, and improved battery life. It'll allegedly come in an 'anti-tamper' form factor, which means it might have a rechargeable battery, but that hasn't been confirmed. We'll know more in September if the rumors are true. M4 Mac Pro With the launch of the new Mac Studio, that leaves the Mac Pro as the only device left in Apple's Mac product lineup without the company's M4 chip. That is likely to change this year. Per Mark Gurman, both the Mac Studio and Mac Pro were on pace for a 2025 release. Since the Mac Studio did, in fact, release in 2025, it stands to reason that the Mac Pro is also coming. Gurman says that it should arrive in the 'second half' of 2025, so anytime between now and the end of the year. With this upgrade, it'll be the first time that Apple has ever brought its latest chip to the entire family of Mac products. That's about the long and short of the rumors about the Mac Pro. We haven't seen much in terms of expected prices or specs, but we imagine that the specs will be good and the price will be expensive. Devices with the M5 chip Per MacRumors, several devices are slated to launch in 2025 with the upcoming M5 chip. These devices include a new iPad Pro, an upgraded version of the Vision Pro, a new MacBook Pro, a new Mac mini, and a new iMac. These rumors stem from a few assumptions. For instance, Apple released the new MacBook Pro, iMac, and Mac mini simultaneously, so it's likely that the company will do so again. The Vision Pro is expected to get the new chip but remain otherwise identical, so it's more of a refresh than a new product. Finally, the iPad Pro was redesigned just last year with an OLED display and a thinner design, so it's likely this year's release will mostly focus on the M5 chip. More from Apple While the list above is everything we could find, it is by no means exhaustive. We focused mostly on rumored devices that are not the iPhone 17, since everyone fully expects it to be released. In any case, nearly all of these releases are allegedly slated for late 2025, so if they're going to make it to market, there's a high chance we'll learn more about them around the same time the iPhone 17 launches.

SpaceX targeting Saturday morning for Falcon 9 launch on Starlink mission from Cape Canaveral

(This story has been updated with new launch schedule information and comment from SES.) SpaceX crews are gearing up for Cape Canaveral's next Falcon 9 rocket launch on the morning of Saturday, July 26, the Space Coast Office of Tourism reported. Saturday's early bird 4½-hour launch window extends from 4:28 a.m. to 9:10 a.m. at Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, a Federal Aviation Administration operations plan advisory indicates. This is SpaceX's Starlink 10-26 mission. The Falcon 9 will deploy a payload of Starlink internet satellites in low-Earth orbit after ascending along a southeasterly trajectory. The rocket will lift off two days after the historic 75th anniversary of Bumper 8, the first rocket to launch from the Cape on July 24, 1950. The two-stage Bumper 8 experimental rocket only stood 56½ feet tall — or one-fourth the height of a 229-foot Falcon 9. Cape Canaveral: Is there a launch today? Upcoming SpaceX, NASA, ULA rocket launch schedule at Cape Canaveral SpaceX has yet to publicly confirm Saturday's Starlink mission or announce a target launch time. FLORIDA TODAY Space Team live coverage will kick off about 90 minutes before the launch window opens at No Brevard County sonic booms should occur: The rocket's first-stage booster will target landing aboard a SpaceX drone ship in the Atlantic Ocean. On Tuesday, July 22, SpaceX launched an afternoon Falcon 9 and lifted a pair of SES O3b mPOWER satellites into medium-Earth orbit. That mission marked the 62nd orbital rocket launch thus far this year from the Space Force installation and NASA's neighboring Kennedy Space Center. "Over the past year, our O3b mPOWER services have been transforming industries and empowering our key customers including telco operators, cruise lines, airlines, NATO, the Government of Luxembourg, the Government of United States and many other allied governments,' SES CEO Adel Al-Saleh said in a post-launch press release. Meanwhile, NASA and SpaceX teams continue prepping for next week's Crew-11 liftoff from pad 39A at KSC. NASA astronauts Zena Cardman and Mike Fincke, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency astronaut Kimiya Yui and Roscosmos cosmonaut Oleg Platonov will board a SpaceX Dragon atop a Falcon 9 for a long-duration stay aboard the International Space Station. The Crew-11 target launch time: 12:09 p.m. July 31.
