2022 Mercedes Benz E450 All Terrain Wagon
For this week’s review we’ve gotten our hands on the 2022 Mercedes Benz E450 All Terrain. Mercedes dressed up their wagon as a SUV in an attempt to make it less wagon-y and appeal to SUV buyers by lifting it with more ground clearance.
Disclosure: Mercedes Benz Canada provided me with the 2022 Mercedes Benz E450 All Terrain for a week to test drive, and photograph. All photos in this blog post was taken by me. #MercedesBenzE450
ACCELERATION: 9/10
3.0L inline-6 turbo engine with mild hybrid drive and electric auxiliary compressor

Not as nimble since it’s a few hundred lbs heavier than a V90 wagon but it still has great feel to it.
RIDE: 9/10
Shifts very smooth and no turbo lag
Engine on/off is barely noticeable!
Air suspension creates a very comfortable ride

Thanks to the mild hybrid system it delivers excellent fuel economy.
CABIN NOISE: 8.5/10
One of the quietest wagons you can get
EXTERIOR: 9/10
B-pillar less design with windows down looks super cool
Front end grill looks sportier and aggressive from the 2019 version I tested prior
INTERIOR FOR DRIVER: 9.5/10
Seats are excellent with massage features plus they are heated and ventilated
Tilt/telescopic column
4-way lumbar support / 3-position seat memory
Steering wheel controls aren’t as easy to use as before
Exterior turn signals are red which aren’t my preference
INTERIOR FOR PASSENGERS: 7/10

It has a rear viewing third row seating where passengers get in through the trunk. When it comes to getting into a third row, I would prefer to get in via the trunk than squeezing through the second row. This could come in handy at a drive in theatre.
INTERIOR STORAGE:8/10
Power lift trunk
Hatchback style trunk opening makes it easy to load cargo
No tire under the floor because of the third row seats
24 Cu Ft of cargo space
OVERALL IMPRESSION OF THE 2022 Mercedes Benz e450 all terrain:
The 2022 E450 All Terrain is an excellent all around vehicle. It has a great engine sound, excellent acceleration, excellent handling ability and a plush ride
I love wagons even though most folks find it lame! They are the perfect family hauler and costco shopper. This lifted wagon allows you to do some outdoorsy driving for your family’s next adventure. Perfect for those living in BC with so much nature in our backyard.
I would love to own this wagon even though it’s on the pricy side. If you are looking for a more affordable option and don’t require a German brand you may want to consider the V90 Cross Country!
