thankfully the wagon has evolved past
the soft pouty complacency of its
middle-aged and yet the uncool long
route shadow persists in the American
consciousness even as a vocal
enthusiasts subset imports
family-oriented 9001 and hotrods them to
the point of unrecognizable lity there's
a middle ground slim but it might be for
those who equate utility with luxury the
2017 mercedes-benz e 400 wagons perhaps
it's perfect example on it happens that
northern Germany is a perfect place to
demonstrate its charms hour drive route
took us from the ancient river port of
him to a resort at the shore of the
Baltic with evenly spaced trees lining
truck board smooth roads along the way
the scenery and the asphalt was chosen
to highlight the cars aesthetic and
dynamic appeal
mission accomplished on the same trip
and the same roads we also drove the
2017 mercedes-amg be 43 savent the
contrast there was informative some
background before a compare and contrast
the e400 wagon is indeed coming to the
United States and in the new one flavor
it's three dot 0 lead
twin turbo v6 backed up with the nine
gtronic 9-speed automatic and 4matic
all-wheel drive the other two eClass
modules have an equally narrow scope be
300 is only available as a sedan with a
2 dot 0 litre turbocharged for the same
Nine gtronic and the option of rear or
all-wheel drive the e43 will only come
here as a sedan for mannequin is powered
by higher output version of the 8400
basics abroad the powertrain options are
much more extensive there's even an e43
wagon at least the singular powertrain
option on the American menu makes sense
the wagons utility is well complemented
by the peace of mind at all whether
traction provides and indeed it's
consistent with the last Jenny 350 wagon
with 329 horsepower and 354 pound-feet
of torque on hand it's able to hit 60
miles per hour in 5.2 seconds just 0.7
seconds behind the e43 sedan driving the
e400 wagon and e43 sedan back-to-back
raised a surprising question which would
we recommend as that narrow accelerate
difference shows the to offer similar
performance this despite the e400 being
down 67 horsepower and 30 pounds to foot
on the a43 let's consider the rest of
the package to begin with the e 400 is
only available as a wagon so there's an
inherent utility bonus and it gets a
boost for the latest generation
compared to the last year wagon the e400
wheelbase and overall length are
slightly greater but width and height
are down
even so the cargo area swells x 6.9
cubic feet impressive
this is at least partially due to a
second-row seat back that can be
adjusted more vertically to allow for
more cargo room without displacing its
occupants this wagon looks sharp
particularly dead down from the rear the
Y slim tail light stick out from under a
chrome browser and draw attention away
from the tall group in between there's
the electrically operated rear hatch
that goes up and down with a kick under
the bumper here through the rear glass
and you might catch a pair of eyes
staring back at you
our test car didn't have it but us-spec
cars get a standard rear facing fold
away third row that can hold a couple of
youngsters those rear most kids are
missing the biggest draws in the class
in general like the rest of the
condoling interior and its many goodies
we've covered the dr pilot near
autonomous driving suite of technologies
and reviews of other eClass variants if
you want drive pilot prepare to drain
one of your accounts to the tune of
eleven thousand two hundred fifty
dollars for the premium three package
which to be fair also includes a long
list of other need tech and comfort
features if you only want the TFG gauge
cluster one of the neatest bits you'll
be happy to know it's an 850 dollars
standalone option the last piece of the
puzzle is the driving experience like
many of its c-class wagon predecessors
the e4 hundreds of rear axle get
standard self-leveling air suspension
and air body control air suspension is
available if you want it on both axles
get it
our test car was so equipped and it rode
beautiful Mercedes has been getting ride
comfort right for a long time
and the e400 wagon continues this trend
by providing supplements without any
appreciable float
that's despite the bulb the wagon weighs
and not in substantial 4497 pounds or
352 more than the a43 sedan this new
wagon is also incredibly quiet something
that Mercedes admits isn't easy to do
with a large cargo area that can
resonate like the body of an acoustic
guitar
there's nothing too fancy involved in
quelling noise standard wagons get a
bunch of extra sound deadening and
things like the sunroof and door handles
have been sealed and redesigned to
transmit less wind noise there's an
optional acoustic comfort package for us
buyers which had laminated fronting side
glass and extra sound-deadening material
for an even more involved like
experience
not that there was much noise to
transmitted from the smooth roads and
bucolic surroundings the sounds the
twin-turbo v6 made managed to get past
the serious noise reduction measures
were just enough to add a little verb to
the experience driven back to back with
the e43 the e400 wagon is restrained but
it's no slouch in fact romping on the
wagon might be more enjoyable there's
plenty of road-holding but with the
softer suspension tuning there's also a
bit of role to better communicate a
sense of speed and while the e400 engine
and transmission aren't calibrated to
provide the explosive forward progress
of the e43 that also means that moves
off with smoothness and refinement and
as we said above it's undeniably quick
for a big fat wagon
perhaps the more important
differentiation is in staring field both
cars using the electromechanical rack
but the e43 variable ratio steps up in
an unnatural and rather joining way
unless you're on the flowing country
road with the right sort of cadence the
e400 has a more natural feeling rack
that's accurate and direct at speed or
in traffic
it's more intuitive and more pleasant to
use and it helps make this hefty Ben's
legitimately fun to hustle around
mercedes-benz is smart not to offer this
powertrain in the lighter side and if it
wants to movie 43 s and so II class
buyers have an interesting choice
there's a strong argument to be made for
the handsome wagon since its stronger
engine adds more to the mix and simply
countering its increased mass its
handsomely proportion and undeniable
utilitarian carrying seven without the
additional weight or higher center of
gravity of a govt class and then there's
the e43 faster and lighter but not much
of the former and the latter is offset
by the greater power train refinement
and supper handling of the 400 wagon at
least until the superlative e63 hits the
scene if you want some performance but
must have a sub and form factor the e43
makes a lot of sense if you can look
beyond any prejudices you may have about
choosing the wagon over a sedan or SUV
we'd argue that the ultimately classes
the e400 it's compelling mix of style
performance and composed refinement is
enough to sell it over the e360 dan
factor in the cargo space seating for
seven and the more pleasant dynamics
when compared to the e 43 and the e400
wagon stands apart
