奔驰计划推出一款越野旅行车以迎战奥迪A6 Allroad。该车将基于E级旅行车，有可能命名为E级全地形（All-Terrain）。这款车将于今年9月与E级旅行车一起发布，随后将于年底在欧洲上市。目前还不清楚奔驰是否还批准开发C级全地形，但奔驰销售副总裁Matthias Luhrs先前曾表示“公司显然正在考虑这个问题”。除了增加E级全地形外，奔驰还宣布计划在今年推出三款车型。首先是八月发布C级敞篷版，随后是GLC轿跑车和升级版C 450 AMG 4MATIC，后者预计将配备新的9G-TRONIC九速自动变速器。

 

Mercedes E-Class All-Terrain set to battle the Audi A6 Allroad

Mercedes has reportedly confirmed plans to launch an off-road inspired wagon to battle the Audi A6 Allroad.

 

According to Motoring, the model will be based on the E Class Estate and wear the E Class All-Terrain moniker. The car will reportedly be introduced in September alongside the standard wagon.

 

European sales are expected to begin by the end of the year but a U.S. launch seems unlikely as Mercedes' Matthias Luhrs has previously said the popularity of crossover-inspired wagons is largely market dependent and Americans simply "don't like station wagons."

 

There's no word on whether or not Mercedes has also green-lighted a C Class All-Terrain but Luhrs has previously said the company is "obviously" considering it.

 

Besides confirming plans for an E Class All-Terrain, Mercedes reportedly announced plans to introduce three other models this year. First and foremost, the company is slated to introduce the new C Class Convertible in August. It will reportedly be followed by the GLC Coupe and an upgraded version of the C 450 AMG 4MATIC. The latter model is expected to have minor modifications including a new 9G-TRONIC nine-speed automatic transmission.
