“Wagons do not sell in the United States.”
This is what many automakers repeatedly claim whenever we ask if a particular vehicle’s wagon variant will arrive in the U.S. or not. This statement is especially true for luxury wagons, from premium brands, with hefty price tags. However, motoring journalists like me who are also wagon lovers by default, have to thank manufacturers like Mercedes-Benz. Despite the market trends, they decided to sell a wagon in the U.S., thus keeping our wagon fantasy alive this side of the Atlantic.
So, when I was watching the live unveiling of the 2017 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Wagon earlier this week, I was absolutely speechless. I mean, just look at it! What’s New
Compared to the previous E-Class wagon, the 2017 model is slightly smaller with a less boxy cargo bay, resulting in less cargo volume than before. With the second-row seats folded, the cargo volume measures in at 22.6 cubic feet or 0.9 cubic feet less than its W212 predecessor. However, the new E-Class wagon still boasts more cargo carrying capacity than its main rivals, the Audi A6 Avant and BMW 5 Series Touring.
For those concerned about the width of the cargo bay, the minimum width of the cargo floor between the wheel arches is 43.3 inches.
