First Drive: 2011 Mercedes-Benz E350 4Matic Wagon


Sure-footed four-corner traction: Standard. Height-adjustable AirMatic suspension for deep-snow ground clearance: Standard. Luggage-rack rails ready to accept your Thule ski-rack: Standard (and low enough to show off your Dynastar Ferrari sticks at a comfortable viewing height). Seating for seven (okay, five and two-halves): Standard. Iconic style and a hood ornament that commands respect from the apres-ski club valets: Standard. Could there be a more perfect vehicle than the new Mercedes E-Class wagon for driving up to Deer Valley, Whistler, or Hochgurgl, Austria?Mercedes-Benz invited us to the latter (if you can say it without dislodging any phlegm, you get a night free) to sample its new E350 4Matic Wagon's suitability to wintry driving. The visit started with a tech briefing held in an igloo and concluded with a driving session on some of the most nicely groomed parking lots and most gorgeous snow-covered mountain roads on planet earth.

Stunning. Just like the W211 T model.....I really do love it!!! Looks great from every angle, and I would choose it over the sedan for sure...

Love the estate. I always thought MB estates looked generally a bit nicer than their sedan counterparts.

Mismatched Photos

Did anyone notice that the interior photos were not from the car tested. I found it funny that people complained about the interior even though there would be several differences between the one shown and the US model.

I do hope they offer it with sport/avantgarde trim in the US, and perhaps a diesel, although they seem pretty set on the one wagon idea.
