Super TestCar reviews - Mercedes-Benz - E-class - E220d All-TerrainMercedes-Benz modelsOverviewMercedes All-Terrain is two cylinders away from being all things to all families19 May 2017 TRADITIONAL large wagons face a rockier path than ever before, but the likes of the new Mercedes-Benz E-Class All-Terrain are at least trying to steer around a treacherous sales fall. In local Mercedes-Benz showrooms the single-specification E220d All-Terrain is far removed from the swoopy, glitzy multi-tier GLC and GLE coupe-SUV ranges that have been rushed out – in the case of the latter, mid-model cycle – in an attempt to halt huge BMW X4 and X6 sales.
