Report: W214 Mercedes E-Class Wagon Confirmed for U.S.

Mercedes-Benz has submitted its intended U.S. lineup with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for the 2024 model year and the E-Class wagon is back on the list. With the W214 generation having just been introduced, everyone has been wondering which versions of Mercedes’ midsize model would make it to our shores. But it looks like we’re only getting the All-Terrain variant for now.

  • SCE to AUX I've had two cars 12 years each; both were used and succumbed to rust at 15 and 13 years old, respectively. My shortest ownership was 1 year (1st car, actually), and the youngest car I ever parted with was 2 years old (lemon). I can't imagine running a car 15 years; I'd die of boredom.
  • MaintenanceCosts Why are these EVs styled as if they have a big gas engine up front? Also something on the order of "VW software lol."
  • Frank There’s a continuance of polluting the natural environment with a business as usual attitude. Societally, we still discharge out of elevated exhaust pipes, smoke stacks and, quite consequentially, from sky-high jet engines like it’s all absorbed into the natural environment without repercussion. Out of sight, out of mind.Here in the West, many drivers of superfluously huge and over-powered thus gas-guzzling vehicles seem to consider it a basic human right, perhaps because it's an extension of their phallic ego. It may scare those drivers just to contemplate a world in which they can no longer readily fuel that extension, especially since much quieter electric cars are for them no substitute. I’ll see parked vehicles idling for many minutes in moderate weather temperatures. There'll also be the odd choking-thick-exhaust-spewing vanity vehicle, a metallic beast with the signature gratuitously very large body and wheels that don’t at all appear intended for work or family transport. They look like they may get 30 gallons to the mile. And when parked roadside they hazardously block the view of low-car operators turning or crossing through stop-signed intersections.Inside each is the operator, typically staring down into their lap, probably their smartphones. They may be some of the people posting protestations onto various social-media platforms about a possible gas price increase, however comparatively small.Meanwhile, Canada’s carbon tax manages to induce shrill complaints here, especially by the corporate news-media — even though it’s more than recouped (except for high-income earners) via federal government rebate. The disturbing mass addiction to fossil fuel products by the larger public undoubtedly helps keep the average consumer quiet about the planet’s greatest polluter, lest the consumer be deemed hypocritical.
  • Jonathan I like the looks. I remember the Scout II from IH when I was a kid. But I'm not even remotely interested in an EV or anything from VW. So no thanks.
