Reviews SummaryPeople buy SUVs for many reasons. Some people prefer to sit up high for a better view out. Some people find them easier to get into and out of than a car. Some people want the added cargo space and utility. Some people want AWD for foul weather and heading into the wilderness. Some people want the rugged image. Some people want the feeling of safety. Some people want all of these things and are willing to trade the superior driving dynamics and greater fuel efficiency of a car in order to get them. But now it seems like everyone has an SUV, and they’re getting tired. They’re getting old. They’re so Boomer. And some people—who perhaps view themselves as free-thinking individualists—might be seeking a new and different vehicle to drive that isn’t one of those wacky SUV coupes. Enter the 2021 Mercedes-Benz E-Class All-Terrain wagon, which essentially applies a Subaru Outback treatment to a luxury station wagon—and to compelling effect. | |
