Hitch Your Expectations to the 2020 E 450 Wagon

There are many reasons to like a wagon-styled car. For one, it offers more space than a sedan. They also typically feature a better fuel economy than an SUV. While many car makers have shied away from making wagon vehicles, Mercedes has continued to press on, and done a great job in refining the model. This is best evidenced with its most recent wagon launch, the E 450.

There’s a lot of power to this wagon

Get this – the E 450 wagon is outfitted with a 3.0L bi-turbo V6 engine that capably produces over 360 horsepower and a whopping 369lb-ft of torque. The tremendous power that this wagon’s engine is able to exert does not feel out of place as all of it is sent directly to the wheels via the car’s 9-speed transmission. This, in turn, makes for a super fun driving experience in a wagon of all things.

Souped-up acceleration

As mentioned in the earlier slide, the E 450 generates 369lb-ft of torque. All of this comes from just 1800rpm. For those unfamiliar, this translates to near-immediate acceleration off the line. And if you keep your foot pedal pressed to the ground you’ll time yourself going from 0 to 60mph in just 5 seconds. Again, this is in a wagon!

The type of interior you’d expect from a world-class luxury car maker

Sure, the power and acceleration of the E 450 are impressive, but if you are buying a Mercedes-Benz vehicle, it’s safe to say that you expect to enjoy some of the finer features that the German carmaker is known for having in its vehicles. The E 450 is of course, very well appointed, with a giant control display front and center, leather all throughout, dual-zone climate control, heated seats, 64-color LED ambient lighting (with illuminated vents, naturally), and more, much, much more.

Sporty handling for a wagon

Everything is very well supported via the car’s suspension, and in fact gives the wagon a somewhat sporty driving experience, especially when it comes to handling curves and corners. Steering is responsive, and the whole system is well focused on providing the driver with adequate, timely feedback.

If you’re in the market for a wagon, the E450 is the way to go … and it’ll cost you

In case you haven’t picked up on it yet, the E 450 is part of Mercedes’ “E-class” of vehicles. And if you’re unfamiliar with the company’s naming structure, this particular class is considered to be “upscale”. The base model will put you back $65,000 and if you’re looking for any sort of added package, an additional feature, etc., you’ll easily surpass the $70k benchmark.
