Our quick take
Alternatives to consider
Mercedes-Benz E-Class All-Terrain - 4.5 / 5
First cousin of the G-Wagen
Not an SUV, but essentially as capable
Doing the business off-road
All the usual refinements
Everything as standard
Life on-board is pretty sweet
To recap
An estate car on-stilts, but one that can show the odd sports car a clean set of wheels and still tow a two-tonne horse box up a muddy hill. Spacious, refined, feels premium and equipped to an unusually high specification for a Mercedes-Benz, the E-Class All-Terrain is expensive, but given the talent on offer that feels entirely justified especially when compared to a large, premium SUV. Stylish and extremely capable, the All-Terrain has winning qualities.
