I'm planning on purchasing a new E AWD sedan in late 2016.

I have read that these will be based on a new RWD drive platform.

I need an AWD vehicle. Does anyone know if an AWD version of the new E class will be available?

Thanks.....HBH

We don't "know" but in all likelyhood there will be an AWD version at least within a year of launch if not present immediately.

FYI, every new E Class (MY2014+) sold in Canada is 4Matic or AWD.

4MAtic is also hugely popular for E Class in the US snow belt. I cannot imagine the next generation W213 being introduced without 4Matic being available in the initial first months.

The wagons really seem to be bias towards 4Matic.

Of course the new E will have 4Matic.

Seeing as how the W205 C class is first introduced as 4matic only and RWD a few months later, I would imagine the W213(?) E class would also have 4matic available if not the only option initially like the C class.

Also the GLA is 4matic only initially with FWD models being released a few months later. So this may be a trend..

Two years from now, who knows that the car will have.


I have my 4matic now that is great.
