E450 Wagon
W213 wagon vs W212 Wagon drag coefficient??

I have searched and searched but find nothing.
Does anyone know the Cd ( drag coefficient) of a

W212 E 350 Wagon/ like a 2013 Vs

W 213 E 450 All Terr Wagon, 2021??

The new wagon has a lot of rounded/ tapering/ well engineered areas, especially at the rear.
It seems to be much quieter and rear window gathers less dust/dirt.

Very curious on actual drag coefficient figures.

And a nice Cd figure probably helps with the great mpg of the E450 Wagon.
I recently did first highway mileage test and was amazed at the 36.9 mpg 😍

Thanks for any help on this.
All I found was spec sheets with Cd blank or listed as not available 🙁

I believe I saw a 0.29 for the W213 sedan. Never saw a Cd figure for the wagon published anywhere.

I have a 2022 wagon and was curious about the wagon’s Cd figure too. In a recent 240 mile, mostly highway trip, I averaged 32.3mpg, at 75-85mph during the trip. For the trip I kept it in comfort mode. I think if the highway trip was longer, the mpg average would have certainly moved higher.

Thank you, Konigstiger. Assuming the sedan’s differences carry onto the wagon, then the Cd for the facelifted version of the wagon, is in the 0.28 range.
