Thank you! No rear wheel steering unfortunately. Does the sedan also have 896 digital key standard? I'm happy it's finally coming to the US.

Some nice standard equipment and a few annoyances…but the biggest disappointment for me is apparently no 4-zone climate in the US.
I seem to recall that 214 is the last model that will have a wagon in the US? Or am I mistaken?

Thanks for posting. Verde silver, and the new 20" AMG wheels look promising. Is that 4D Burmester the maxed out stereo for all W214s...or is there a five dimensional final boss available only to sedans (similar to the w213)?

Thank you for posting this. I am a bit sad to see tha there are no wood steering wheel options. that has always been available on wagons. I think most wagon owners I know like that! Maybe this is a first draft version?Originally Posted by Eaton

^ Doubt it will be coming. The wood interior trims on the W214 are all ‘open pore’; none of the traditional polished which could be paired with the wood wheel. It’s a more contemporary luxury look, for better and for worse.
The German configurator has more options than we are being offered…including the aforementioned 4-zone climate control…but the wood trims are the same.

Not a fan of wood steering wheels, they burn one here in Texas with the 5 months of over 100F heat and in the winter they are freezing. Originally Posted by Zanine1208!

The MB wood steering wheel has Napa leather grips at the 9 & 3 positions. I never grip the steering wheel elsewhere. I have one and in Florida it is always comfortable.

Many thanks for sending, I was remember the my sister's GLS 450 has an open pore wood dash and wheel. Oh well, I bet you are right though that they feel they look less modern lux.
