Mercedes Benz E Class All Terrain 4x4 Squared Is The Wagon Of Our Dreams

While Mercedes-Benz may mostly be known for their luxury and performance cars, it's no stranger to capable off-roaders. Since its birth, the G-Class has shined in situations that would leave lesser vehicles broken and stranded. While most owners may never push a vehicle like that to its limits, knowing what it's capable of is half the fun. Engineer Jürgen Eberle decided that the G-Wagen couldn't have all the fun, which is why he mated a set of portal axles to a wagon to create the E-Class All-Terrain 4x4².

Sometimes engineers want to have a little fun, which is how we end up with vehicles like the G63 6x6 and G500 4x4². Like the All-Terrain 4x4², both of those G-Wagens are equipped with portal axles. These special axles put the center of the wheel below the center of the axle, increasing the ground clearance without a big, low-sitting differential. The real challenge was adapting the portal axles to the E-Class' fully-independent suspension.
