* But not the U.S. — at least, not yet.

Add the Mercedes-Benz C-Class Wagon to the list of vehicles available in Canada and not the United States. Mercedes-Benz Canada announced Thursday it would begin selling the long-roof version of the C-Class this year. To add insult to injury, it will be a diesel with all-wheel drive — and that’s it.

Mercedes did not disclose what shades of brown will be available.

The previous-generation C-Class wagon was not available in Canada or the United States.

When the C-Class Wagon goes on sale later this year, it will be powered by a 2.1-liter four-cylinder turbodiesel engine producing 200 horsepower and 369 lbs-ft of torque sending power to all four wheels through the automaker’s 4MATIC all-wheel-drive system. While not detailed, the C-Class Wagon will likely receive the same seven-speed automatic as the E 250 BlueTec.

MSRP and exact on-sale date were not disclosed.

So, who’s going to be visiting The Great White North this year?

    Those E-wagons, and I assume all E-class are pretty discounted with the all new replacement on the horizon. I'm going to have to replace my 2000 E-wagon some day and was kicking around a local dealer. The salesman started at 8k under sticker, even though I told him I'm not in the market. Lightly optioned, you can probably get near $50k. It ain't cheap, but a lot of car for the money. The AMG version is still 6 figures though.

    I suspect the oil burning all wheeldrive is just to prove that Americans do not want wagons!!

  • Ras815 The low-ish combined EPA rating on the hybrid version might be a bit misleading - I'd imagine in a real-world case, you could see a substantial improvement in around-town driving/hauling compared to the gas equivalent.

  • Analoggrotto Kia Tasman is waiting to offer the value quotient to the discerning consumer and those who have provided healthy loyalty numbers thinks to class winning product such as Telluride, Sorento, Sportage and more. Vehicles like this overpriced third world junker are for people who take out massive loans and pay it down for 84 months while Kia buyers of grand affluence choose shorter lease terms to stay fresh and hip with the latest excellence of HMC.
  • SCE to AUX That terrible fuel economy hardly seems worth the premium for the hybrid.Toyota is definitely going upmarket with the new Tacoma; we'll see if they've gone too far for people's wallets.As for the towing capacity - I don't see a meaningful difference between 6800 lbs and 6000 lbs. If you routinely tow that much, you should probably upgrade your vehicle to gain a little margin.As for the Maverick - I doubt it's being cross-shopped with the Tacoma very much. Its closest competitor seems to be the Santa Cruz.
