Mercedes-AMG C53 wagon spied with Panamericana grille, quad tips

You can criticize Mercedes as much as you want for diluting its SUV offer, but the truth is, this approach works just fine financially. Still, those who’d rather grab a station wagon may be interested in looking forward to the new C53 – here it is, running pre-production tests as usual.

The long-roofed vehicle does a good job concealing its body proportions and details, but its quad exhaust tips are a dead giveaway that it’s a C53 model. Other highlights include a Panamericana front grille and what looks like finalized production-ready bodywork.

The W206 C-Class sedan is expected to break cover late this year, and its wagon counterpart should follow soon thereafter.
