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.
