Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedan or E-Class All-Terrain wagon: which fits Manchester, NH drivers?
The E-Class All-Terrain wagon fits Manchester drivers who want standard 4MATIC® all-wheel drive, air suspension and the most cargo room. The E-Class sedan fits drivers who want the lower starting price and a lower body.
The sections below set out the maker’s figures for cargo, drive, power, price and registration in Manchester, NH.

E-Class All-Terrain for Manchester snow and cargo, the sedan for a lower price
The maker’s figures draw the line. The E 450 4MATIC® All-Terrain holds 64.6 cubic feet of maximum cargo, while every sedan trim holds 12.7 cubic feet. Winter driving in Manchester favors the wagon’s all-wheel drive, and the sedan reaches it only on its 4MATIC® trims.
Pick the sedan when price leads the list. The E 350 Sedan has the lowest starting MSRP in the E-Class lineup. Pick the All-Terrain when cargo room and all-wheel drive matter most.
How much more cargo room does the E-Class All-Terrain have than the sedan?
The E 450 4MATIC® All-Terrain holds 64.6 cubic feet of maximum cargo, the most of the two bodies. Every sedan trim in the maker’s 2026 figures holds 12.7 cubic feet, so the wagon carries far more gear. The difference shows up when you load luggage, sports gear or a week of groceries.
Legroom does not change between the two. Both bodies list 41.5 inches of first-row legroom in the maker’s 2026 figures, so the extra space sits behind the front seats, in the cargo area.
If you load gear often, the All-Terrain gives you the room. If you rarely haul anything bigger than a bag, the sedan gives you the same front-seat space for a lower starting price.
Which E-Class comes with all-wheel drive for Manchester winters?
The E 450 4MATIC® All-Terrain comes with 4MATIC® all-wheel drive as standard. The E-Class sedan offers 4MATIC® on its E 350 4MATIC® and E 450 4MATIC® trims, while the base E 350 sedan is rear-wheel drive.
Manchester averages 48.2 inches of snow a year (Snowdates.com, 2026). Manchester Airport also averages 129.1 days a year with a low at or below 32 degrees Fahrenheit (NOAA, 1991 to 2020 normals). Snow, ice, slush, potholes and steep or untreated roads make ground clearance and all-wheel drive especially valuable.
For a driver who faces those days, the drive system matters more than the body. The All-Terrain gets 4MATIC® as standard. On the sedan, 4MATIC® comes only on the trims that start higher than the base E 350.
What engine and EPA fuel economy does each E-Class have?
Both the sedan and the All-Terrain in the E 450 4MATIC® trim share the same engine, which makes 375 horsepower. EPA certifies the All-Terrain at 22 city, 31 highway and 25 combined.
The E 350 sedan runs a hybrid system with 255 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. In rear-wheel drive, its EPA rating is 25 city, 33 highway and 28 combined.
Pick the trim by the power you need. The E 350 has 255 horsepower, while the sedan and the All-Terrain in the E 450 4MATIC® trim each have 375 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. The All-Terrain and the E 450 4MATIC® sedan carry the same EPA combined rating.
What does each E-Class cost in Manchester, NH?
The E 350 sedan is the lowest starting price in the E-Class lineup, at $63,900. The All-Terrain starts higher, and New Hampshire adds no sales tax to either.
The maker’s starting MSRPs run from $63,900 for the E 350 sedan, to $66,400 for the 4MATIC® version of that sedan, $72,300 for the E 450 4MATIC® sedan and $78,300 for the All-Terrain.
New Hampshire has no general sales tax on goods (New Hampshire Department of Revenue Administration, 2026). The statute makes no distinction by product, so a new or used vehicle bought from a New Hampshire dealer carries no state sales tax (New Hampshire General Court, RSA 78-D:1).
Registration is a separate cost on top of the purchase price, so plan for it in your budget.
Which E-Class body style matches what you need each day?
Choose the All-Terrain if you carry gear through Manchester winters and want standard 4MATIC®. Choose the sedan if a lower starting price and a lower body matter more to you. We sell new E-Class and E-Class Wagon models, so you can compare both bodies in one place.
The maker’s 2026 starting price and maximum cargo, trim by trim:
| Trim | Starting MSRP, 2026 (USD) | Maximum cargo, 2026 (cu ft) |
|---|---|---|
| E 350 Sedan | $63,900 | 12.7 |
| E 350 4MATIC® Sedan | $66,400 | 12.7 |
| E 450 4MATIC® Sedan | $72,300 | 12.7 |
| E 450 4MATIC® All-Terrain | $78,300 | 64.6 |
A buyer who hauls gear gets 64.6 cubic feet only on the All-Terrain. A buyer who keeps cargo light and wants the lowest starting price gets the E 350 Sedan at $63,900.

How does New Hampshire set the registration fee for a new car?
Each New Hampshire city or town collects its own registration permit fee on top of the state fee, set from the vehicle’s list price and model-year age (New Hampshire Revised Statutes Annotated, RSA 261:153, I, 2026). In Manchester, the rate is $18 per $1,000 of MSRP for a current model year vehicle, and $15, $12, $9, $6 and $3 for each older model year. Every figure below is hypothetical. Say a 2026 E 350 Sedan has a $63,900 MSRP: $18 times 63.9 comes to $1,150.20 for a full year, plus the $3.00 Municipal Agent fee (City of Manchester, NH).
