According to relevant reports, the matter was discussed inside Mercedes-Benz as early as September 2021, and it now seems that the idea of canceling the station wagon may prevail. Some analysts pointed out that the reason why Mercedes-Benz made this decision may be related to the electrification transformation. According to the analysis, electrification transformation requires a lot of human and financial resources. The Mercedes-Benz station wagon is not prominent in terms of sales and eventually faces the fate of being cut.

But there are reports that Mercedes is working on alternatives to station wagons. It is reported that this new model will combine the advantages of SUVs and the design of the sedan to better hide the battery.

Not only Mercedes-Benz, according to foreign media reports, some cars and travel models of the Volvo S series and V series will be cancelled, while Volvo's SUV models will receive more care in research and development and production, of which the XC series of SUV models are the top priority.
