Mercedes Benz e class

FOLLOW US
The Mercedes-Benz E-Class is a range of
executive cars manufactured by Mercedes-
Benz in various engine and body
configurations. The E initially stood for
Einspritzmotor (German for fuel injection
engine); a new feature in volume production
vehicles at the time that the E-Class first
appeared, with the E as a suffix to the engine
nomenclature (e.g. 230E) in the 1950s. It was
not until the launch of the facelifted W124
that the E was used as a prefix (i.e., E220)
and the model referred to officially as the E-
Class (or E-Klasse ). At this time all Mercedes
cars used fuel injection and the company felt
it was not necessary to add this as a
distinguishing feature. Due to the E-Class's
size and durability, the cars also frequently
serve as taxis in European countries. Older
models like the W123 and W124 are used in
Malaysia as inter-state taxis, and the W211 is
used in Singapore as a taxi. Mercedes-Benz
also offers special-purpose vehicles (e.g.,
police or ambulance modifications) from the
factory. [1]

Main article: Mercedes-Benz W120
The first modern mid size Mercedes was the
W120 'Ponton' 180 of 1953. Sharing its
engineering with the R121 190 SL of 1955,
the Ponton was a stylish sedan with four-
cylinder power. A larger-engined W121 190
appeared in 1958.
W110 'Fintail' (1961–1968)
Main article: Mercedes-Benz W110
Mercedes added tailfins to both the big S-
Class and the new W110 'Fintail' 190 of 1962.
Straight-6 power appeared for the first time in
the 1965 230 model, and the fours grew in
displacement that year as well.
W114/W115 'Stroke-8' (1968–
1976)
Main article: Mercedes-Benz W114
The mid size Mercedes was redesigned in
1968 as the W114/W115 'Stroke-8' . This time,
the 6-cylinder models (The W114s) were most
prevalent, with the W115 line making up the
bottom of the company's offerings with four –
and five-cylinder power. Diesel engines joined
the line-up, as did a coupé body.
W123 (1976–1986)
Main article: Mercedes-Benz W123
The popular W123 quickly became a best-
seller on its launch in 1976. Especially in
Diesel 240D (and later 300D ) guises, the cars
enhanced the company's reputation for
product quality. Over 2.6 million were
produced until the end of production in 1986.
Saloon/Sedan, Coupé and Estate body
configurations were offered.
