The Mercedes-Benz W201, affectionately known as the "Baby Benz," was a compact executive car produced by the German automaker from 1982 to 1993. Introduced as a smaller and more affordable alternative to the larger W126 S-Class, the W201 redefined the Mercedes-Benz brand's approach to the executive car segment. It was the first Mercedes-Benz to feature a unibody construction, a departure from the traditional separate body-on-frame design. This allowed for a lighter and more rigid chassis, resulting in improved handling and fuel efficiency. The W201 offered a range of engine options, from the economical 1.8-liter four-cylinder to the powerful 3.0-liter six-cylinder, with both petrol and diesel variants available.

The W201's design was a significant departure from the more traditional Mercedes-Benz styling of the time. It featured sharp lines, a raked windshield, and a more aerodynamic profile. The interior, while still exhibiting the trademark German engineering and build quality, showcased a more modern and driver-focused design. The W201's success was further amplified by its emphasis on safety. It was one of the first cars in its class to feature crumple zones, anti-lock brakes (ABS) as an option, and driver and passenger airbags. The W201's blend of affordability, practicality, performance, and safety made it a remarkably versatile car that appealed to a wider audience than ever before. It established a new standard for the compact executive car segment and left a lasting legacy on the Mercedes-Benz brand.
