Sitting within the W124 model range, the 260E was known for its smooth and refined driving experience, underpinned by a potent yet economical 2.6-liter six-cylinder engine. This powerplant, codenamed M103, generated a respectable 160 horsepower, delivered through a 4-speed automatic transmission or a 5-speed manual gearbox. The 260E also featured an independent suspension system with MacPherson struts at the front and a multi-link rear suspension, ensuring a comfortable and composed ride. Further enhancing its appeal was the standard inclusion of power steering, air conditioning, and plush leather upholstery, positioning the 260E as a luxurious and comfortable daily driver.
