The Mercedes-Benz 180, 190, and 220 were a series of compact executive cars produced by Mercedes-Benz from 1968 to 1976. These models were part of the W115 series, known internally as the "Strich Acht" (Stroke Eight), due to its eight-cylinder engine. They were the first Mercedes-Benz models to be offered with a four-cylinder engine, and they were also the first to feature a monocoque body construction. This move marked a significant shift in Mercedes-Benz's strategy toward producing more affordable and accessible vehicles, while still maintaining their reputation for quality and performance. The 180 model, powered by a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine, was positioned as the entry-level model, while the 220 was the top-of-the-line model, powered by a 2.2-liter four-cylinder engine. The 190, meanwhile, offered various engine options, including the 1.8-liter four-cylinder and the 2.2-liter four-cylinder, catering to a wider range of consumer needs. The W115 series cars were known for their comfortable ride, spacious interior, and reliable performance. They were also lauded for their safety features, which included a strong body structure, a padded dashboard, and disc brakes on all four wheels. The design was sleek and timeless, with a distinctive grille and long, flowing lines. Their popularity in the 1970s contributed to Mercedes-Benz's growing global market share. Although production of the W115 ended in 1976, it left a lasting legacy on the automotive industry, inspiring the design and engineering of future Mercedes-Benz models. The W115 series cars also paved the way for the introduction of more compact models, further expanding the Mercedes-Benz brand's appeal to a broader audience seeking a balance of luxury, performance, and affordability.
