The Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.6, produced from 1986 to 1993, was a compact executive sedan that marked a significant evolution in Mercedes-Benz's design philosophy. It was the first Mercedes to feature a unibody construction, a departure from the traditional separate body and chassis arrangement. This structural design allowed for a lighter and more rigid structure, contributing to better handling and safety. The 190E 2.6 was powered by a 2.6-liter, naturally aspirated, inline-six engine producing 160 horsepower. This powerplant was known for its smoothness and refinement, making it a joy to drive. The car was also offered with a variety of transmissions, including a 4-speed automatic and a 5-speed manual.

Despite its compact size, the 190E 2.6 was packed with luxury features, including comfortable seating, a high-quality interior, and a well-equipped dashboard. It also offered a range of optional extras, including sunroof, air conditioning, and power windows. The 190E 2.6's driving dynamics were also impressive, with a well-balanced suspension and precise steering. It offered a comfortable ride while sacrificing none of its sporty handling characteristics. Although it may seem outdated by today's standards, the 190E 2.6 was a remarkable car for its time, setting the stage for the compact executive sedan segment that continues to thrive today. It blended luxury, performance, and practicality in a way that was both appealing and innovative, making it a highly sought-after classic among Mercedes enthusiasts.
