These cars, produced from 1968 to 1976, marked a shift towards a more modern and refined design language compared to their predecessors.

These engines, while offering smooth power delivery, were renowned for their durability and low operating costs. The 114/115 series also featured innovative technology for its time, including a fully independent suspension system, disc brakes on all four wheels, and a choice of manual or automatic transmissions. These features, combined with their stylish design, made them popular choices for discerning drivers seeking a blend of comfort, performance, and reliability. The 114/115 series represented a significant step forward for Mercedes-Benz, solidifying their position as a leading manufacturer of luxury automobiles and paving the way for future generations of successful models.
