The Mercedes-Benz 180, 190, and 220 were a series of compact executive cars produced by Mercedes-Benz from 1968 to 1985. These models marked a departure from the traditional large and luxurious Mercedes-Benz image, offering a more affordable and practical option for discerning drivers. The 180, 190, and 220 were based on a new platform, featuring a unibody construction and a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout. They were initially available as a 4-door saloon, with a 2-door coupé and 3-door estate model added later. The cars were renowned for their robust build quality, refined driving experience, and advanced engineering.
Powertrains ranged from the 1.8-liter M115 engine in the 180, producing 85 horsepower, to the 2.2-liter M115 in the 220, offering 110 horsepower. The 190, equipped with a 2.0-liter M115 engine, generated 95 horsepower. These engines were notably smooth and fuel-efficient for their time. The 180, 190, and 220 models featured independent front suspension with coil springs and a rear swing axle suspension. This combination provided a comfortable ride and decent handling, although the rear suspension could be prone to some instability at higher speeds. The cars were known for their long-lasting reliability and high resale value, making them popular choices for both private owners and businesses. The Mercedes-Benz 180, 190, and 220 were significant vehicles in the company's history, establishing the brand's presence in the compact executive car segment and contributing to its reputation for quality and engineering excellence.
