The Mercedes-Benz 190D, 190Db, and 190SL were a trio of automobiles produced by the German manufacturer Mercedes-Benz between 1968 and 1983. These compact sedans, marketed as the "Baby Benz," represented a departure from the opulent and luxurious image of Mercedes-Benz at the time. They were aimed at a younger, more budget-conscious clientele, offering a blend of practicality and the renowned Mercedes durability and engineering. The 190D was powered by a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder diesel engine, offering fuel efficiency and a robust, reliable powertrain. The 190Db, introduced in 1978, was a more powerful variant with a 2.5-liter, four-cylinder petrol engine, providing increased performance and a more lively driving experience. Lastly, the 190SL, a coupe version of the 190D, was produced from 1968 to 1971 and featured a distinctive sloping roofline, a sportier aesthetic, and a unique, luxurious interior.

Despite their smaller size and more affordable price point, the 190D, 190Db, and 190SL maintained the high standards of build quality and engineering characteristic of Mercedes-Benz. They featured robust construction, precise handling, and a comfortable interior. Their compact dimensions made them highly maneuverable in urban environments while still providing ample space for passengers and cargo. Although the 190D, 190Db, and 190SL models may not have achieved the same iconic status as later Mercedes-Benz models, they played a crucial role in expanding the brand's reach to a broader market while retaining the core values of reliability, quality, and innovation. These vehicles offered a compelling blend of practicality, affordability, and the undeniable Mercedes-Benz engineering excellence, making them sought-after classics for car enthusiasts and collectors today.
