The Mercedes-Benz 190D, 190Db, and 190SL were a trio of compact executive cars produced by Mercedes-Benz from 1982 to 1993. These models marked a significant departure from the brand's traditional image, entering the burgeoning compact executive car segment that was being dominated by rivals like BMW and Audi. They were notable for their distinctive "baby-Benz" styling, showcasing a sleek, aerodynamic design with a low drag coefficient, a feature that was ahead of its time. The 190D, powered by a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated diesel engine, offered impressive fuel efficiency and was particularly popular in Europe. The 190Db, introduced in 1985, was a high-performance version powered by a turbocharged 2.5-liter diesel engine, offering more power and torque compared to the 190D. Then there was the 190SL, a luxurious and sporty variant positioned as a more premium option within the 190 series. It featured a powerful 2.3-liter petrol engine, a refined suspension system, and an upscale interior, making it a desirable choice for those seeking a combination of performance and luxury. The Mercedes-Benz 190 series became a landmark achievement for the German manufacturer, breaking new ground in design, technology, and engineering. It solidified Mercedes-Benz's reputation for building reliable, durable, and sophisticated cars, despite challenging economic times during its production run. Notably, the 190 series introduced numerous innovations like the innovative multi-link rear suspension, which was later adopted across the Mercedes-Benz range.
