This innovation, coupled with its aerodynamic design and advanced suspension system, positioned the W201 as a benchmark for handling and performance in its segment. It offered a range of four-cylinder, five-cylinder, and six-cylinder petrol engines, along with a diesel option, providing a compelling blend of power and efficiency.

The iconic 190E 2.3-16, with its powerful engine and motorsport heritage, further solidified the W201's reputation as a driver's car.
