For 1993, Mercedes-Benz expanded its 500-Class line by introducing the next-generation 500SEC Coupe, which joined two sedans (the 500E and 500SEL) and the 500SL convertible.

Like the other cars in the 500-Class, the 1993 version of the 500SEC Coupe featured the automaker's 5.0-liter V8, which produced 315 hp. It was the same engine that powered all the cars in the 500-Class that year, and was coupled with a 4-speed automatic transmission. Standard features of the car included power steering, power windows, power door locks, air conditioning, power seats with memory, leather steering wheel trim, rear window defroster, anti-lock brakes, cruise control, and automatic climate control, among other features.

As far as the other models in the 500-Class are concerned, little changed from the previous year.
