1990 Mercedes-Benz 190-Class Preview summaryImage

With the introduction of the 190 series, Mercedes-Benz was going for mass appeal. The smallest model available from the carmaker, nicknamed the "Baby Benz," the 190 was a "family friendly" sedan. And thanks to its relatively affordable entry-level price matched with Mercedes' impeccable engineering, it was a largely successful model with car buyers.

Throughout its run, the Mercedes-Benz 190 was available in a variety of gas and diesel engine options, as well as limited editions that included such options a leather seats and alloy wheels.

However, for 1990 the 190 came only with a 2.6-liter, 6-cylinder gas engine that generated 158 hp. A 5-speed manual overdrive transmission was standard, though a 4-speed automatic was available as an option. Other standard equipment included anti-lock breaks, a driver's-side airbag, power windows, power door locks, and air conditioning. Options included a sunroof and leather seats -- not bad for an entry-level Mercedes.

The classic Baby Benz. One of a kind in appearance. No hesitation, great acceleration. I wouldn't trade it for the world. It only cost me 1500, and is an absolute blast to drive. If anybody was ever thinking about buying one you should.Aug 08, 2012

Unfortunately, having this car was one endless nightmare. Its engine would stop if i ever passed through water during winter, and the temperature of the engine would go as high as starting to release smoke during summer. I would never touch a Mercedes after that experience.Dec 23, 2011
