Mercedes E Class
The Mercedes-Benz E-Class
is a mid-sized luxury automobile sold by the
Mercedes-Benz branch of DaimlerChrysler. The
model line is available with various six and
eight-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines.
The E stood for Einspritzung, which is German
for fuel injection, which was a very new feature
at the time the "E" first appeared
in the 1950s. The E-Class is the bestselling
Mercedes-Benz model worldwide.
The "E-Class"
name first appeared with the W124, launched
in 1986. Though earlier gasoline models bore
the "E" designator, the entire line
was officially "the E-Class" now.
The 300D continued to be the high-mileage
option, but V8 engines (available after 1992)
brought newfound power to the line. The cars
were renamed from "300E" to "E320"
with the new 3.2 litre engines and naming
rationalization of 1994.
