Mercedes-Benz W210
The Mercedes-Benz E-Class (W210) is the second generation of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, produced by Mercedes-Benz and marketed in saloon and estate body styles. Production ran from June 1994 to March 2003 for the saloon and from May 1995 to December 2002 for the estate; market introduction followed in 1995 for the saloon and 1996 for the estate. The saloon was internally designated W 210, while the estate was designated S 210. The model replaced the Mercedes-Benz W124 and was succeeded by the Mercedes-Benz W211. The W210 was introduced in May 1995. Compared with the W124, it used a more rounded body and a front end with four elliptical headlamp lenses, a design commonly known as the “four-eye” face. The estate, marketed by Mercedes-Benz as the T-Modell, followed in June 1996. The saloon was replaced by the W211 in March 2002, and the estate was replaced in December 2002. Total W210 production was 1,653,437 vehicles from Sindelfingen, Rastatt and Graz.
