Summary

"A top car in the European mid-size class, balanced in terms of dimensions, comfort, performance and economy. Spacious, comfortable five-seater and yet agile and fast. Very good road holding, making it sporty to drive at high average speeds on all roads." - Yes, the testers of the Motor-Rundschau 1962 summarized their impressions just as soberly and objectively, which we reproduce in this article in the equally objective original wording.

Preview (beginning of the article)

Daimler-Benz mid-size cars have always been particularly sophisticated in terms of overall design and detail. They offer five people with high demands a comfortable passenger compartment that is sufficiently wide and long, sufficiently high and yet not "leggy". With around 148 cm of elbow room, the driver and front passenger never cramp each other. Thanks to an average interior height of 115 to 125 cm, the armchairs and the bench seat can have comfortable, sufficiently high seating surfaces of 28 to 36 cm above the floor, while the head height at the front and rear remains fully adequate at 90 to 95 cm.
