Car articles about Mercedes-Benz 220 D by year
Every third Mercedes-Benz in 1970 was a diesel. At the time, they were the most technically impressive, but also the most expensive diesel engines available. Nevertheless, progress was already gnawing a little at the reputation of the eternally economical and indestructible. After two and a half years of production of the "Stroke Eight", this historical test report took stock.
The petrol four-cylinder engines were the superior middle ground between the diesel and six-cylinder engines in the Mercedes-Benz "Stroke Eight". Although the diesels were much more economical, the overtaking performance of the 200 easily surpassed that of the 220 D, and you had to pay a lot more for the six-cylinder models. This historical article examines the type and prices, and advises which of the many extras are worthwhile and which are not.
The /8 sedan from Mercedes is one of the most popular sedan classics. It was built as the four-cylinder W 115 series from 1967 to 1976. Together with the six-cylinder models (W 114), almost two million units were produced and these cars are a prime example of long-term quality and robustness. In 1971, Auto Revue tested the 220 model and was more than just impressed after around 6000 km. This article reproduces the wording of the test report at the time and is illustrated with many historical pictures.
