A completely new radiance - Mercedes-Benz 220 in the (historic) test

March 29, 2024 — Heinz Sponsel 18

Only the name remained from the previous 220 model: from 1954, the Mercedes-Benz 220 was presented with a modern pontoon body, revised engine and improved chassis. The new single-joint swing axle at the rear in particular increased driving safety to a previously unknown level. The six-cylinder engine was significantly more elastic than before. This historical test report provides a more detailed verdict.

Comfortable and surprisingly sporty - Mercedes-Benz 220 S (historical test)

July 16, 2017 — Paul Schweder 19

With the Type 220 S, Mercedes-Benz presented a luxury-class saloon in 1956 that excelled with more power and comfort and even showed sporty talents. The six-cylinder engine produced 100 hp and took the saloon to 160 km/h. Paul Schweder was also won over by the elegant car, even if he still had a few small improvements to make. This article reproduces the original wording of the krafthand road test from 1956 and shows the car in many historical pictures.
