Mercedes-Benz 250 SE
(1965 - 1968)
Car articles about Mercedes-Benz 250 SE by year
From 1959 to 1968 (Coupé and Cabriolet until 1971), the Mercedes-Benz W111 model series and its offshoots W110 and W112 were the benchmark in the luxury car class. The saloons, colloquially known as the big and small hatchbacks, impressed - especially in the top versions - with their high level of safety and comfort, impressive looks and self-confident price tags. In this vehicle report, the three model series are brought into order and a Mercedes-Benz 220 S is portrayed in detail, supplemented by many historical illustrations and a sales brochure.
If you were looking for a sporty coupé with saloon qualities and luxury-class comfort in the second half of the 1960s, there was really no way around the Mercedes-Benz 250 SE Coupé. With a top speed of 185 km/h, it was one of the fastest and, with disc brakes and fuel injection, one of the most advanced. Even 50 years later, the elegant coupé is still impressive. This driving report tells the story of the four- to five-seater coupé and shows it in current and historical pictures, as well as in the sales brochure.
The predecessor was actually visually outdated just one year after its debut. Nevertheless, Daimler-Benz took until 1965 to iron the fashionable tail fins out of the dress of its top models. But it was worth the wait. The new Mercedes-Benz 250 S appealed with its elegant, understated lines and proved to be a comfortable top product - with a surprisingly sporty engine. This historical test report clarifies whether it harmonized with the automatic transmission.
In 1968, hobby tester Heinz Kranz was given the opportunity to drive the new Mercedes Benz 300 SEL 6.3. He was extremely impressed by the temperament and the driving characteristics and only questioned the size of this market niche. The refreshed report shows his findings in detail and compares the representative car with its competitors.
