The Mercedes 190 is a four-seat sedan that debuted in 1982. With the advent of this car, the Stuttgart concern "Mercedes" took the lead in popularity in the D segment. This model became a direct competitor to such a well-known car as the "troika" from BMW. And several nuances contributed to such popularity.
Shapes
First of all, I would like to tell you about the dimensions of the Mercedes 190. The shape of this model has obvious advantages. Although many critics claimed that the design turned out to be very conservative, but in fact it is just a classic. In any case, it is presented as such today. But the advantage is a high-quality paintwork anti-corrosion coating of the body. Even after thirty years, the car retains a fresh look (if you take care of it, of course).
This car was nicknamed Baby Benz because of its small size. Then the concern had before itself the task of making a light and compact car that would not consume a lot of fuel. Because in the 80s Mercedes-Benz was going through a certain crisis, so it was very importantcreate such a model. Well, it turned out great.
Interior
Mercedes 190 from the inside looks very good. The interior, of course, is democratic and strict, but everything is designed in the corporate style of Mercedes. After all, this is the principle of the company, its feature. Comfort and presentability above all else. The dashboard does not abound with any frills, but the steering wheel is large, comfortable, fits perfectly in the hand. The round scales of the pointer instruments do not attract too much attention, and the indicators are easy to read from them. The center console is also very concise, and the wide seats are more reminiscent of home chairs. They are very comfortable and moderately soft.
The developers have taken care of comfort. The heating system deserves special attention. A stove was built into the car, which allows you to individually adjust the air temperature for the passenger and driver separately. Due to this feature, the Mercedes-Benz 190 received positive reviews. After all, a comfortable microclimate in the car is very important. And it was clear to the developers.
Equipment
Mercedes 190 is a car with excellent passive and active safety. From the very beginning of production, this model was equipped with ABS disc brakes. The practical multi-function wiper and light switch are also considered safety features. The functionality and reliability of these devices are so high that you can not pay attention to them at all. This model is the only one of all Mercedes cars that is equipped withtraditional manual parking brake.
The pendant deserves special attention. It has excellent smoothness. The 190th is considered the first Mercedes to be equipped with a 5-link independent rear suspension. It allowed for a truly high ride comfort and unshakable cornering stability.
Powertrains
This car was originally equipped exclusively with 2-liter 4-cylinder gasoline engines. They were not particularly powerful and did not give the opportunity to accelerate to a speed that would inspire. However, seeing how popular these models are becoming, manufacturers have decided to equip them with more powerful engines. This is how a 185-horsepower expressive engine appeared, allowing you to reach a speed of 225 km / h. Interestingly, it was the 190th Mercedes that set the world record in Nardo on the ring track. It could accelerate to 100 kilometers in 7.5 seconds. Not all modern cars can demonstrate this today.
Thus, a car that was originally created as an economical and modest car, became a world record holder and one of the most striking models of Mercedes.
