The compact class now became known as the “ C-Class”, and it was under this new name that Mercedes-Benz introduced the successor to the 190 models in May 1993. This meant that the W 202 series was presented under a generic name analogous to the S-Class (named as such since 1972) and E-Class (which was not given this name until summer 1993). The model designations of the compact class were thus brought into line with the Mercedes-Benz standard: a three-digit number indicated the displacement, and the letter “C” before the number showed the model series origin. The “E” previously used to indicate an injection engine was no longer required since for the past three years this had been the only technology used in Mercedes-Benz petrol-engined passenger cars. And the code for diesel models now included the word “Diesel” rather than just a capital “D”. In comparison with its predecessor, the new car had softer external lines and significantly more space in the interior, along with improved active and passive safety features. Comfort was noticeably enhanced, even though the external dimensions remained virtually unchanged. Standard equipment now included a full-size driver airbag, integral side impact protection, ABS, power steering, five-speed transmission, and central locking. Yet prices were only slightly higher than for the 190 models. #w202 #cclass #c200diesel #oldbenz source: gieldaklasykow.pl photo: Komfort Trans, komfort-trans.pl
