While the rest of the world was caught in the bio-design trend frenzy, Mercedes-Benz stood on its path and wrote its own rules. Thus, the W124 still sported the same rectangular headlights as the 1985 model.
This was one of the most successful vehicles in Mercedes-Benz’s history, with over 2.7-million units produced between 1984 and 1997.
Inside, the built quality was impressive. Even though the dashboard looked kind of old or outdated, the wood trims, the leather, and the chromed metallic parts looked better than in any car on the market.
Moreover, the W124 featured, options, automatic climate control, a Bose sound system, heated seats, and power everything.
Under the hood, the W124 offered a wide choice of gasoline or turbo-diesel engines. Depending on the version, they were paired with either manual or automatic transmission.
A novelty for this W124 was the introduction of the all-wheel drive system, named 4Matic, in Mercedes-Benz’s designation.
