Mid-range models from 1984 E-Class and CLS-Class

No other automobile manufacturer than the one with the famous three-pointed star can look back on a company history spanning more than 120 years. For over twelve decades, Mercedes-Benz has stood for both tradition and innovation. Vehicles of this brand were always of exceptionally high quality and usually in the upper price segment.

Although Mercedes-Benz established itself primarily in the upper class, so-called middle class models were also created.
In this book, the well-known automobile historian Heribert Hofner presents the upper middle class passenger car models produced from 1984 onwards and known as the “E-Class” since 1993.

These new models feature angular styling and a leap in technical development and therefore represent a clear break from the middle 123 series, with which the previous volume ends.
Starting with the 124 series, this volume deals with the four main series of the upper middle class of the Swabian premium manufacturer.

In addition to this model, which is characterized by sober edge geometry, the 210 and 211 series with their pleasantly rounded coupé styling and the striking four-eye face are also presented, as is the 212 model family with its sharply cut radiator. The author addresses all body variants in the official delivery program, but also derivatives with a more exclusive character such as the four-door CLS coupé and the E-Class coupés with its convertible version are included in this comprehensive volume of type information.

Supplemented by detailed tables on the technology and illustrated with around 70 photos, this book leaves no questions unanswered for fans of the E-Class from Mercedes-Benz.
