In the 70s, the auto business began to experience a lot of difficulties due to the growing oil crisis. The Mercedes-Benz company, despite its constant growing sales rates, could not get away from the fall in the market. As a result, mb decided to create a small economy class model with the lowest fuel consumption.

In 1982, Mercedes-Benz introduced its new, compact model W201, which revolutionized all ideas about a car of this level and supplanted the models of the European D segment of its direct competitors, including the BMW 3 Series.

Model 190s were produced for 11 years, in 1993 they were discontinued. The c190 was replaced by the W202.

Thanks to the history and success of w210, the company continues to develop the C-class and produces the most powerful cars of the 21st century. In 2000, the second generation was launched - the W203, which replaced the equally popular W202. Later, in 2007, the third generation entered the market under the name W204.

The fourth generation W205 has already become a winner in the category "Best Car in its Class" according to Euro NCAP.

The designers were faced with the task of reducing the size and weight of the car, so the version 190 w201 was ultimately shortened by 30 cm (compared to the standard W123) and lighter by 160 kg (due to the use of light-alloy materials in the body). The total length of 201 cars was 4420 mm. Because of its size, the Mercedes 190 was named Baby Benz.

Little Merc was supposed only in 1 version - a 4-door sedan with a unique, original appearance and a badge on the trunk "190". Subsequently, all modifications of the 190 model had a short index - 190. It is noteworthy that this index was applied to all modifications of the w201 and did not depend on the engine size. To distinguish the model name, only numbers were added.

They made protruding parts on the body, gave it a wedge-shaped shape, leveled the windows and doors, installed lining on the roof (replaced the gutters). Thanks to the changes in the appearance of the e190, the car has improved handling, maneuverability, drag coefficient and fuel consumption have decreased.

In 1988, manufacturers for the first time made changes that did not fundamentally affect the design of the car. The foliage became wider and covered the lower part of the car. The bumper has changed and thanks to anti-corrosion protection, the body has become additionally protected from corrosion.
