1993 Mercedes C-class w202 - Intelligent technology

Описание: In May 1993 the second generation of the compact class was presented with the model series 202. Analogous to the generally known designation "S-Class", which has been used for more than two decades for the top-class range of Mercedes-Benz, the new models were united under the newly created term "C-Class". In this context, the type designations have been changed as well: the already known three-figure designations that are derived from the displacement are now preceded by a letter, in this case the "C" documenting the class to which the vehicle belonged. The abbreviations "D" and "E" for Diesel respectively petrol-injection-engines disappeared without a replacement.

A novelty represented the concept of different styling and equipment lines, in which the C-Class types were offered. Apart from the "classic version" the three variants "Esprit", "Elegance", and "Sport" were on offer. In the beginning the model range of the C-Class comprised seven models, three of them with a Diesel engine and four with an petrol engine. The range of the petrol aggregates mainly consisted of the known four-valve units having already stood the test of time with the 124 series since October 1992. A novelty was the 1.8-liter unit that was also equipped, as a modified version of the 2.0-liter variant, with the 4-valve technology and the electronic injection system with P-motronic. Of the Diesel engines only the 2.0-liter unit of the predecessor had been taken over.
