The Mercedes-Benz 190, also known as the “Baby Benz,” was a compact executive car produced from 1982 to 1993. It was popular in New Zealand due to its sleek design, reliable engineering, and fuel efficiency, with a 2.0L engine and 7.5L/100km fuel consumption.
The 190 was available in both sedan and wagon models, with the latter being particularly popular in New Zealand for its practicality. It boasted a range of features such as power windows, air conditioning, and ABS brakes. The 190E 2.3-16 model also had a sportier edge, with a top speed of 230 km/h and acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in just 7.5 seconds.
