Mercedes-Benz E-Class Sedan (W210) (W210)

The W210 traded the W124’s severity for oval eyes — four separate round headlamps under a single lens that split opinion instantly and then defined the Mercedes-Benz face for a decade.

Launched in 1995, it introduced Brake Assist and made ESP available across the range, and it carried the marque’s first common-rail CDI diesels. Engines ran from the 2.0-liter M111 four through the M104 and M112 sixes to the M113 V8, with AMG offering the E 50 and later the 354 PS E 55.

The estate is catalogued separately as the S210. Water-based paints of the era have thinned the survivors, but the W210 was the volume Mercedes-Benz of the late nineties.
