Model history

Mercedes-Benz launched its first factory-built station wagon in 1978 with the T-model of the 123 series. The internal designation was S123 – the "T" stood for tourism and transport. Technically largely identical to the sedan, the station wagon offered more cargo space, reinforced brakes on the rear axle, and numerous interior configuration options. The T-model combined comfort, everyday practicality, and durability – and quickly became the benchmark in the upper mid-range class. By 1986, over 199,000 units of this popular classic had been produced.

    Technik: 1966 und 1967 wurden die Heckflossen-Typen der Baureihe 110 und 111 als Kombi „Universal“ angeboten, die wenigen (unter 3000 Stück), in Belgien bei I.M.A. in Daimler-Benz-Lizenz gefertigten Kombis blieben Exoten. Andere Mercedes-Benz-Kombis, Bestatterfahrzeuge und Krankenwagen waren sämtlich Umbauten von Karosseriebauunternehmen, so war es auch beim W 114/115, von dem es ab Werk keinen Kombi gab. Mit der Einführung des T-Modells gab es elf Jahre später mit der Baureihe 123 wieder Mercedes-Benz-Kombis. Ergebnisse der Marktforschung, die während der Konzeption der Baureihe 123 lief, zeigten, dass eine deutliche Nachfrage nach einem sportlichen, luxuriösen Fünftürer bestand. Der Vorstand gab 1975 grünes Licht für das Projekt. „Kombi“ sollte der neue Mercedes-Benz nicht heißen; auch die bei den Heckflossenkombis kurzzeitig genutzte Bezeichnung „Universal“ fand keine Zustimmung. Zunächst war die Bezeichnung „Stationswagen“ vorgesehen. Statt „250 K“ oder „250 U“ trüge die Laderaum-Variante des kleinen Sechszylinders dann das Kürzel „250 St“ auf der Heckklappe. Schließlich fiel die Entscheidung für das Kürzel „T“: der Buchstabe steht für Tourismus und Transport. Auf der Internationalen Automobil-Ausstellung in Frankfurt am Main 1977 wurden die Kombimodelle – intern als S 123 bezeichnet – der Öffentlichkeit präsentiert. Im April 1978 begann die Serienproduktion des T-Modells (S 123) im Werk Bremen. Das Fahrzeug entspricht technisch der Limousine: Antrieb, Bremsen und Fahrwerk sind ebenso nahezu gleich wie die äußeren Abmessungen (Länge, Breite und Radstand). Der Kombi hat hinten etwas stärkere Bremsen (42 mm statt 38 mm Bremskolben). Wenn die serienmäßigen Sitze mit Fahrer und Passagieren belegt sind, bietet der Wagen noch Raum für 523 Liter Zuladung bis zur Fensterkante. Bei umgeklappter hinterer Sitzbank beträgt das Ladevolumen bis zur Fensterkante 879 Liter. Das Konzept bot mehrere Variationsmöglichkeiten in der Gestaltung des Innenraums. So konnte die Rücksitzbank als Sonderausstattung mit einer asymmetrischen Teilung geliefert werden. Je nach Bedarf ließen sich dann ein oder zwei Drittel der Lehne umlegen. LG Tom
