Model history

The W126 series was introduced in 1979 as the new luxury class generation from Mercedes-Benz, replacing the W116 series. It set new standards in safety, comfort, and efficiency and was produced until 1991—with individual special-purpose vehicles even remaining in production until 1994. With a total of over 890,000 units produced, including around 74,000 coupés (C126), the W126 is still considered the world's most built luxury sedan. It was ahead of its time and shaped the image of the S-Class for over a decade. It was succeeded by the W140 series.
