Mercedes-Benz W124
2.2 million units produced over 10 years
The W124 model continued to be manufactured for a long time until 1997, with a total production of 2.2 million units. Many of the vehicles are still in operation today.
Forty years ago, a success story began at Mercedes-Benz that continues to this day: in November 1984, Mercedes-Benz unveiled the W124 model series. Just one month later, this attractive four-door sedan in the upper midsize class was launched onto the market as the first of a new generation of Mercedes-Benz models.
The W124 series, which captivated customers with its aerodynamics, timeless modern design, and many innovative technologies, was named the “E-Class” from 1993 onwards. After 13 years of production and sales of over 2.2 million units, production of the W124 series ended in 1997, but the saloon, estate, coupe, and convertible models are now highly sought after as modern classics. Rare versions such as the “E500” have also earned the status of collector’s items.
The W124’s greatest strengths are its timeless beauty and practicality that rivals the latest models. This makes it a reliable entry point into historic cars. Mercedes-Benz Classic distributes “Mercedes-Benz Classic Genuine Parts” globally, making it possible to obtain spare and wear parts at relatively reasonable prices. The company also supports the fan community through its certified brand club.
