Mercedes S class W140 1991 - 1998 - Used vehicle
In 1991, the new generation Mercedes S class W140 was presented at the Geneva Motor Show. The design of the car is based on the traditional style of Mercedes-Benz. The first thing everyone noticed about the car was its length of 5113 mm. The Mercedes S-Class W140 comes with a V12 engine for the first time, ESP Electronic Vehicle Stability System and double glazing, so the wind noise during highway driving is minimal.
As for the offer of engines, it depended on the market itself. There were two diesel engines on offer: a turbo 3.5 engine with 150 hp, which was replaced in 1996 with a 3.0 engine. The petrol engines on offer are: 2.8 engine with 198 hp, 3.2 engine with 231 hp, 4.2 V8 engine with 279 hp, later with 286 hp, 5.0 V8 engine with 335 hp and 6.0 V12 engine with 400 hp, later with 408 hp.
Massive structure, ABS, driver and front passenger airbags, side airbags and anti-slip system have enabled Mercedes With class W140 good safety. The steering is light and although it doesn't give much feedback, which is not important with this car, the steering wheel is good and the ride is better than in some modern sedans. Driving comfort is guaranteed as the W140 absorbs bumps along the road, and space is sufficient when there are five passengers in the car. Parking sensors are also available, which makes parking much easier with such a large car.
