Daimler-Benz’s 4-speed automatic transmission delivers a stress-free driving experience, achieving a top speed of 165 km/h and a 0-100 km/h acceleration in 12.7 seconds .

Summary

The Mercedes-Benz 220 SE Coupe (W111) with automatic transmission was the ideal choice for those looking for a luxury vehicle for smooth and elegant travel. The Bosch mechanical injection system gives the engine good elasticity, although the automatic gearbox slightly penalizes performance and increases fuel consumption compared to the manual variant. The strongest feature of this model remains the exterior design created by Paul Bracq, where the lack of the B pole and the abundant use of chrome give the tool an unmatched status. The cabin, enriched with handmade wood panels and quality leather, offers a very refined environment even to today's standards. For buyers of the time, this model was a symbol of German engineering success and sophistication.
