Overview

1993 Mercedes-Benz S 320 W140 (Automatic / 5 Gears) RWD [1991-1994]

The 1993 Mercedes-Benz S 320 with 5-speed automatic gearbox represents the pinnacle of refinement for the six-cylinder engines of the W140 (Phase-I) series. This model, introduced during the renaming period of the S-class, benefits from the advanced Bosch HFM engine management system, which optimizes the performance of the 3.2-liter M104 engine . The device with the fifth gear “overdrive” not only improves fuel economy at high speeds, but makes the journey even more smooth by lowering the engine rotations. With insulating double glazing and a chassis that offers an unprecedented cruise over the road, the S 320 remains the royal limousine that set German luxury and engineering standards for the 1990s.

Summary

Experts rate the 5-speed S320 as one of the most intelligent cars to own in the W140 series, as it offers the perfect balance between power and cost of operation. According to ProfessCars™ ratings, the vehicle exhibits very good performance with a top speed of 227 km/h and a 0-100 km/h acceleration of 8.8 seconds. The average consumption of 13.6 L/100km is highly respectable for a vehicle of this size, thanks to the increased efficiency of the 5-speed gearbox. The starting price in June 1993 in Germany was around 112,400 Deutsche Mark (approximately €57,500). Today, this model is considered a true "classic" that still offers a driving experience that many modern cars find difficult to achieve.
