The Unfading Mercedes 220

The debut of the Mercedes 220 car caused once a very ambiguous reaction of all lovers of this brand. Then it looked very strange. For the first time manufacturers have not increased, but reduced the dimensions of the sedan.

This is not expected absolutely no one, of course, the producers heard a lot of criticism. According to most skeptics, the car lost its face, ceased to be what everyone saw it. But, as it turned out, they were not entirely right. Mercedes 220 is in demand and to this day.

As a rule, it is the cars of the representative class that are the original testers of new technologies. At one time, Mercedes 220 was no exception.

The car was released in two different versions of the body. They differed in length and wheelbase. In this case, even in a short version, passengers do not feel deprived in space. And if we talk about an extended version, then it can generally be called super-spacious.

The model is characterized by the strength of the hull design. Manufacturers have taken care that the quality of paint and varnish allowed the owner for a long time not to think about the safety of the body Mercedes 220. Comments of workers of the SRT confirm this fact. If the car was not in an accident, then the appearance of rust was extremely rare.

Problems to the driver will not be created by one system. This applies to electronics. Malfunctions do not appear so often, and if they do, it's not difficult to deal with them. As a rule, the system Command can be out of order , which it is recommended to replace at the STR.

Like other S-Class cars, the Mercedes 220 has various security systems. The same goes for comfort in the cabin. The set of options that this unit possesses is not distinguished by many modern machines.

Advantages are the following: pneumatic hydraulic suspension, which allows you to adjust the rigidity, as well as the road clearance of the car. It should be noted that all seats are equipped with a separate ventilation system, there is a radar cruise control, which allows the driver to keep distance to the car that rides ahead.

Even then, the keyless Go Keyless Go was created, which was a bit wild for that time. No wonder, even now for any driver it will be unusual that only by touching the door handle the car will open. As well as the fact that the machine can be started by pressing a button, having previously used the card. Mercedes has 40 electric drives and 850 different sensors that control 170 Mercedes GLC 220 devices. The drivers' reviews confirm that the car is for real sloths. Absolutely everything is controlled by the "iron horse" itself. You are surprised when you remember that the age of this car is 11 years.

Under the hood of the Mercedes 220, 6-cylinder units are painted, the volume of which is 2.8, 3.2 liters and 3.7 liters. Their power - 204, 224 and 245 hp, respectively. To date, these motors have large runs. But again, it is worth noting that even the old motors are doing their job well.

Let's sum up. The car is comfortable, it is currently inexpensive, and the reliability of the main nodes is quite high. And from the minuses - only increased fuel consumption, as well as expensive maintenance and maintenance.
