This was one of the most successful vehicles in Mercedes-Benz's history, with over 2.7-million units produced between 1984 and 1997.

In 1993 the German automaker decided to give the E-Class a final bump for the last years on the market and upgraded the vehicle's lineup both on the inside and on the outside. In addition, the drivetrains were also improved, even though the car was considered to be over-engineered. In addition, the engineering upgrades done on the rest of the vehicle were consistent and, moreover, later on, were embraced by the entire industry.

While the rest of the world was caught in the bio-design trend frenzy, Mercedes-Benz stood on its path and wrote its own rules. Thus, the 1993 E-Class still sported the same rectangular headlights as the 1985 model but changed. The blinkers sported a clear lens instead of the amber one previously used. On the profile, the four-door sedan sported body-colored cladding on the doors, front fenders, and rear quarter-panels. These were known as Sacco-planks, after the name of the car's designer, Bruno Sacco.

Inside, the built quality was impressive. Even though the dashboard looked kind of old or outdated, the wood trims, the leather, and the chromed metallic parts looked better than in any car on the market. Moreover, the E-Class featured, as options, automatic climate control, a Bose sound system, heated seats, and power everything.

Under the hood, the E-Class was offered with a wide choice of gasoline or turbo-diesel engines. Depending on the version, they were paired with either manual or automatic transmission. A novelty for this E-Class was the introduction of the all-wheel drive system, named 4Matic, in Mercedes-Benz's designation.
