About this generation

The E-Class nameplate reached the U.S. for 1994 on the final W124-based lineup, covering sedan, coupe, convertible, and wagon body styles. These cars carried over the traditional Mercedes executive-car formula before the all-new W210 E-Class arrived for 1996. U.S. sales ended after the 1995 model year for the W124 E-Class range.
